Al Reem Island

Al Reem Island lies just off the north-east of Abu Dhabi island, connected by several bridges to the city centre, Al Maryah Island and Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Highway. There is no metro, so most residents drive or use buses and taxis. The city centre is minutes away outside peak hours.

Al Reem is a high-rise island of apartment towers with waterfront promenades, Reem Mall, Boutik Mall and Reem Central Park. It is busy, central and popular with professionals, with Al Maryah Island's offices and The Galleria a short walk or drive across the water.

Al Reem has its own schools, including Repton School Abu Dhabi and Repton Foundation School, both rated Outstanding by ADEK, GEMS World Academy Abu Dhabi and Nord Anglia International School Abu Dhabi. Check curricula, fees and current ADEK inspection ratings on the ADEK and TAMM school directories before deciding.

It suits professionals and investors seeking central apartments with strong rental demand from city workers, and families who want schools on the island. Several developers are active, including Aldar and smaller builders, so review delivery records. Check registered prices on DARI rather than asking prices.

We currently list 7 off-plan projects in Al Reem Island, from developers including Modon, Reportage Properties, Ohana Development. Each project shows its unit types, starting figures and handover date. See other launches across the emirate on our off-plan list, and read payment plans explained before you choose.

Al Reem Island is widely cited as one of Abu Dhabi's investment areas where non-UAE nationals can own property. Abu Dhabi uses investment areas set by the Executive Council, and ownership can take freehold or long-lease forms, so check the ownership type and plot status on DARI before you reserve.
