Nawayef Mansions

About Nawayef Mansions

Nawayef Mansions is the summit of the Nawayef programme: six, seven and eight-bedroom detached mansions in the West Hill neighbourhood, in five distinct styles that run from contemporary Mediterranean to mid-century modern. These are the largest homes Modon builds in Abu Dhabi.

The proposition is not really square metres. At this level the buyer is choosing a plot, a view and an architectural identity, and the service that comes with it: private beach access, a clubhouse, a mosque, playgrounds and the security of a gated estate within a gated island.

What to weigh. First, the documentation gap. There is no current price, no size schedule and no plan published for the mansions. On a AED 41 million purchase that is unacceptable in itself, and the first thing to establish is whether you are dealing with current stock or a legacy release.

Second, the alternative. Modon’s current mansion product is at Nawayef East — six to eight bedrooms, on the east hill, price on application. If you are a mansion buyer today, that is where the conversation starts.

Third, the market. Abu Dhabi’s ultra-prime villa market is thin and largely made up of Saadiyat, Al Jubail and Hudayriyat. That means few comparables and slow sales, which is good for negotiation and bad for liquidity. Buy a mansion here to live in, not to trade.

Fourth, the running cost. A mansion on a masterplan pays community charges on a large plot, plus pool, landscape and staffing. Ask for a full annual cost estimate, not a service charge per square foot.

Compiled November 2026 from the listing portal’s Nawayef Mansions project record (bedroom range, Nawayef West location, the five mansion styles, entry price, handover, payment plan and amenities) and from Modon’s current Nawayef East page, which lists six to eight-bedroom Mansions with the price to be confirmed.

Homes, sizes and price

No sizes are published by either source. The portal gives a range and an entry price; Modon gives the range and no price at all.

Five styles in one neighbourhood is unusual at this level and it matters for resale: a mansion in a distinctive style will always have a smaller buyer pool than one in a neutral one, however good it looks.

Ask for the plot area before the built-up area. At AED 41 million, what you are buying is land with a view, and the difference between a 1,200 sq m and a 2,000 sq m plot is the whole negotiation.

Ask, too, what is included: pool, landscape, majlis, staff accommodation, garage capacity. On a mansion those items are often excluded from the headline price and added later.

Price and payment plan

The portal records 10% on booking, 30% during construction and 60% on handover. No current plan is published for the mansions.

At this price the payment plan is less important than the contract: who is building it, when, and what happens if the specification changes. Ask for the SPA in full, with the specification schedule attached, before discussing any schedule of payments.

Ask also whether the developer will accept a staged construction payment against a bank guarantee or escrow release. On a bespoke mansion that is a normal request and a reasonable one.

Amenities

The published list is short and estate-scale: direct beach access, a mosque, playgrounds, a clubhouse with a gym, and shared swimming pools, plus golf and cycling for the wider island.

At this level, what matters more is what is private: the pool, the garden, the garage and the staff accommodation. Ask for the villa specification rather than the community one.

The island supplies the rest — the golf course, the surf park, the velodrome, Marsana and 220 km of cycle tracks — and it is already built, which is the strongest part of the case for buying on Hudayriyat rather than on a promise.

Where it is

Nawayef Mansions sits in Nawayef West on Hudayriyat Island, on the higher ground with views towards the Abu Dhabi skyline and the Gulf. The island is reached by the Hudayriyat Bridge from the Al Bateen side of the city.

The position is the most private in the masterplan and the least walkable. That is the trade a mansion buyer makes: exclusivity and outlook in exchange for a car journey to everything.

Ask about the bridge at peak times and about service access to the estate. On a mansion, deliveries and staff movements are part of daily life, and the gate arrangement matters.
