Jubail Island is one of Abu Dhabi’s more interesting developments because it sits right between Saadiyat Island and Yas Island, but feels completely different from both. The project spans over 4,000 hectares, but unlike the high‑rise clusters you see elsewhere, this one is deliberately low‑density. The developer behind it is LEAD Development, the same team that did Hidd Al Saadiyat, and the masterplan was designed to work with the natural landscape rather than flattening it.
What makes Jubail Island different is the setting. The island is surrounded by kilometres of protected mangroves, which means whatever gets built here has to respect the environment. The development is divided into six residential villages—Nad Al Dhabi, Seef Al Jubail, Ain Al Maha, Souk Al Jubail, Marfaa Al Jubail, and Bada Al Jubail—each with its own character. Jubail Island features six distinct village communities, each with its own residential sections and communal services. There’s over 30 kilometres of waterfront across the island, and more than 1.2 million square metres of parks and open spaces planned. The villages located throughout the island are thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, blending urban amenities with natural surroundings. Jubail Island is positioned amid rich biodiversity, including mangroves and coastal estuaries. Its ecosystem supports a diverse range of fauna and is located in a protected natural area. Jubail Island features more than 1.2 million square meters of landscaped parks and over 100km of pedestrian pathways, providing abundant green space for residents.
The marina and waterfront areas are key highlights of the development. The 4,000 hectares of Jubail Island include more than 30 kilometers of shoreline and mangrove forests, offering residents direct access to nature and water-based activities.
The floor plans vary depending on which village you’re looking at. In the villa communities like Ain Al Maha, you’re looking at three‑ to six‑bedroom villas on plots ranging from 1,300 square metres up to 6,000 square metres. The layouts are spacious—most vill
