Aldar Properties has announced the launch of Yas Riva, an exclusive villa community on Yas Island offering buyers a choice of both canal-front and canal-accessible homes designed to facilitate relaxation in a waterfront setting.
With sleek and elegant design principles, Yas Riva is one of the few residential developments in Abu Dhabi offering direct access to a canal. Each canal-front home will have its own private dock, enabling residents to explore the surrounding waterways via boat.
As many as 151 four-, five-, and six-bedroom canal-front and canal-accessible villas will be available to buyers of all nationalities from September 13, 2024.
The villas further inland, meanwhile, have magnificent contemporary architecture and views over thoughtfully landscaped gardens and parks, as well as access to the canal front via dedicated walkways. The villas are sophisticated in their design, with clean, minimalist lines serving as a perfect backdrop for the surrounding lush green spaces.
Homeowners at Yas Riva will also have the option to customize an outdoor pod that can serve various purposes, be it a gym, office, extra living space or majlis.
Plenty of amenities
Residents will enjoy access to a health-and-wellness centre located on the water’s edge that features a dedicated spa and gym, as well as an adults’ pool, kids’ pool, and a sunken firepit. Further amenities include landscaped gardens, and three parks with facilities such as table tennis, two padel courts, outdoor fitness areas, an amphitheatre, social and picnic spaces, and an obstacle course. Kids at Yas Riva will also enjoy play areas, a splash pad, climbing play and channel water play.
Prime location
Located on the northern shores of Yas Island, residents will experience leading entertainment, retail, and leisure offerings on the island, such as Yas Mall, Yas Bay, Yas Marina Circuit, Yas Links Golf Course, Yas Acres Golf Course, and Etihad Arena. The community will also be in close proximity to upcoming spaces such as Yas Park and several award-winning theme parks, including Yas Waterworld, Ferrari World, and Warner Bros World, as well as the record-breaking CLYMB Abu Dhabi.
Sustainable living
Yas Riva is targeting a 3 Pearl Estidama rating for the villas and a 2 Pearl Estidama rating for the community, incorporating sustainable design elements that reduce carbon emissions and water usage throughout the development’s design, build, and living phases. This includes low-carbon designs for the villas and the use of materials such as recycled steel and concrete, as well as FSC-certified timber with a lower embodied carbon footprint. Yas Riva is also aiming for a 2-star rating from Fitwel, the world’s leading certification system committed to building healthy communities.
