Why investors look at Yas Island

Yas Island is Abu Dhabi's leisure island, where the theme parks, the Formula 1 circuit and the arenas bring visitors all year. Miral and The Walt Disney Company announced a Disney theme park resort here in May 2025. Most homes for sale are launches paid on a plan, beside finished communities such as West Yas, Ansam and Waters Edge.

Four theme parks

Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, SeaWorld and Yas Waterworld.

Formula 1 every year

Yas Marina Circuit hosts the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Low booking on launches

Yas Park Place, the Yas Riva villas and STELLAR ask 5% on booking.

Visa and ownership

Any nationality can own here, and villas and larger homes clear the AED 2 million visa line.

Investing on Yas is a choice between two kinds of home. The apartment communities, from Yas Golf Collection to Waters Edge and Yas Bay, are the entry point and the easier home to let. The villa and townhouse communities, from Yas Acres to Yas Riva and West Yas, cost more and suit buyers who want space or a long hold.

Read more about Yas IslandShow less

West Yas is the island's finished villa community: 1,014 four and five bedroom villas that Aldar completed in 2018, with villa plots recorded in its listing and no service fees for villa owners. Our West Yas villas and plots page has the layouts and sizes.

For the lifestyle side of the island, from the parks to the beaches, read our article on Yas Island properties and lifestyle.

Yas Island apartment prices, 2024 to 2026

The sale price per square foot of apartments on Yas Island, from the regulator's own market reports (ADREC). ADREC publishes AED per square metre; we divide by 10.764 to show the square foot figure our listings use. Each row names its edition and page.

What it shows: the average apartment sale on Yas rose from AED 19,000 per square metre in 2025 to 25,000 in the first half of 2026, and the highest sale moved further from the average, so one average says little about one home. Prices move in both directions; these are past sales, not a forecast.

The case for investing on Yas

  1. May 2025

    A Disney resort is coming

    Miral and The Walt Disney Company announced a Disney theme park resort on Yas Island.

  2. 5%

    Low booking amounts

    Yas Park Place, the Yas Riva villas and STELLAR ask 5% on booking, with most of the price due later.

  3. 10 min

    Close to the airport

    Zayed International Airport is about 10 minutes away by car, and Dubai Marina about 50.

  4. 1,014

    A finished villa community

    West Yas has 1,014 four and five bedroom villas, completed in 2018, with no service fees for villa owners.

Things to weigh

  • Many launches hand over between 2027 and 2030, so resale homes will compete with new supply.
  • The Disney resort has no public opening date yet; do not price a home on it.
  • Villa prices on Yas run far above apartment prices, so returns differ a lot between the two.
  • Launch plans commit money for years before handover; map the dates against your cash flow.

Who Yas suits

Villa and plot buyers

West Yas villas, finished since 2018, and villa plots in Aldar's listing.

How we help you buy a ready apartment on Yas Island

What our Yas advisors do between your first call and the keys.

Find the ready stock

Finished apartments at Waters Edge, Ansam, Mayan and the island's other built communities, matched to your budget and move-in date.

Check the title and the service charges

We confirm the seller and the title on the Abu Dhabi register, the service charge rate and any unpaid balance before you sign the MOU.

Transfer at the Abu Dhabi register

We prepare the sale papers and the DARI registration and stand with you until the title deed is in your name; budget the 2% registration fee.

Viewings on your schedule

Same-week viewings of the shortlisted homes, in person or on a video call if you are abroad, with the price per square foot ready for each one.

Talk to a Yas advisor

Investing on Yas, step by step

  1. Decide the goal

    Rental income points to apartments; space and a long hold point to villas.

  2. Work out the cash

    Run a launch price through the calculator before you compare plans.

  3. Compare the plans

    Match the booking and construction instalments to your cash flow.

  4. Reserve

    Book a launch with its first instalment; for a resale, an MOU and a deposit hold the home.

  5. Register on DARI

    DARI records the sale in your name; budget 2% of the price for the fee.

  6. Let or move in

    Resale homes can be let straight away; launches after handover.

Papers to have ready

  • Passport
  • Emirates ID for UAE residents

Frequently asked questions

Is Yas Island a good place to invest in property?

Yas has year-round visitors from its theme parks and the Formula 1 race, a Disney resort announced in May 2025 and launches with 5% booking plans. Weigh that against the new supply due by 2030 and the gap between apartment and villa prices.

How much does it cost to invest on Yas Island?

Launches in sales start from AED 1,250,000 at Novayas and AED 1,390,000 at Yas Park Place, and villas from AED 8,300,000 at Yas Riva. The live table on this page shows what the resale homes we list cost today.

Are there plots for sale in West Yas?

Aldar's listing for West Yas records villa plots alongside the 1,014 completed villas. Availability is resale only and changes often, so ask us for what is on the market this week.

What is West Yas?

Aldar's completed villa community on Yas Island, launched in September 2015 and finished in 2018: 1,014 four and five bedroom villas of 488 to 580 sqm, with no service fees payable by villa owners.

Which Yas launches have the lowest booking amount?

Yas Park Place and the Yas Riva villas are on 5/45/50 plans and STELLAR by Elie Saab on 5/35/60, so 5% secures the home at booking.

When will Disneyland Abu Dhabi open?

Miral and The Walt Disney Company announced the Disney theme park resort on Yas Island in May 2025. No opening date has been published yet.

Can foreigners buy property on Yas Island?

Yes. Yas Island is an investment zone open to every nationality, whether you want an apartment at Yas Bay or a villa in West Yas.

How far is Yas Island from the airport and downtown?

About 10 minutes by car to Zayed International Airport, 25 to 30 minutes to downtown Abu Dhabi and about 50 minutes to Dubai Marina.

Does a Yas Island home qualify for the Golden Visa?

Yes, from AED 2,000,000. On Yas that price covers larger apartments, townhouses and villas, and it is the level at which a purchase can back a 10 year Golden Visa application.

Should I invest in a Yas apartment or a villa?

Apartments cost less and are easier to let; villas cost more and suit families and long holds. The budget finder on this page shows what each band buys today.

Are there ready apartments for sale on Yas Island?

Yes. The ready apartments section on this page shows the finished apartments we list on Yas Island today, in built communities such as Waters Edge, Ansam and Mayan, with a link to every ready apartment on the island. Most apartments for sale on Yas are still launches with handover between 2027 and 2030, so the ready list is shorter and moves quickly.

How have apartment prices on Yas Island changed?

ADREC's market reports put the average apartment sale on Yas Island at AED 19,000 per square metre in 2025, about AED 1,770 per square foot, and at AED 25,000 per square metre in the first half of 2026, about AED 2,320 per square foot: about 32% higher. The 2024 and H1 2025 editions published a range of AED 9,000 to 24,000 per square metre instead of an average. Prices move in both directions; these are past sales, not a forecast.

What does a ready apartment on Yas Island cost per square foot?

ADREC's H1 2026 snapshot by project puts the average sale at Waters Edge and Ansam Phase 1 at AED 22,000 per square metre, about AED 2,040 per square foot, and at Mayan at AED 28,000, about AED 2,600. Every home in our ready apartments section shows its asking price and size, so you can work out its own price per square foot before a viewing.
