Wadeem Gardens: Freehold Villas on Hudayriyat Island Built Around a 2.3 km Air-Conditioned Spine

Wadeem Gardens is Modon's gated villa community on Hudayriyat Island, Abu Dhabi - a collection of 4, 5 and 6-bedroom villas offered in a choice of Arabian or Modern facades, each with two internal layout options. Prices start from AED 8.7 million, handover is Q2 2031, and the homes are freehold for buyers of all nationalities. What sets the community apart is its organising idea: a 2.3 km air-conditioned central spine that threads retail, schools, healthcare, offices, sport and culture through a community planned for 35,000 residents, so the things you use every day are a walk away rather than a drive.

The Villas: 4,628 to 6,361 Sq Ft on Plots up to 7,750 Sq Ft

Every home is a two-storey villa with covered parking for up to three cars, a separate show kitchen and service kitchen, a maid's room, a driver's room, a laundry, a garden bathroom, a ground-floor guest bedroom and a first-floor family living room. A deck and a pool provision are set out in the garden.

• 4-Bedroom Villa - 430 sq m (4,628 sq ft) on a 532 sq m (5,726 sq ft) plot. From AED 8.7M.
• 5-Bedroom Villa - 510 sq m (5,490 sq ft) on a 630 sq m (6,781 sq ft) plot. From AED 10.2M.
• 6-Bedroom Villa - 591 sq m (6,361 sq ft) on a 720 sq m (7,750 sq ft) plot. From AED 11.6M.

One detail worth being precise about, because it is widely misreported: the headline figures quoted elsewhere - 532, 630 and 720 sq m - are the plot sizes, not the built-up areas. The villas themselves are 430, 510 and 591 sq m. Equally, the garden shows a pool provision: the space and services are prepared, but the pool itself is installed by the owner and is subject to approvals. Budget for it separately.

Two Facades, Two Layouts: Four Ways to Build the Same Villa

Modon lets buyers choose twice. First the facade - Arabian, with its solid massing, deep shaded loggias and mashrabiya screening, or Modern, with slimmer steel-framed glazing, louvered shutters and a lighter roofline. Then the internal layout - Option A or Option B.

The difference between the two layouts is not cosmetic. Option B adds a dedicated majlis - 3.7 x 4.2 m in the 4-bedroom, 3.6 x 5.0 m in the 6-bedroom - and reorganises the ground floor around it, while Option A gives the space over to a larger service zone and a bigger maid's and laundry area. For families who receive guests formally, Option B is the one to look at; for families who prioritise back-of-house space, Option A.

Room sizes are generous in both. In the 6-bedroom Option B the living room runs 9.3 x 5.5 m; in Option A the master bedroom is 5.7 x 4.8 m with the balcony at 6.8 x 1.7 m.

The 2.3 km Spine: Six Districts in One Walk

The spine is the community's spine in the literal sense - an air-conditioned route that every villa cluster feeds into, organised into six zones:

• Movement & Connectivity - shaded running and walking routes through planted corridors.
• Hospitality & Lifestyle - hotels and the waterfront plaza.
• Business & Innovation - the office park and innovation hub, so work does not mean crossing to the mainland.
• Education & Learning - two international schools and a nursery.
• Hospitals & Healthcare - healthcare centres and the Wadeem Longevity Clinic.
• Arts & Culture - Wadeem The Arts and the Maritime Museum.

Amenities and the Masterplan

Beyond the spine, the masterplan sets out a sports arena, six clubhouses, a football academy, multi-sport courts, cinemas, a retail boulevard, majlis halls, a town square, a waterfront promenade with a waterfront taxi pier, parks and green spaces, waterfront retail and hotels. For a villa community this is an unusually complete programme - closer to a town than a gated enclave.

Location: Hudayriyat East, Minutes from the Corniche

Wadeem Gardens sits on the eastern edge of Hudayriyat Island, beside the tunnel link to the mainland. From the community:

• Al Qana - 5 minutes
• Zayed International Airport - 15 minutes
• Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) - 20 minutes
• Louvre Abu Dhabi - 23 minutes
• Disneyland Abu Dhabi - 25 minutes

Hudayriyat Island has become Abu Dhabi's sport and leisure island, and Wadeem and Hudayriyat Golf Estates are building out the residential side around it.

Two Payment Plans, Including a 25/75 with ADIB

Modon offers a choice, which is rare at this price point.

Non-financed - 45% / 55%: 5% down payment on booking (October 2026), then 5% in June 2027, 5% in December 2027, 5% in June 2028, 10% in October 2029, 10% in October 2030, 5% in April 2031, and the remaining 55% in June 2031.

Financed - 25% / 75% with ADIB: 5% down payment (October 2026), 5% in June 2027, 5% in December 2027, 5% in June 2028, then 20% in October 2028 and the final 55% in June 2031, both through ADIB financing. Modon's partnership with Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank covers Sharia-compliant financing with zero processing and valuation fees for eligible applicants, subject to off-plan mortgage approval.

UAE Nationals receive a 5% rebate from Modon (non-transferable, T&Cs apply).

The Investment Case

Three things make Wadeem Gardens worth a close look. First, it is freehold for all nationalities on an island where Modon controls the masterplan end to end, so the amenity programme is not speculative. Second, the 25/75 financed plan means a buyer can hold a villa with 25% paid across nearly five years before the mortgage drawdown - unusually light exposure for an AED 8.7M+ asset. Third, Hudayriyat is one of the few Abu Dhabi locations where the leisure infrastructure arrived before the housing, which historically compresses the gap between launch price and completion value.
