Yas Island

Yas Island sits between Abu Dhabi city and Dubai, beside the E10 and close to Zayed International Airport. Driving times to central Abu Dhabi and to Dubai depend on traffic. There is no metro; roads and buses serve the island.

Yas Island is Abu Dhabi's leisure hub, with Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros World, SeaWorld Yas Island, Yas Marina Circuit, Yas Links golf, Yas Mall and Yas Beach. Residential communities such as Yas Acres and Yas Bay offer villas and apartments around these attractions.

Schools on Yas Island include Yas American Academy from Aldar Academies and SABIS International School Yas Island, both rated Good by ADEK, with further options in Khalifa City and Al Raha nearby. Check curricula, fees and current ADEK inspection ratings on the ADEK and TAMM school directories before deciding.

It suits families and investors wanting leisure-led living with good road links to both Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and holiday-home buyers. Aldar is the main master developer, so review its phases and handover dates. Check registered prices on DARI rather than relying on forecasts.

We currently list 7 off-plan projects in Yas Island, from developers including Reportage Properties, Aldar, Baraka Real Estate Development. Each project shows its unit types, starting figures and handover date. See other launches across the emirate on our off-plan list, and read payment plans explained before you choose.

Yas Island is widely cited as one of Abu Dhabi's investment areas where non-UAE nationals can own property. Abu Dhabi uses investment areas set by the Executive Council, and ownership can take freehold or long-lease forms, so check the ownership type and plot status on DARI before you reserve.
