Yas Island continues its transformation into one of the UAE’s most desirable destinations with a new addition that blends luxury, lifestyle, and location. Aldar Properties, a real estate development company owned by the Abu Dhabi government, has officially teamed up with Hilton to launch the first Waldorf Astoria Residences in Abu Dhabi — and the spotlight is firmly on Yas.
This marks two major milestones: the first branded residential project of its kind on Yas Island, and the debut of Waldorf Astoria’s residential brand in the UAE capital. It also signals a fresh chapter in high-end real estate on the island, one that’s expected to draw interest from both local buyers and international investors.

Set against the manicured backdrop of Yas Links Golf Course and just a short distance from the Yas Marina Circuit, these new homes are designed for those who want front-row seats to both greenery and adrenaline. The development will offer a collection of furnished apartments and penthouses, combining upscale interiors with sweeping balcony views.
The launch of Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas Island is part of a growing global trend of branded residences — luxury homes managed or serviced by five-star hotel brands. The Waldorf Astoria name already holds weight in hospitality circles, and now, it’s extending that promise of quality into private living spaces.

In Abu Dhabi, the project aligns with the capital’s wider ambitions to grow its luxury property sector while enhancing the liveability of its most dynamic districts. From Yas Bay to SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, everything on the island is within easy reach.
The official launch is set for the coming weeks, with sales likely to move quickly given the location and brand recognition. For those seeking refined living with hotel-level perks and Abu Dhabi’s biggest attractions next door, Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas Island could be a compelling place to call home.
