About Nareel Island

Nareel Island is a waterfront villa community developed by Aldar Properties, situated off the coast of Al Bateen in Abu Dhabi. This exclusive development offers a limited number of upscale villa plots tailored for UAE nationals. The plots are sold with bespoke design guidelines that maintain a cohesive aesthetic across the development.

The community is organized into two islands: North Island and South Island. While the North Island is relatively smaller, both islands are designed to support a luxurious lifestyle, offering private beaches, community green spaces, and driveways that allow easy internal navigation. Outdoor facilities like children's pools, open parks, and fitness areas are part of the master plan.

Spanning an area of over 444,000 sq. m., Nareel Island is divided into five groups of plots based on size and location. Some plots offer full or partial sea views, while a select few are exclusive corner plots with complete waterfront access. Waterfront plots also provide private berths with direct marina access.

As a future-proof destination, Nareel Island is envisioned to become a comprehensive residential and leisure zone. While residential villa plots are the central component, planned amenities include a yacht club, spa, community mosque, and future retail and dining venues. With a location close to Emirates Palace, Corniche, and Al Ras Al Akhdar, it offers convenience without compromising exclusivity.
