Yas Riva by Aldar Properties

Yas Riva is an upscale villa community by Aldar Properties on Yas Island that offers a selection of 151 both canal-front and canal-accessible homes in 4-6 bedroom configurations. The residences will feature two distinct exterior designs and interiors curated by 1058 London.

The project is distinguished as one of Abu Dhabi’s rare residential projects with direct canal access. Each canal-front villa will boast a private dock, providing residents with the opportunity to explore the serene waterways by boat.

The total area of the properties ranges from 5,177 sq. ft to 6,792 sq. ft on average. The layouts will include a swimming pool, a terrace, a maid’s room, a garage, and a driver’s room. Homeowners at Yas Riva can also choose to customize an outdoor pod that can be tailored to serve different purposes, such as a gym, office, extra living space, or majlis.

Residents of Yas Riva will have exclusive access to a health and wellness center set along the water’s edge. This facility will house a dedicated spa, a well-equipped gym, swimming pools, and a sunken firepit.

Additionally, the community will offer F&B, a cycling track, a clubhouse, beautifully landscaped gardens and 3 parks equipped with a variety of amenities: table tennis, 2 padel courts, outdoor fitness areas, an amphitheater, social and picnic spaces, and an obstacle course. Children at Yas Riva will be able to have fun at engaging play areas, a splash pad, climbing structures, and water play channels.

Yas Riva will be conveniently located next to Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street, offering easy commutes around the island and throughout Abu Dhabi. Zayed International Airport is about a 15-minute drive away, while the center of the emirate is approximately 25 minutes by car. The nearby Al Maha St / Gateway Park North 2 bus stop provides a reliable public transportation option for navigating the city.

Residents will also enjoy quick access to major attractions on Yas Island, all within a 10-minute drive. These include SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Mall, Etihad Arena, and Yas Links Abu Dhabi. Additionally, several essential social facilities are similarly close by, including Carrefour Market, Blossom Nursery — Yas Waters Edge, West Yas Academy, and IKEA Abu Dhabi, all contributing to a comfortable and convenient living environment.

According to Bayut, the average ROI on the island for luxury villas is nearly 7%. The initial rental cost stands at AED 209K (USD 57K) per annum. By the time Yas Riva is completed, these indicators will no doubt increase, ensuring investors generate a lucrative rental income.
