Hudayriyat Island is entering another important stage in its residential transformation with Wadeem Gardens, a new villa community by Modon designed around spacious homes, gated neighbourhoods and everyday family life.
Wadeem Gardens introduces 4, 5 and 6-bedroom villas across three gated clusters, with Contemporary Arabic and Modernist architectural styles. The wider district is planned around schools, healthcare, retail, dining, leisure facilities and a waterfront promenade, making it much more than a standalone collection of villas.
For buyers following the island’s development, Ayman Sadieh’s Hudayriyat Island Abu Dhabi guide provides useful context on how the destination is evolving and the residential communities emerging across it.
A New Residential Chapter for Hudayriyat Island
Wadeem Gardens has been planned around a simple idea: a home should be part of a complete neighbourhood, not separated from the services and experiences people use every day. The development consists of three gated villa clusters. Modon is offering a choice between Contemporary Arabic and Modernist façades, along with varied layouts intended to give homeowners greater choice in the look and configuration of their homes.
This creates a noticeably different proposition from developments where every villa follows almost the same design language. Wadeem Gardens is therefore positioned around individuality within a consistent master-planned environment.
Large Villas with Generous Plot Sizes
Space is one of the strongest features of Wadeem Gardens. The project starts with 4-bedroom villas offering approximately 430 sqm of unit area on plots of around 532 sqm. Five-bedroom villas increase to approximately 510 sqm with plots of around 630 sqm. The largest 6-bedroom villas provide approximately 591 sqm of unit area and plots reaching around 720 sqm. Starting prices shown in Modon’s project factsheet are:
4-bedroom villas from AED 8.7 million
5-bedroom villas from AED 10.2 million
6-bedroom villas from AED 11.6 million
These are starting prices and availability may change depending on villa type, location and release. For buyers comparing Wadeem Gardens with other premium communities on the island, Ayman Sadieh’s guide to Nawayef West by Modon offers another useful point of comparison within Hudayriyat.
Two Architectural Styles, One Community Vision
One of the more appealing elements of Wadeem Gardens is that buyers are not limited to one architectural identity. Contemporary Arabic façades introduce a regional character, while the Modernist option brings cleaner forms and a more contemporary visual language. The varied layouts also allow buyers to consider more than bedroom count alone.
For families purchasing a long-term home, the way bedrooms, living areas, private spaces and outdoor areas are arranged can influence everyday comfort just as much as the overall size of the property. That flexibility gives Wadeem Gardens a stronger end-user focus.
A Community Designed Around Daily Life
The masterplan extends well beyond the villas themselves. According to Modon’s factsheet, Wadeem Gardens is planned around a 2.3 km spine and will include six clubhouses, healthcare centres, an office park, an arena, retail and dining destinations, two international schools, cinemas and a waterfront promenade. For families, this is one of the most important aspects of the project. Schools, healthcare, recreation, shopping and dining are intended to become part of the neighbourhood itself rather than services residents need to travel long distances to access. That helps explain why Wadeem Gardens feels more like a complete residential district than a conventional gated villa compound.
A Location Connected to Key Abu Dhabi Destinations
Hudayriyat Island combines residential privacy with access to major parts of Abu Dhabi.
Modon’s Wadeem Gardens factsheet lists approximate journey times of:
20 minutes to Zayed International Airport
23 minutes to Abu Dhabi Global Market
25 minutes to Louvre Abu Dhabi
Actual travel times will vary depending on traffic and final road access, but the location places residents within practical reach of both central Abu Dhabi and major business and cultural destinations.
The 25/75 Payment Plan
Wadeem Gardens also comes with a relatively back-loaded payment structure. The announced plan is 25% / 75%, with the first 25% divided across several instalments:
5% on reservation
5% in June 2027
5% in December 2027
5% in June 2028
5% in October 2030
75% in April 2031
The project factsheet states that the structure is subject to off-plan mortgage approval. It also notes that UAE nationals will receive a 5% rebate from Modon. The rebate is non-transferable and subject to terms and conditions. For some buyers, the smaller proportion required during the earlier stages of the project may be an important consideration when comparing Wadeem Gardens with other off-plan villa communities.
Wadeem Gardens Within Modon’s Wider Hudayriyat Strategy
Wadeem Gardens is not arriving in isolation. Modon has been steadily expanding the residential offering across Hudayriyat Island through different villa, apartment and land concepts. That matters because buyers are no longer simply deciding whether they want to live on Hudayriyat. They can now compare several different types of communities within the island itself. Wadeem Gardens stands out for its emphasis on large family villas, gated clusters and integrated everyday amenities.

Who Will Wadeem Gardens Appeal To?
Wadeem Gardens is likely to appeal most strongly to families looking for substantial living space within a planned residential environment. Even the 4-bedroom configuration starts at approximately 430 sqm, while the 6-bedroom villas reach around 591 sqm. Plot sizes extend up to approximately 720 sqm. The planned schools, healthcare, clubhouses, retail, dining and recreation also strengthen the project’s appeal for long-term residents. For investors, the development provides another way to participate in Hudayriyat Island’s residential growth through developer-built villas rather than land plots. The right option will depend on budget, preferred villa size, payment strategy and whether the property is being considered primarily for personal use or investment.
A Project Built Around More Than the Home
The strongest idea behind Wadeem Gardens is not simply the scale of the villas.
It is the combination of private residential space with a neighbourhood designed to support daily life. Large plots, architectural choice, gated clusters, schools, healthcare, leisure and waterfront experiences are all being brought together within the same development. For buyers already considering Hudayriyat Island, Wadeem Gardens adds a new family-focused option to a destination that continues to expand its residential identity.
Wadeem Gardens is a new villa community by Modon on Hudayriyat Island, Abu Dhabi, offering 4, 5 and 6-bedroom villas across three gated clusters.
Starting prices are AED 8.7 million for 4-bedroom villas, AED 10.2 million for 5-bedroom villas and AED 11.6 million for 6-bedroom villas.
The announced plan is 25% / 75%, with 25% paid through staged instalments and the remaining 75% scheduled for April 2031.
The community is planned to include six clubhouses, two international schools, healthcare centres, retail and dining, cinemas, an office park, an arena and a waterfront promenade. Buyers can also explore current Hudayriyat Island properties with NAS Luxury Real Estate.
