Nestled between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, this mega project just got introduced to the public and let’s be real, it looks like the ultimate glow-up for city life. With phase one launching in 2029, the island will have everything from a 10km running and cycling loop, a chic beach club, a five-star resort, and a pedestrian-only shopping street you’ll actually want to walk through.

Wellness Is Literally Built Into the Design

Fahid Island isn’t just pretty, it’s smart. It’s been created with movement and mindfulness in mind. Think leafy footpaths connecting every corner, so you’ll always be a scenic stroll away from your next coffee, workout, or beach dip.

For the fitness lovers (or anyone trying to hit 10K steps), there’s Berm Park, a 10km wellness corridor with running tracks and three separate cycling routes. Oh, and did we mention 4.6km of beautiful beaches? Yep, it’s giving year-round outdoor energy.

Coral Drive Is Where Style Meets Steps

Shopping fans, listen up. Fahid Island will be home to Coral Drive, Abu Dhabi’s answer to Rodeo Drive but on foot. It’s designed to be a walkable retail experience, with a mix of luxury and lifestyle stores (no brands announced yet, but we’re expecting big names). No traffic, no honking... Just vibes.

Designed for the Heat, and Your Dog Will Thank You

Fahid Island has also been cleverly designed to make outdoor living possible even in summer. Shaded walkways, drinking fountains, and heat-reflective flooring are just part of the plan to keep things cool, literally. Pet owners, your pups’ paws will be grateful.

In fact, it’s the world’s first Fitwel-certified island, a global stamp of approval for places built with health and happiness in mind. So yes, it’s official: this island is a wellness-first zone.

Want to Live There? Better Be Quick

The residential side of things kicks off with the Fahid Beach Residences, seven sleek mid-rise buildings offering 65 apartments each. Prices for a one-bedroom start at AED 3.5 million, and while the sales launch date hasn’t dropped yet, let’s just say this one might sell out fast. Abu Dhabi’s real estate market has been on fire lately, so don’t be surprised if these units disappear in a flash.

Plus, the island will feature a top-tier British school, a waterfront fitness centre, a mosque, and a dining promenade that’s all about sea views and good vibes.
