Yas Riva

01 / The project

A closer look.

Yas Riva is Aldar’s original 151-villa community on northern Yas Island, launched in 2024. It offers four and five-bedroom inland villas and five and six-bedroom canal villas, with distinct designs for the waterfront and garden settings.

The canal-front homes were announced with private docks; inland villas instead reach the water through community walkways. These are different waterfront relationships, so a private mooring should not be assumed for every home.

Interiors were developed with 1058 London. The reviewed layouts show separate formal and family spaces, service rooms and lift provision. Optional outdoor pods can serve different uses, and pool arrangements depend on the selected home and purchase specification.
