About Al Raha Gardens

Al Raha Gardens is one of Aldar Properties’ standout residential developments in Abu Dhabi, offering a well-balanced lifestyle for families seeking a peaceful retreat with modern conveniences. Strategically located near Khalifa City A and facing Al Raha Beach, the community features Arabian-inspired villas and townhouses in a secure, suburban environment.

Launched as a tranquil family enclave, the development comprises 11 sub-communities, each with its own distinct layout and housing configurations. These sub-areas include Muzera, Al Mariah, Samra, Sidra, Yasmina, Qattouf, Khannour, Hemaim, Al Tharwaniyah, Lehwieh and Al Ward. Homes are equipped with modern facilities such as wide terraces, gardens, pools, and parking for multiple vehicles.

Villas in Al Raha Gardens typically range from 3 to 5 bedrooms, with configurations designed to accommodate both nuclear and extended families. Some units feature separate maid and driver rooms. While exact completion dates aren’t provided, the community has matured into a well-established area with a strong residential presence.

The development supports everyday convenience by housing Gardens Plaza, its own community mall, as well as international schools, fitness centres, salons, and quick access to healthcare. Its location near Yas Island and major highways makes commuting simple, while its internal amenities reduce the need for residents to travel far for essentials.
