Al Maryah Island Prices Jump +133% in One Quarter — Here's Why
April 2026 · 5 min read · Source: ADREC government data (103,236 verified transactions)
Al Maryah Island recorded the strongest QoQ price/sqm growth in Q1 2026 at +132.9%, with YoY at +48.0% across 180 verified transactions. Al Saadiyat Island followed with +38.6% QoQ (+35.2% YoY across 690 deals). Both are concentrated-luxury districts where a handful of premium handovers can shift the median dramatically — but the trend is real: island districts are decoupling from the broader market, commanding AED 40,000-42,000 per sqm vs the Abu Dhabi average of AED 15,800.
Yas Island prices also rose +26.2% QoQ on 1,716 deals, suggesting this isn't just noise from thin data.
