Area guide

Living in Al Reem Island

Al Reem Island sits beside downtown Abu Dhabi and is one of the capital's most established high-rise districts. It is a connected, urban place to live, with towers, waterfront promenades and a walkable core.

It suits young professionals, couples and investors who want to be close to work and city life, and who prefer apartments to villas. Some newer projects also offer townhouses.

Schools and everyday needs

Daily life is convenient. Reem Mall provides supermarkets, shops and dining, and clinics and services are spread across the island. Nurseries and schools are located on and near the island, so check the exact catchment for your family.

Beaches, parks and leisure

Al Reem has landscaped parks, waterfront walkways, sports facilities and cafes, and residents can reach other parts of the city's coast and beaches within a short drive. It offers an urban rhythm rather than a resort one.

Getting around

The island is linked to downtown Abu Dhabi by bridges and is typically a short drive from the city centre, depending on traffic at peak hours. Saadiyat and Yas are reachable by road for weekend plans.
