Noya

Noya occupies the north side of Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, within reach of the island's main road networks and its retail, leisure and beach amenities. The Noya Luma villas were built directly beside the first Noya phase and Noya Viva, so the three releases together form one continuous masterplan rather than separate pockets.

Noya was developed by Aldar Properties, whose Yas Island residential portfolio also includes Yas Acres, Water's Edge, Lea, Ansam and Mayan. Aldar Academies, part of the same group, is the named operator of Noya British Academy, the British curriculum school planned within the community at The Village.

The masterplan combines two and three bedroom townhouses and four bedroom villas from the first two phases with standalone three, four and five bedroom villas at Noya Luma. Each Noya Viva home was designed with its own dedicated outdoor space, and the Noya Luma villas sit on larger average plots than their phase two counterparts.

Yes. Noya sits in an investment zone, so homes were sold on a freehold basis to buyers of all nationalities. Aldar reported buyers from 33 countries at Noya Viva and 24 countries at Noya Luma, with UAE nationals taking 61 per cent and 50 per cent of the homes in those two phases respectively.

Prices at Noya Viva started from AED 1,650,000 when the phase launched in April 2021. At Noya Luma, three bedroom villas started from AED 2,410,000, four bedroom villas from AED 2,770,000 and five bedroom villas from AED 3,270,000. All three phases sold out, so pricing today is set by the resale market.

Construction of Noya Viva began in the fourth quarter of 2021, with handovers expected to commence in the first quarter of 2024. Noya Luma broke ground in November 2021, with handovers expected from February 2024. The first Noya phase launched in the fourth quarter of 2020, ahead of both later phases.

Daily life centres on The Village, planned with shops and cafes, sports and fitness facilities, health and wellbeing provision, a mosque and a library. Residents also have community gardens and recreational facilities on their doorstep, and Noya British Academy, run by Aldar Academies, brings a British curriculum school inside the community itself.

Noya has a strong demand record: the first phase sold out in four hours, Noya Viva in less than 48 hours and Noya Luma in four hours, together generating more than AED 2.5 billion in sales in six months. With all three phases sold out and handovers scheduled from 2024, it offers a settled community rather than an off plan wait.
