Hudayriyat Golf Estates Villas introduces a large-format residential concept to one of Abu Dhabi’s most ambitious emerging island destinations. Developed by Modon on Hudayriyat Island, the project combines private villas and golf mansions with an 18-hole golf environment, landscaped open space, wellness facilities, family amenities and the broader sports-led lifestyle of the island.
The latest identifies the Villas project as a separately registered component of Hudayriyat Golf Estates with 472 units. The principal collection includes five-bedroom Range Villas, six-bedroom Fairway Villas and six-bedroom Golf Mansions. The published information also lists freehold ownership, a 40/60 payment structure and an expected handover in Q3 2030, with August 2030 specified in the project FAQ.
All project information in this article reflects the latest publicly available details reviewed on 27 August 2026. Prices, availability, payment schedules and delivery timelines can change, so buyers should verify the specific unit and contractual documents before making a commitment.
A masterplan built around golf and outdoor living
Hudayriyat Golf Estates has been planned as more than a residential community positioned beside a golf course. Golf, greenery, walkability and recreation form the central structure of the development. The wider masterplan is organised around a 95-hectare golf environment, with residences overlooking fairways, landscaping and water channels.
A 2.3-kilometre green spine is designed to connect the residential areas with the clubhouse, wellness and fitness facilities, retail, leisure areas, co-working spaces and a private school. This creates a community where the landscape is part of the everyday experience, supporting walking, cycling, outdoor recreation and social interaction.
The result is a setting aimed at buyers who want the privacy and scale of a standalone villa without giving up access to organised amenities. Golf is the visual and lifestyle anchor, while the wider masterplan is intended to support family living, wellness and long-term residential use.
The villa collection
Hudayriyat Golf Estates Villas is positioned at the premium end of the wider Golf Estates development. Each collection serves a different requirement in terms of scale, price and relationship with the surrounding golf landscape.
| Residence | Bedrooms | Approximate size | Published average price |
| Range Villa | 5 | 547 sqm / 5,888 sq ft | AED 10.3 million |
| Fairway Villa | 6 | 910 sqm / 9,795 sq ft | AED 26.8 million |
| Golf Mansion | 6 | 1,150 sqm / 12,378 sq ft | AED 35.8 million |
The figures are approximate averages currently published in the project information. They are not fixed prices for every property. Plot position, orientation, outlook, built-up area, privacy, payment status and availability can materially affect the price of an individual villa.
Range Villas
The five-bedroom Range Villa offers a substantial family residence at the entry point of the project’s principal villa collection. With an approximate area of 547 square metres and a published average price of AED 10.3 million, it may suit buyers looking for a large standalone home while remaining below the scale of the Fairway Villa and Golf Mansion categories.
The value of a Range Villa will depend on the specific plot and layout. Buyers should assess the relationship between the home, landscaped areas, fairways, neighbouring residences and available outdoor space rather than relying only on the five-bedroom classification.
Fairway Villas
The six-bedroom Fairway Villa provides a significantly larger format of approximately 910 square metres, with a published average price of AED 26.8 million. Its positioning is designed for buyers who prioritise generous internal accommodation, larger outdoor areas and a stronger visual connection with the golf course.
For this category, the precise fairway outlook and privacy of the plot are particularly important. Two Fairway Villas may offer different experiences depending on their orientation, surrounding landscaping and distance from community facilities.
Golf Mansions
Golf Mansions represent the most substantial residences in the published collection. At approximately 1,150 square metres and an average published price of AED 35.8 million, they are designed for buyers seeking an estate-style home rather than a conventional villa.
The larger footprint creates scope for expansive living, entertaining and outdoor areas. However, the most important comparison remains the individual property: plot dimensions, privacy, golf outlook, access, design specifications and contractual terms should all be reviewed before purchase.
Andalusian-inspired architecture and private outdoor space
The architectural identity of Hudayriyat Golf Estates is described as Andalusian-inspired, combining Mediterranean influences with contemporary family layouts, large living areas and landscaped outdoor spaces. The approach gives the community a warmer residential character while maintaining the scale and functionality expected from modern luxury villas.
Modon also confirms garden-space provisions for the residences. This allows owners to shape their private outdoor environment, subject to the community’s design guidelines. Buyers planning landscaping, additions or other changes should review the applicable regulations before making assumptions about what can be modified.
Amenities designed for everyday use
The project’s amenity strategy extends beyond the golf course. Published information describes an 18-hole golf course, country clubhouse, wellness centre, community centre, dining and retail, multi-sports courts, cycling trails, parks, green spaces, co-working areas and a private school.
The combination of sport, wellness, education, retail and social facilities is intended to make the community functional throughout the week rather than dependent on occasional leisure visits. Modon also states that the villa, townhome and waterfront precincts are independently gated and protected by 24-hour private security.
Hudayriyat Island adds another layer to the lifestyle proposition. In the , the island is presented as a low-density destination built around villas, beachfront leisure, cycling, sports and outdoor recreation. Modon highlights wider attractions including Surf Abu Dhabi and the Velodrome, helping distinguish Golf Estates from golf communities that operate in isolation from a broader leisure destination.
The development is also described as pet-friendly, with a dedicated dog park. Modon states that the villas have a Pearl 3.0 rating in accordance with Abu Dhabi Municipality requirements.
Location and connectivity
Hudayriyat Golf Estates is located on Hudayriyat Island with road access to mainland Abu Dhabi. Modon’s published information places the project approximately 20 minutes from Downtown Abu Dhabi and around 30 minutes from Zayed International Airport, although actual journey times will vary according to traffic and route.
This location can appeal to families and professionals who want a quieter island environment while remaining within practical reach of Abu Dhabi’s business districts, schools, healthcare providers, cultural attractions and airport connections.
Freehold ownership for all nationalities
Hudayriyat Golf Estates Villas are offered on a freehold basis. Modon states that the villas and townhomes can be purchased by buyers of all nationalities, subject to the applicable requirements and documentation for the specific property.
Freehold ownership is an important consideration for both UAE-based purchasers and international buyers. It should nevertheless be verified through the sale agreement, title and official registration records. Buyers should confirm eligibility, transfer requirements and all ownership-related obligations before signing.
Payment plan and expected handover
The current published payment structure is 40/60, meaning that 40% is paid before completion and the remaining 60% is due on handover, subject to the individual contract and instalment schedule.
Modon currently lists the handover period as Q3 2030, while the project FAQ specifies August 2030. These dates should be treated as the current expected timeline, not a guarantee that replaces the delivery provisions in the sale agreement.
Before reserving a villa, buyers should review instalment dates, registration and escrow arrangements, late-payment provisions, handover conditions, cancellation terms and any rules governing resale or assignment. Modon currently states that a villa may be resold before handover once at least 20% of the total payment has been made, provided the project guidelines are followed. The specific contract remains the controlling document.
Strong launch demand, but no guaranteed return
On 7 July 2026, Modon announced that the wider Hudayriyat Golf Estates development had recorded more than AED 13 billion in sales within days of launch, representing 1,700 residences. Modon also reported that 15% of buyers were non-UAE residents and 81% were new customers to the developer.
These figures relate to the wider Golf Estates development rather than only the 472-unit Villas project. They demonstrate substantial launch interest, but sales momentum does not guarantee future price appreciation, rental income or resale liquidity.
The investment case for an individual villa should be assessed through its purchase price, plot position, golf outlook, payment obligations, completion risk, service charges, future supply, ownership costs and intended holding period. A well-positioned Fairway Villa, a private Golf Mansion and a Range Villa will each have a different buyer profile and risk-return profile.
Modon’s role in Abu Dhabi’s urban development
Modon is an Abu Dhabi-based master developer focused on residential, leisure, hospitality, business and sporting destinations. Its stated strategy centres on connected communities and large-scale urban experiences designed to contribute to Abu Dhabi’s long-term growth. More background is available on the .
For Hudayriyat Golf Estates, that broader development role is reflected in the integration of villas with golf, wellness, education, retail, sports and public realm infrastructure. The strength of the concept will ultimately depend on how the masterplan is delivered and operated over time, making the latest construction, infrastructure and handover updates important to every buyer.
Why the project stands out
Hudayriyat Golf Estates Villas offers a combination that is relatively distinctive in Abu Dhabi: large-format freehold villas, a golf-led masterplan, an active island setting and direct access to a broad range of family and wellness amenities. The 472-unit Villas project is also clearly separated from the separately registered Townhomes and Waterfront components, helping buyers compare like with like.
The project may be particularly suitable for end-users seeking a spacious long-term home, international buyers looking for freehold ownership, and investors comfortable with an off-plan delivery period. It may be less suitable for buyers who require immediate occupancy, established rental comparables or fully operational amenities today.
Conclusion
Hudayriyat Golf Estates Villas represents Modon’s premium villa offering within the wider Golf Estates masterplan on Hudayriyat Island. The collection includes Range Villas, Fairway Villas and Golf Mansions, with published average prices from approximately AED 10.3 million to AED 35.8 million and residence sizes from approximately 547 to 1,150 square metres.
Its appeal comes from the combination of golf-front views, Andalusian-inspired architecture, large private homes, freehold ownership, family infrastructure and the wider sports-led identity of Hudayriyat Island. The current published payment plan is 40/60, with an expected Q3 2030 handover and August 2030 specified in the project FAQ.
