Yas Riva

Yas Riva is a luxury villa community of 151 homes on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, developed by Aldar Properties. The project offers 4–6 bedroom canal-front and canal-accessible villas with interiors designed by 1508 London. It is one of the few residential projects in Abu Dhabi to offer direct canal access with private docks.

Villas at Yas Riva are priced from AED 8,600,000. The community offers 4, 5, and 6 bedroom configurations ranging in size from approximately 5,177 to 6,792 sq. ft. Canal-front units with private docks are among the premium options within this range.

Yas Riva is offered on a 50/50 payment plan, with 50% paid during construction and the remaining 50% on handover. This structure gives buyers flexibility while keeping exposure manageable through the build period. Handover is scheduled for Q3 2028.

Yas Riva is scheduled for handover in Q3 2028. The project is currently off-plan and being developed by Aldar Properties, one of Abu Dhabi's largest and most reputable real estate developers. Buyers can track construction milestones as part of the purchase process.

The community also includes two padel courts, a cycling track, a clubhouse, an amphitheatre, F&B outlets, and three landscaped parks with outdoor fitness areas, table tennis, picnic spaces, and an obstacle course.
