Located within Jubail Island’s Community, Rimas is set among mangrove preserves, waterfront paths and open green space. An elevated promenade traces the shoreline, alongside a resort-style pool, beachfront gym and wellbeing centre. A community beach, kayak station, sports courts, and walking, running and cycling routes round out the outdoor offering.
Mounir Haidar, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Lead Development, said, “Rimas reflects our vision for community living in Abu Dhabi — places where the quality of the environment, the richness of everyday life and the strength of the community come together. Its debut at LIVEX reflects the confidence in Abu Dhabi’s real estate market and its ambitious vision to become one of the world’s most liveable cities, and we’re proud to be part of that journey.
“At Lead, we go beyond building luxury residences — we curate communities designed around how people want to live, where nature and wellbeing are part of everyday life, and families can unwind, connect and belong.”
Rimas arrives as Jubail Island enters a more established phase, with more than 1,000 homes already handed over across its six villages. Community centres and amenities are now open to residents in Nad Al Dhabi, Seef Al Jubail and Jubail Terraces, alongside a widening choice of places to live, gather, dine, shop, learn and unwind. Located between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, Rimas is around 20 minutes away from Zayed International Airport and Downtown Abu Dhabi.
Education is also expanding on the island, with a nursery now open and a school set to follow. Beyond the neighbourhoods, Marsa Al Jubail adds a marina and yacht club, while Abu Dhabi Royal Equestrian Arts brings equestrian, cultural and dining experiences to the island. Souk Al Jubail adds a new social dimension to the island, gathering a mix of dining, beauty and wellness outlets.
