Contemporary towers with floor-to-ceiling windows, resort-style pools, and fully equipped gyms mean the standard of living here competes with the best residential addresses in the UAE.

Family-Friendly Community

Top international schools, dedicated children's parks, and pet-friendly spaces make the island one of the most practical and liveable family addresses in the capital.

Well Connected to the Capital

Two bridge connections put the Corniche, Al Maryah Island's business and retail hub, and Abu Dhabi city centre within minutes, without the congestion of living downtown.

Multicultural Urban Lifestyle

A diverse international community, an expanding dining scene, canal-side cafes, and a growing retail offering create a vibrant urban atmosphere that evolves with its residents.

Top Locations to Rent Apartments in Al Reem Island

Shams Abu Dhabi

Shams Abu Dhabi serves as the island's central hub and accounts for the highest number of active rental listings on the market. The district is defined by landmark towers including The Gate Towers, Sky Tower, Sun and Sky Towers, Beach Towers, The Bridges, and Meera, each offering a range of studios through to three-bedroom apartments. Studios in Shams Abu Dhabi start from approximately AED 70,000 per year, one-bedroom apartments from around AED 90,000, and two-bedroom units from AED 110,000.

It suits young professionals, couples, and families who want the island's most complete lifestyle offering in a single neighbourhood.

City of Lights

City of Lights is the second most active sub-community on the island by listing volume and offers strong value relative to Shams Abu Dhabi. Key buildings include Hydra Avenue Towers and Radiant Square, where studios start from approximately AED 60,000 per year and one-bedroom apartments from AED 85,000. Units in this district tend to be generously sized, with many two-bedroom apartments exceeding 1,000 sq ft.
