The Beach House Fahid

The Beach House Fahid is a residential development by Aldar on Fahid Island, Abu Dhabi, comprising 52 apartments across 11 low-rise buildings and scheduled for completion in Q4 2029.

# Eleven buildings on a low-density island

Fahid Island sits off the Abu Dhabi coast, and Aldar has positioned The Beach House Fahid as one of the first substantial residential offerings to take shape there. With just 52 homes spread across 11 separate buildings, the density is deliberately restrained. That configuration sets it apart from the tightly stacked towers that define much of Abu Dhabi's inner-city waterfront.

The architectural approach follows the island's low-rise character: buildings that sit close to the ground, oriented toward the water rather than competing with a skyline. Kite Beach lies 1.2 kilometres from the development, and the proximity to open coastline shapes the project's proportions and orientation in ways that a mid-city plot would not allow.

Construction is under way, with progress currently at the early stages ahead of the 2029 handover.

# Residences: two- and three-bedroom apartments with generous floor plates

The active price band runs from AED 4,767,803 to AED 5,736,886, covering the two- and three-bedroom apartments that form the core of the collection. Studios at 474 sq ft and one-bedroom units at 792 sq ft also feature in the broader range.

Two-bedroom apartments span roughly 1,548 to 2,980 sq ft depending on the specific unit and building, a span that reflects meaningfully different configurations rather than superficial variations. Three-bedroom apartments cluster between approximately 1,959 and 2,706 sq ft, with pricing from AED 5,736,886 to around AED 7,112,057. The upper end of that range, at just under AED 7.2 million for a sub-2,000 sq ft layout, reflects the premium attached to floor level and orientation.

All residences are semi-furnished and include built-in wardrobes. Kitchens come equipped with appliances. The specification sits within Aldar's standard mid-to-upper residential band: quality finishes, neutral palettes, functional layouts designed for year-round occupation rather than short-let turnover.

Service charges are set at AED 32 per sq ft annually.

# Amenities: pools, gyms and co-working space

The facilities list is focused rather than exhaustive. Two swimming pools and two gymnasiums anchor the leisure offer, supported by co-working lounges, multipurpose rooms, children's play areas, and communal lounge and community zones. There is no spa, no rooftop bar, no branded hospitality element listed in the confirmed amenities, which is consistent with the development's positioning as a residential community rather than a serviced resort product.

The co-working provision is a practical inclusion. With a meaningful share of buyers in this bracket working across time zones or running businesses that do not require a fixed office, the availability of a dedicated workspace within the building matters more than it might have five years ago.

# Getting around from Fahid Island

Zayed International Airport sits 14 kilometres away. For international buyers who travel frequently, that proximity is a practical consideration, though drive times will depend on route and time of day.

# Retail, schools and leisure nearby

Yas Mall is 7 kilometres from the development, and Yas School is 4.7 kilometres. West Yas Family Park is 5.2 kilometres out. These are all Abu Dhabi points of reference rather than Dubai connections, which is worth clarifying: Fahid Island is an Abu Dhabi address, and the lifestyle infrastructure buyers would draw on sits within the Abu Dhabi and Yas Island corridor, not the Dubai mainland.

For buyers who split time between the two emirates, Zayed International Airport's expanding route network and the 130-kilometre road connection to Dubai are the relevant logistics.

# The case for an Abu Dhabi island address in 2024

Buyers who have tracked Abu Dhabi's residential market over the past two years will recognise the dynamic Aldar is working with. The Emirate's property transaction volumes have risen steadily, and island addresses with restricted supply and genuine coastal frontage have held pricing better than comparable mid-city stock.

The Beach House Fahid appeals most directly to buyers seeking a primary or secondary residence with an identifiable lifestyle rationale: low density, proximity to open water, a school within five kilometres, and an airport under a 20-minute drive. The scale of individual apartments, many exceeding 1,600 sq ft in the two-bedroom category, also makes the project more relevant to families and long-stay residents than to investors optimising for short-term rental yield. At AED 4.77 million entry for the marketed range, it occupies the considered upper-mid tier of Abu Dhabi's new-build market, below the ultra-prime branded residences on Saadiyat but positioned clearly above the commodity apartment stock on the mainland.
