Masterplan and Amenities
Nawayef is a neighborhood of two public hills with a valley between them on Hudayriyat Island. Villas and mansions ring the hills, the Nawayef Village townhouses and Nawayef Park Views apartments fill the valley, and a third hill, Nawayef South, is still missing from every plan Modon has published.
As of Nov 12, 2026 Modon's published plans show Nawayef as two hills and a valley; the third hill, Nawayef South, appears on none of them. From the air, as in the closing shot of Modon's east hill film, each hill is a set of streets ringing a planted summit, with the largest houses at the top.

How a hill is laid out
The brochures sort the homes by height. Homes, the 4 and 5-bedroom villas, take the lower streets on plots of roughly 450 to 700 sq m. Heights villas sit above them on plots of about 1,000 to 2,400 sq m. The Mansions, which Modon's brochure places "on the highest tiers", have plots of 2,000 to 3,300 sq m. Modon's first hill film shows one of the contour streets, flat-roofed villas on the uphill side and planting on the slope below.
By our reading of those plot sizes, one Mansion plot takes the land of about five Homes. That is why a hill of this kind holds few houses: Modon's contract release counts 735 villas on the two hills together, an average of about 368 a hill, fewer than the 378 townhouses of Nawayef Village alone.
The valley: Nawayef Village and Nawayef Park Views
Between the hills Modon sold two denser communities, and both are sources for how a Nawayef launch goes.
Nawayef Park Views came first, on Dec 10, 2024, as the island's first freehold apartments: low-rise blocks of one to four bedrooms from AED 2 million, set between the two hills and overlooking a park, with a padel court, a lap pool, a gym and children's pools. Modon's island page lists its handover as the first quarter of 2028.
Nawayef Village followed on May 6, 2025: 378 freehold homes, three and four-bedroom townhouses and five-bedroom twin villas, in a style Modon ties to Tuscany. Two days later Modon announced that all 378 had sold on launch day for about AED 2 billion. That works out at an average of about AED 5.3 million a home, our division. Its handover is listed for the first quarter of 2029.
Amenities inside Nawayef
The type brochures list five amenities for the Nawayef hills: beach access, playgrounds, a mosque, a clubhouse with a gym, spa and pool, and pedestrian paths and cycle routes. Modon's Nawayef East page adds a jogging trail, a tennis court and parkland. Shops and restaurants are placed in the valley; the Park Views release speaks of a shopping village beside the apartments.
Where a third hill could go
Modon has not shown it. The 2023 masterplan release spoke of homes on and around two hill communities, so a third hill is either a later addition to the plan or a part of it that was never named. We think South will be drawn next to the existing pair and share their valley and clubhouse, because a hill on its own would need a second set of everything; the name, which continues West and East, points the same way.
