Area guide

Living in Yas Island

Yas Island is Abu Dhabi's leisure and entertainment island. It combines residential communities with Yas Marina Circuit, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld, Yas Mall and a waterfront promenade, so there is almost always something to do close to home.

The island appeals to young families, professionals who want an active lifestyle, and investors drawn by constant visitor demand. Homes range from apartments to townhouses and villas.

Schools and everyday needs

Yas is well served for daily life. Yas Mall provides supermarkets, shops, dining and a cinema, and clinics and services are close by. International schools are available on the island and in the surrounding area, so confirm the school run for your chosen community.

Beaches, parks and leisure

Leisure is the island's identity. Residents have access to theme parks, a golf course at Yas Links, the marina and waterfront dining, as well as beach areas and green spaces within the communities. Concerts and the Formula 1 Grand Prix make Yas lively through the year.

Getting around

Yas is connected to the E10 and E11 road network, with Zayed International Airport close by and Saadiyat Island next door. Downtown Abu Dhabi is typically a drive of roughly half an hour, depending on traffic, and Dubai is reachable by road.
