About Yas Island

Yas Island is one of the most ambitious entertainment developments on the planet — a purpose-built leisure island that houses Ferrari World (home to the world's fastest roller coaster), Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, and the Yas Marina Circuit where Formula 1 comes every November. What makes Yas unique is that this is not just a tourist destination — it is becoming a genuine residential community. Yas Acres offers villa and townhouse living in a lush, golf-adjacent setting, while the Yas Bay waterfront has added apartments, hotels, and a dining promenade that serves as the island's social hub. Residents enjoy a lifestyle that most people only experience on vacation: morning cycling on the F1 circuit, afternoon waterpark visits with the kids, and sunset dinners on the marina. For investors, Yas Island offers tourism-driven rental demand with growing residential infrastructure that is maturing into a year-round community.
