Fahid Island: Abu Dhabi’s New Wellness Coastal Destination
Abu Dhabi launches Fahid Island, a Dh40 billion project redefining coastal living with wellness focus. The 2.7 million square metre island offers over 6,000 luxury homes and 4.6 km of beaches.
A Wellness Hub Like No Other
Fahid Island features a 10 km fitness corridor promoting active lifestyles. It stands as Abu Dhabi’s first coastal wellness island. Fahid Island received Fitwel certification, the first island globally with this healthy building standard.
Prime Location and Seamless Connectivity
The island sits between Yas and Saadiyat islands. It provides quick access to leisure, cultural hubs, and Zayed International Airport, all within 15 minutes.
Architectural Excellence and Diverse Residences
Renowned architects like Japan’s Kengo Kuma and London-based ACME shape Island. The community includes mid-rise apartments, townhouses, and ultra-luxury villas. Fahid Beach Residences lead the first housing release with seven buildings.
Nature Integrated with Urban Living
Over 30% of Fahid Island’s masterplan dedicates space to mangrove forests, gardens, and shaded trails. The 10 km Berm Park offers three cycling routes connected to Abu Dhabi’s main cycle loop.
Vibrant Social and Retail Spaces
A 2 km promenade creates Fahid Island’s social heart with retail, dining, and art installations. Coral Drive retail boulevard features boutique stores, cafes, a ballet school, and concept outlets.
Education and Community Focus
Aldar partners with an international education provider to establish a school on Fahid Island. The school supports Abu Dhabi’s vision to become a regional educational hub.
Sustainability at Its Core
Island holds LEED City and Communities Platinum precertification and aims for Estidama 3-Pearl accreditation. These recognitions highlight the project’s strong sustainability credentials.
Meeting Market Demand
Aldar Group CEO Talal Al Dhiyebi highlights Fahid Island as one of Abu Dhabi’s largest mixed-use masterplans. The project attracts strong interest from local buyers and international investors alike. Fahid Island promises a new benchmark in premium waterfront living, wellness, and sustainable design in Abu Dhabi.
