Brabus Island Chapter Two: Island Residences on Al Raha Beach, Abu Dhabi
Brabus Island Chapter Two is a residential development by Cosmo Developments, occupying a dedicated island within the Al Raha Beach district of Abu Dhabi. The "Chapter Two" designation marks this as a second phase of an existing island development. The concept and the address are already established. Buyers entering now are joining a continuation, not an untested first release.
A Dedicated Island in Al Raha Beach
Al Raha Beach sits along Abu Dhabi's coastline between the main island and Abu Dhabi International Airport, with road connections to Yas Island to the south and Khalifa City inland. Brabus Island occupies its own land mass within this district, separated from the surrounding waterfront by water on all sides.
That boundary matters for daily life. An island location keeps through-traffic out and limits the density that builds up around connected waterfront communities. The road link still connects residents to the wider Al Raha Beach network and from there to the rest of Abu Dhabi. For buyers comparing waterfront addresses in the capital, the island configuration offers a level of separation that mainland waterfront developments cannot replicate. The proximity to Abu Dhabi International Airport is a practical factor for frequent travellers.
AED 14.1M to AED 28.1M: Reading the Spread
The price band runs from AED 14.1 million to AED 28.1 million. That is nearly a 2x range. The three property types explain most of it.
Townhouses sit at the lower end. They deliver the island address, water access, and full community amenities without the land cost and upkeep of a standalone villa. Villas step up from there, with plot position, size, and waterfront orientation driving the difference between units. Penthouses occupy the top of the range and offer elevated single-level floor plans in a development where total land area is fixed, keeping penthouse supply constrained by geography.
The width of the range signals that this is not a single-format development. The AED 14.1M entry places the project firmly in the premium segment.
Penthouse, Villa, or Townhouse: The Buyer Each Format Suits
Townhouses work for buyers who want island community living without full villa management. They suit investors targeting rental income or families using the home on a seasonal basis. Villas are for buyers who need private gardens, enclosed outdoor space, and the flexibility to shape their home environment over the long term. Penthouses serve a narrower profile: buyers who want elevated water views and a reduced-footprint single-level plan, and who do not need private ground space.
Amenities Centred on the Water
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Water & Marine | Beach Access, Private Marina Berths, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Fitness & Family | Gymnasium, Children's Play Area |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens |
| Practical | Basement Parking |
Private marina berths are the most distinctive amenity in this set. Their inclusion signals that the development is targeting buyers who own or plan to own watercraft. Beach access and an indoor pool extend the water-use proposition beyond boating. The indoor pool covers year-round swimming, which matters in Abu Dhabi where outdoor pool use drops significantly during summer months. The children's play area and landscaped gardens point to resident families as the core buyer rather than a purely investment-oriented community. The amenity list as a whole positions this as a water-active community rather than a passive waterfront address.
Construction Under Way. Handover Targeted for June 2029.
Construction began in September 2025. The project targets completion by June 2029, a build period of roughly four years. Buyers entering today are committing approximately three years ahead of handover.
That is a meaningful time horizon for off-plan buyers. Island developments involve groundwork and marine infrastructure that add complexity beyond standard residential builds. Buyers who enter now are securing their position well ahead of delivery, taking on the timeline that island development requires.
