Yas Riva Reserve is Aldar’s newest gated villa community on Yas Island, set in the north east of the island directly opposite the established Yas Riva. It is a private, family focused address of 292 four to six bedroom villas, 45 of them lining the community’s canal with the option to add a private pontoon. A fifth of the land is given over to parks, gardens and trails, with a residents only clubhouse at its heart and a new bridge planned to connect the community to the rest of Yas Island. This is, in Aldar’s words, the private side of Yas.
The homes are offered in two collections. The inland villas sit among the parks and comprise 247 homes: four bedroom villas of 437 square metres on plots up to 711 square metres, five bedroom villas of 482 square metres, and six bedroom villas of 538 square metres. The waterfront collection is a limited release of 45 canal facing villas, available in five bedroom layouts of 552 square metres and six bedroom layouts of 609 square metres on plots reaching 1,294 square metres. Every waterfront home can add a pontoon, bringing the water to the doorstep.
Architecture across the Reserve is contemporary and understated, with generous ceiling heights, full height glazing, large kitchens and expansive private gardens. Interiors are finished to the high standard buyers expect of Aldar, with flexible family and entertaining spaces designed for how households actually live. The waterfront villas add direct canal frontage and the kind of outdoor living that is rare even on Yas Island.
Life here is built around space, nature and leisure. Residents enjoy landscaped parks and gardens, walking and cycling trails, children’s play areas, a hobby garden and a residents only clubhouse, all within a secure gated setting. Beyond the gates, Yas Island offers beaches, golf, the marina, Yas Mall, leading schools and the island’s famous theme parks, while Abu Dhabi’s cultural districts and business hubs are a short drive away.
For investors and end users alike, Yas Riva Reserve sits at the premium end of Abu Dhabi’s resilient villa market, where large family and waterfront homes remain in limited supply. Prices start from AED 7,900,000 for a four bedroom inland villa, rising to AED 14,500,000 for a six bedroom waterfront home. Aldar offers an attractive payment structure of 5 percent on booking, staged payments through construction and 50 percent on handover, which is scheduled for 2030, along with launch incentives that have included a five year service charge waiver and a 2 percent registration fee waiver. No mortgage pre approval is required to reserve, which keeps the path to ownership straightforward for both local and international buyers and has helped the early phases sell quickly since the September 2026 launch.
