Al Naseem Villas

Al Naseem is a villa community by Modon Properties on Hudayriyat Island, a short causeway from central Abu Dhabi. Most master-planned islands in the Gulf sell the homes first and deliver the lifestyle years later. Hudayriyat did it the other way round: the beaches, the velodrome, the surf lagoon and the cycle network were open and busy long before the residential plots reached the market. Buyers here can go and use the place on a Saturday morning before they sign anything.

Four to six bedrooms, two architectural languages

The homes are four-, five- and six-bedroom villas on large plots, with wide setbacks between neighbours that give the community its low-density character. Modon builds them in two design directions, South Californian and Modern Contemporary, so the streetscape varies instead of repeating one elevation down the length of a road. The scale here is family housing in the proper sense: these are primary residences rather than weekend units, and the plot sizes are set accordingly.

An island that opened before its residents

Hudayriyat runs to more than 51 million sq m under Modon’s masterplan, and the parts already built are the real argument for the address:

• Surf Abu Dhabi and the island’s public beaches
• Velodrome Abu Dhabi and around 220 km of cycle track
• Circuit X adventure park
• the largest urban park in the emirate
• an 18-hole championship course at Hudayriyat Golf Estates

Almost none of that is a rendering, and that changes the risk profile of an off-plan purchase. The usual question with a new community is whether the promised amenities ever arrive. Here the only open question is whether the house is delivered on schedule.

Freehold, residency and payment

Hudayriyat is a designated investment zone, so these villas are freehold for foreign buyers, and at this price level the purchase clears the threshold for long-term UAE residency comfortably. A family-scale house, a title deed and residency in a single transaction is what pulls most buyers to this community rather than to comparable villa stock in Dubai. Payment runs from a booking deposit through staged construction instalments with the balance at handover in 2027, and the exact split is shown in the panel above. If you are weighing Al Naseem against Yas Island or Saadiyat, Gorilla Real Estate can compare them on plot size and price per built square foot, which is where Abu Dhabi’s villa communities actually separate.
