On May 22, 2025, Aldar Properties and Hilton launched the Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas, selling out all 133 units in one day for AED 850 million (USD 231.45 million). As Yas Island’s first branded residences, these one- to three-bedroom apartments, duplexes, and four-bedroom penthouses blend Waldorf Astoria’s hospitality with Yas Island’s vibrant energy, redefining luxury living in Abu Dhabi.
The project drew 76% expatriate and international buyers (led by the UK and China) and 24% UAE nationals. With 66% under 45 and 68% first-time Aldar buyers, it shows Yas Island’s global appeal. Located near Yas Marina Circuit and Yas Links Golf Course, residents are steps from Ferrari World, SeaWorld, Yas Mall, and the upcoming Disneyland.
Designed by Nordic Office Architects with KZ Design Services interiors, the residences feature biophilic design and floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the gulf, golf course, or marina. Amenities include a 24/7 concierge, Peacock Alley-inspired lounge, spa, fitness center, pool, kids’ club, simulator room, games room, and private cinema.
Aiming for a 3 Pearl Estidama rating and 2 Star Fitwel certification, the project uses low-carbon materials, cutting emissions by 25%. It’s 35% more energy-efficient and 45% more water-efficient, blending luxury with eco-conscious design.
Yas Island’s attractions, from Warner Bros. World to Etihad Arena and the upcoming Disneyland, make it a lifestyle hub. With schools, healthcare, and entertainment, it’s ideal for families and investors alike.
The sell-out, with 68% new buyers, highlights Aldar’s growing reach and Abu Dhabi’s rise as a luxury real estate hub. The Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas sets a new standard for branded living, making Yas Island a global destination.
