Aldar Launches Yas Riva: Canal-Front Villa Community On Yas Island Offering Sustainable Luxury

Aldar Properties has introduced Yas Riva, a villa community on Yas Island, featuring canal-front and canal-accessible homes. This development offers a unique lifestyle with direct canal access, making it one of the few residential projects in Abu Dhabi with this feature. Each canal-front villa includes a private dock, allowing residents to explore the waterways by boat.

The canal-front villas are designed to blend with the surrounding landscape, reflecting the movement of water. Villas further inland boast contemporary architecture with views of landscaped gardens and parks. These inland villas also have access to the canal front via dedicated walkways. The minimalist design provides a serene backdrop for green spaces.

Homeowners can choose between two exterior designs and interiors crafted by design studio 1058 London. Additionally, they can customise an outdoor pod for various uses such as a gym, office, extra living space, or majlis. This flexibility allows residents to tailor their homes to their specific needs.

Amenities and Facilities

Residents will enjoy access to a health and wellness centre located by the water, which includes a spa, gym, adults’ pool, kids’ pool, and a sunken firepit. Other amenities include landscaped gardens, parks with table tennis facilities, padel courts, outdoor fitness areas, an amphitheatre, social spaces, and a kids’ play area featuring a Splash Pad and climbing structures.

Proximity to Attractions

Situated on the northern shores of Yas Island, Yas Riva offers proximity to entertainment and leisure options such as Yas Mall, Yas Bay, Yas Marina Circuit, Yas Links Golf Course, Yas Acres Golf Course, and Etihad Arena. The community is also near upcoming attractions like Yas Park and theme parks including Yas Waterworld, Ferrari World, Warner Bros World, and CLYMB Abu Dhabi.

Sustainability Goals

Yas Riva aims for sustainability with a target of 3 Pearl Estidama rating for the villas and 2 Pearl Estidama rating for the community. Sustainable design elements include low-carbon designs for the villas, use of recycled materials, and FSC-certified timber. The development also seeks a 2-star rating from Fitwel for promoting healthy communities.

Sales of units will commence on 13th September 2024 for all nationalities.
