About This Project
Fahid Beach Terraces sits on one of the waterfront positions of Fahid Island, Aldar's island between Saadiyat and Yas. Six towers and 501 homes, drawn by Koichi Takada, and the homes available now are the two bedroom, as an apartment and as a duplex, and the three bedroom.

View grades
The scheme runs one to four bedroom apartments with maid's rooms and five bedroom penthouses at the top. Podium homes carry terraces, and they are the largest in the building. Every three bedroom available now is a podium home. That is not a marketing tier. It is what the project is called, and it is the decision to make here before you look at anything else.
Your view has a grade
Aldar sorts the homes by what they face: semi-water, water and garden, Coral Drive. Six towers stand on three podiums with varied floor plates and generous separation between them, so the grade is the difference you feel from the sofa.
The Clubhouse
Lifted above the shoreline and wrapped in water views. A gymnasium looking at the water, a workout studio and an assessment area. A spa with salt relaxation, cold plunge pools, sauna and steam rooms, and private and couple treatment rooms for massage, sound therapy and lymphatic drainage. Then a cinema, a kids' room, a tween room, a grab and go bar, and private dining with a social kitchen.
The wellness programme
A wellness concierge arranges the rest: nutrition consultations, mental wellness workshops, mindfulness coaching and sleep therapy, massage and physiotherapy, personal training, body composition assessments, family fitness sessions and kids' movement classes. Community clubs run for running, beach volleyball, padel and cycling, and supper clubs run in the dining room.
Outside, infinity pools, landscaped podium gardens, a padel court and a volleyball court, with a concierge and valet around the clock and direct access to the beach. Inside, kitchens with built-in appliances, a pull-out faucet and a magic corner, master wardrobes with sensor lighting and a built-in safe, rain showers, and power outlets inside the drawers. Two schemes, light and dark.
From AED 6.6M
Two bedroom duplexes from AED 6,566,700 and two bedroom apartments from AED 6,960,500. Three bedrooms, all on the podium, from AED 9,514,300, each priced by its layout and view grade. The plan is 40/60: five per cent on booking, dated instalments, and sixty per cent on handover. Registration in Abu Dhabi is 2% of the price plus an AED 3,150 admin fee, and ownership is freehold to all nationalities. We sell them at zero commission.
The island
Fahid Island runs to 2.7 million square metres between Saadiyat and Yas, with an eleven-kilometre coastline and King's College School Wimbledon opening on it in September 2028. Every zone is set out in our guide to Fahid Island.
Aldar on the island
Koichi Takada also drew Fahid Beach Residences, the island's first release, and Aldar's release in the middle of the island is The Beach House Fahid. Its other Abu Dhabi releases we cover are Marsa Al Saadiyat and Al Ghadeer Gardens.
Why this project
The name is the product
Podium homes carry terraces, and they are the largest in the building. Every three bedroom available now is a podium home, and the podium two bedroom runs about a thousand square feet larger than the same home upstairs.
Your view has a grade
Aldar sorts the homes by what they face: semi-water, water and garden, Coral Drive. Between six towers with varied floor plates and generous separation, the grade is the difference you feel from the sofa.
The Clubhouse is the reason to live here
Lifted above the shoreline and wrapped in water views: a gymnasium, a workout studio, an assessment area, and a spa with salt relaxation, cold plunge pools, sauna and steam rooms and treatment rooms.
A wellness programme to go with it
A wellness concierge arranges nutrition consultations, physiotherapy, sleep therapy, mindfulness coaching and body composition assessments, with community clubs for running, beach volleyball, padel and cycling.
Abu Dhabi's fee structure
Registration is 2% of the price, against 4% in Dubai, plus an admin fee from Aldar. The difference is the whole cost gap between the emirates.
A government developer
Aldar built Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, the two islands either side of this one, and it runs concept, design, sales, delivery and management itself.
Fahid Beach Terraces Location
Fahid Beach Terraces stands on a waterfront position on Fahid Island, between Saadiyat Island and Yas Island on the Abu Dhabi coast, with the beach, the waterfront promenade and Coral Drive at the door. The entertainment island is on one side, the culture island on the other, and the airport is behind both. Every zone of the island, the school and the berm are set out in our Fahid Island guide.
The island holds a Fitwel 3-Star Rating as the first Fitwel certified island globally, LEED for Cities and Communities at Platinum level, pre-certified, and an Estidama 3 Pearl Community Rating. The residential buildings are on track for LEED Gold, Estidama 3 Pearl for Buildings and a Fitwel 2-Star Rating, and the Clubhouse is naturally lit at the centre of the community.
