The United Arab Emirates has long been known for pushing boundaries in real estate, from record-breaking towers to artificial archipelagos. Now, the country is moving into a new frontier: wellness-focused islands, designed to position the UAE as a global leader in health, longevity, and sustainable living.
Developer Aldar has announced plans for Fahid Island, Abu Dhabi’s first coastal wellness destination, with a development value of more than AED 40 billion (USD 10.8 billion).
Location: Between Saadiyat Island and Yas Island.
Features: 11 km of coastline, expansive green space, luxury residences, wellness resorts, and community facilities.
Vision: A master-planned community where wellness and sustainability are built into the urban design.
In partnership with IMKAN Properties, global wellness brand SHA is developing the world’s first island dedicated entirely to longevity and wellness.
Location: Al Jurf, between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Timeline: First phase expected by 2027.
Features: SHA residences (apartments, villas, beachfront homes) integrating wellness design — circadian lighting, air purification, organic materials.
Positioning: A health-centric lifestyle destination blending medical science, nutrition, and holistic wellbeing.
Globally, wellness real estate has become a multi-billion-dollar trend, with buyers demanding more than just a luxury property. They want homes that actively support health, wellbeing, and sustainability.
The UAE’s move to create wellness islands fits this shift perfectly, offering:
Global Branding — positioning the UAE as a health and longevity capital.
Destination Appeal — blending tourism, lifestyle, and medical wellness.
Premium Investment Value — wellness-first properties can command higher prices and attract UHNW buyers.
Sustainability Credentials — green design, natural environments, and long-term ecological planning.
For investors and developers, these projects represent both opportunity and responsibility:
1. Capital Appreciation: Islands marketed on wellness and exclusivity are likely to achieve above-average growth, especially in the early stages.
2. Rental & Tourism Demand: With medical and wellness tourism growing, short-stay and serviced residences could see strong occupancy.
3. Reputation & Execution Risk: Delivering on wellness promises will be critical. If air systems, circadian lighting, or holistic programs are poorly executed, the “wellness” brand could lose credibility.
4. Sustainability Pressure: Environmental scrutiny is high on island projects. Success will depend on genuine commitments to marine and ecological protection.
5. Regional Positioning: Between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, these islands create a new corridor of ultra-luxury living that strengthens the UAE’s appeal to global elites.
At International Property Alerts (IPA), we see these wellness islands as more than just real estate projects. They are strategic signals of where the global property market is heading:
From luxury to longevity
From skyline icons to lifestyle ecosystems
From ownership to holistic experience
For lifestyle buyers, they offer a chance to live in a community designed around wellbeing. For investors, they represent early entry into a niche set to expand worldwide.
The UAE has redefined luxury before — now it’s redefining healthy living through real estate. With Fahid Island and SHA Emirates Wellness Island, the country is building not just homes, but a vision of the future where property investment and wellness converge.
