Developed by IMKAN Properties, Nudra is a premium residential project located on Saadiyat Island, one of Abu Dhabi’s most sought-after addresses. The project comprises 32 shell-and-core villas and 5 residential plots, allowing homeowners the flexibility to design their interiors. The community features two main villa types—The Dunes and The Beach—and includes a third segment known as The Shores for land plots.
The Dunes villas range from 852 to 855 sq. m. and are divided into Dunes 1 and Dunes 2. The Beach villas span 1,262 sq. m. and offer lush landscaping with uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf. All units are delivered as shell and core, granting owners complete freedom to customise floor plans, finishes, and fittings.
The Shores offers residential land plots where homeowners can either create their own designs or use bespoke villa templates provided for the plots. Nudra is one of the few communities in Abu Dhabi that offers this level of flexibility combined with beachfront living.
Its prime location within the Saadiyat Cultural District makes it highly attractive for art lovers, families, and professionals. Though rental options are currently unavailable, Nudra appeals to end-users and investors who value cultural proximity, privacy, and design autonomy.
