Yas Island is Aldar's flagship leisure-led community in Abu Dhabi, anchored by the Yas Marina Circuit, Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, Yas Waterworld and Yas Mall. Residential districts such as Yas Acres, Yas Beach Residences and The Sustainable City sit alongside hotels that keep short-stay demand strong around race weekends and school holidays. Apartments typically launch from AED 1M and waterfront villas run well above AED 8M, with yields around 6–7% on apartment stock. The island's appeal is that entertainment infrastructure is already delivered rather than promised. Buyers should distinguish between leasehold and freehold plots and confirm short-term-rental permissions with the developer before underwriting holiday-let income.
Yas Island has 16 projects in our live inventory from developers including Baraka Real Estate Development, Nine Yards Real Estate Development, Reportage Properties, ALDAR, Advanced Properties, with entry pricing from AED 1.6M.
