Fahid Beach Terraces

Fahid Beach Terraces is a residential development by Aldar on Fahid Island, Abu Dhabi, comprising three low-rise buildings with eight residences across a beachfront site 0.8 kilometres from Kite Beach. Scheduled for completion in Q3 2029, the project is currently under construction and available for purchase, with pricing from AED 6.32 million.

# Three buildings on a coastal island still taking shape

Fahid Island sits in a part of Abu Dhabi that is actively being planned rather than retrospectively densified. The master plan favours low density, pedestrian-friendly layouts and open coastal land, which gives Fahid Beach Terraces an unusual quality for the region: space that is unlikely to be built out around it in the way that has surprised buyers in faster-moving districts.

Three buildings house eight units in total. That arithmetic alone signals something. This is not a tower-block scheme selling hundreds of near-identical apartments; it is closer in character to a boutique compound than a conventional residential development.

The architecture draws on the coastal setting without announcing it. Forms are horizontal rather than vertical, integrating landscaped podium gardens that blur the boundary between interior and exterior. The proximity to Kite Beach, less than a kilometre on foot, anchors the project physically in the waterfront environment that defines the island's identity.

# Residences that run from 1,761 to 3,530 square feet

The available configurations span one, two, three and four bedrooms. Two-bedroom apartments range considerably in footprint and price: from 1,761 sq ft at AED 6.32 million to 3,008 sq ft at AED 9.26 million, a spread that reflects meaningful differences in layout and likely terrace allocation rather than mere orientation. Three-bedroom residences reach 3,530 sq ft at AED 10.63 million, while the four-bedroom configuration at 4,060 sq ft carries a guide price of AED 13.32 million.

Residences are delivered semi-furnished, with kitchens equipped. Service charges are set at AED 34 per square foot.

The name "Beach Terraces" is not decorative. Outdoor terrace space appears to be a structural feature of the product rather than a cursory balcony, consistent with the low-rise typology and the podium garden design.

# Amenities calibrated for residential use

The facilities list is specific rather than exhaustive. Infinity pools, a workout studio, sauna and steam rooms, a cinema, a co-working lounge, a kids' room, landscaped podium gardens, a volleyball court and a padel court are confirmed for the development.

# Sport and recovery in one compound

The combination of padel and volleyball courts alongside the sauna, steam rooms and workout studio reflects a considered approach to active residents rather than a tick-box amenity package. Padel has particular resonance with European and GCC buyers who treat it as a social habit rather than an occasional activity.

The cinema and co-working lounge address the practical reality that residences of this size frequently serve as primary or secondary homes for buyers who work flexibly across time zones.

# Island location, with the capital accessible

Kite Beach is the nearest landmark at 0.8 km. Yas School sits 4.1 km away; West Yas Family Park and West Yas Plaza are 4.5 km and 4.3 km respectively. Zayed International Airport is 13.5 km from the site, a distance that places the island roughly 10 to 15 minutes from the terminal under normal traffic conditions.

The airport proximity matters for buyers who split time between Abu Dhabi and London, Geneva or Singapore. An early-morning departure does not require an overnight in a hotel or a disruptive pre-dawn drive across the capital.

Fahid Island's relative quiet is a function of its low-density planning controls and its island geography. Road access is controlled by the limited number of crossings, which shapes the residential character in ways that no amount of landscaping on a mainland plot can replicate.

# The buyer this project is built for

Fahid Beach Terraces occupies a specific position in the Abu Dhabi market. It is priced and configured for buyers who want genuine space, a beachfront address and a low-density environment, but who are not purchasing a standalone villa. The eight-unit scale means owners share facilities with a small number of neighbours rather than several hundred.

The profile that emerges is an international buyer, likely already familiar with Abu Dhabi or the broader UAE, who views a 1,761 to 3,530 sq ft apartment on a coastal island as a primary residence or a long-hold second home rather than a short-term yield play. The 2029 completion timeline suits buyers who are comfortable with an off-plan horizon and who want to enter a district while it is still forming.

Aldar's track record across Yas Island and broader Abu Dhabi gives institutional credibility to a delivery timeline that extends four years out. For buyers weighing this against established addresses in Dubai's Palm or in Jumeirah Bay, the Fahid Island proposition rests on lower density, a quieter urban context and the particular character of an island that has not yet reached its ceiling.
