About Yas Riva Reserve by Aldar

Canal-front villa with an infinity-edge pool at Yas Riva Reserve, Yas Island

Yas Riva Reserve is Aldar's newest gated villa address on Yas Island, set on the island's calmer north-east shore beside Yas Acres. The collection comprises 292 homes: 247 inland villas framed by parks and landscaped streets, and 45 waterfront villas that open straight onto the canal, each with the option of a private pontoon.

A dedicated bridge links the community to the rest of the island, putting Yas Marina Circuit, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Mall and the island's beaches and golf within a short drive, while everyday life inside the gates is shaped around a clubhouse, three green parks and an amenity plan built on four themes: Move, Unwind, Gather and Play.

Gated, green and on the water: the quieter side of Yas Island, with everything the island offers just across the bridge.

The Community

Three Parks, One Canal, 292 Homes

The masterplan wraps inland villas around three green parks, with pocket and linear parks threading between the streets and a community-wide cycle track tying it all together. Canal-front villas line the water on the community's outer edge.

At the centre sits the clubhouse, with an infinity pool, fitness centre and spa, alongside a café, a mini mart and everyday services, so the essentials stay within walking distance of every home.

Directly opposite is Yas Riva, the earlier Aldar community in the same northern cluster, where more than 160 villas have changed hands off-plan since October 2024.
