Nawayef Village

About Nawayef Village

Nawayef Village is the affordable end of the Nawayef family, and the one that changes the character of Hudayriyat Island most. It introduces townhouses — and twin villas — to a masterplan that had until then been selling detached villas and mansions. Three to five bedrooms, a gated neighbourhood, and a starting price of AED 4.1 million.

The design language is Tuscan: pitched roofs, warm render, loggias and timber. It is a deliberate contrast with the contemporary glass of Nawayef East and the Andalusian golf estates, and it gives the island a village texture rather than an estate one.

What to weigh. First, the product. A townhouse on Hudayriyat is a different proposition from a villa: shared walls, a smaller plot, a community charge that covers shared pools and landscape rather than a private garden alone. In exchange you get a lower entry price and the island’s amenity on your doorstep.

Second, the location within the island. Nawayef Village sits between the West and East Hills, within walking distance of a retail avenue with a boutique cinema, and minutes from parks, schools, a health centre and the beach. That is a better-connected position than the hillside estates, which trade views for a car journey.

Third, the price. At AED 4.1 million, Nawayef Village is the cheapest freehold way onto Hudayriyat Island and about a third of the price of the villas at Al Naseem. If the island is the point — the surf park, the cycling, the beach — this is the rational entry.

Fourth, the wait. Q1 2029 is a long horizon, and the neighbourhood around your townhouse will still be under construction when you move in. Ask which phases are being built first and what is scheduled to open alongside yours.

Compiled November 2026 from Modon’s Nawayef Village project page (unit types, Tuscan design, the AED 4.1 million starting price, the 50/50 plan, the Q1 2029 handover, the retail avenue and proximity to the beach, schools and health centre) and the listing portal’s Nawayef Village record, which agrees on price and date.

Homes, sizes and price

Modon publishes one starting price for the whole neighbourhood and no size schedule. The range — three to five bedrooms, plus twin villas — means the entry price buys the smallest townhouse.

The twin villa is the interesting option and the one most buyers overlook. It is effectively a semi-detached house — two homes sharing a party wall, each with its own garden and entrance — and it usually offers more space and a better plot than the largest townhouse for similar money.

Ask for the built-up area and the plot size on each type, and for the site plan. On a townhouse street the end-of-terrace and corner units carry a premium and are worth it; the mid-terrace with a north-facing garden is the one to negotiate on.

With a single published entry price, the per-square-foot arithmetic only becomes possible once you have the schedule. Insist on it before you compare Nawayef Village with Al Naseem or with the golf estates.

Price and payment plan

A clean 50/50 plan: half during construction, half on handover. The portal records the same headline split as 10/40/50.

On AED 4.1 million, 50% at handover is AED 2.05 million. Q1 2029 gives you roughly two and a half years of construction payments, which is a comfortable runway for a mortgage application but a long time to hold a deposit in escrow.

Ask whether the construction half is tied to milestones and what the SPA says about delay. On a large masterplan townhouse delivery depends on infrastructure as well as the building, so the delay risk is higher than on a single tower.

Amenities

The neighbourhood package is practical rather than showy: landscaped parks, community centres with swimming pools, walking and cycling paths, a gated perimeter, and proximity to a retail avenue, schools, a health centre and the beach.

The retail avenue with a boutique cinema is the amenity that will define daily life here — it is the difference between a bedroom community and a place where you can walk to dinner. Ask when it opens relative to your handover.

Beyond the gate is the island: Surf Abu Dhabi, the Velodrome, 321 Sports, Marsana and 220 km of cycle tracks, all already operating. That existing infrastructure is the strongest reason to accept a Hudayriyat location over a mainland compound.

Where it is

Nawayef Village sits between the West and East Hills of Nawayef on Hudayriyat Island, the 51 million sq m masterplan off Abu Dhabi’s south-west coast. The island is reached by the Hudayriyat Bridge, opposite Al Bateen.

Within the island the position is central: walking distance to the retail avenue, minutes to the beach, parks, schools and the health centre, and a short drive to the sports precinct. Compared with the hillside estates, you sacrifice elevation and views and gain walkability.

The caveat is the bridge. One road connects the island to the city, and the island’s leisure attractions draw large weekend crowds. Ask about the access plan as the residential population grows, and drive it on a Friday afternoon before you commit.
