Yas Golf Collection

Yas Golf Collection is a two-building furnished residential development by Aldar, positioned on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, and due for completion in Q1 2026.

# The towers and their setting on Yas Island

Yas Island occupies roughly 9.6 square kilometres of man-made land off the Abu Dhabi coastline, and over the past decade it has accumulated an unusual density of infrastructure: a Formula 1 circuit, major theme parks, a substantial retail mall, and a beach. Aldar, the island's principal developer, has built much of this fabric, which gives Yas Golf Collection a particular kind of coherence. The project is not parachuted into an unproven postcode. It sits within an ecosystem the same developer has spent years constructing.

The collection comprises two buildings. Architecture here is shaped by the Estidama 2 Pearl Rating standard, Abu Dhabi's green building framework, which imposes requirements on materials, energy performance and environmental impact. Natural, ethically sourced materials are specified throughout. That regulatory context disciplines the design in ways that pure aesthetic ambition sometimes does not.

# Residences: furnished studios through to three-bedroom apartments

The project spans studio, one, two and three-bedroom configurations. Furnished units run to studios and one-bedroom apartments, with kitchens included as standard. Two and three-bedroom apartments are delivered unfurnished, giving buyers who intend to occupy those larger homes room to personalise.

Specific square footage figures have not been published for public reference at this stage, so size comparisons against competing stock are better made on inspection. The service charge is set at 13 AED per square foot.

# Amenities: golf, beach, green corridor and daily convenience

The amenity list is longer than most comparable mid-scale Aldar releases. Residents have access to Yas Links, the island's award-winning golf course, which removes the membership friction that normally separates a course from an adjacent residential address.

Direct access to Yas Beach and an aqua lounge extend the leisure offer toward the waterfront. For daily rhythm rather than leisure occasion, a souq operates within the community itself, which reduces the need to drive for basic provisions. The Green Loop, a semi-public landscape corridor with a jogging track, runs adjacent to the development, which is a more considered piece of public-realm design than the typical podium garden arrangement.

Further on-site amenities include a gym, cinema room, basketball court, residence lounge, communal podiums and gardens, a zen area, and swimming pool access. The community is pet-friendly.

# Connections: Abu Dhabi Airport and the immediate island grid

Abu Dhabi International Airport's Midfield Terminal sits 9.7 kilometres away, roughly a 20-minute drive. For residents who travel frequently or who are purchasing as a second home, that proximity removes a common friction point.

Within the island, West Yas Plaza is seven minutes by car and Yas Beach is eight minutes. The Academy and Yas Small Park are both within a five-minute drive. C.J Mercantile, a neighbourhood retail point, is six minutes out. The internal road network on Yas Island is well-planned, and distances on paper rarely inflate badly in practice.

# Who this project suits and where it sits in the Abu Dhabi market

Yas Golf Collection is not a Dubai address. That distinction matters for buyers whose research has focused exclusively on Downtown Dubai or Dubai Marina. Abu Dhabi operates under a different regulatory framework, and Yas Island functions more as a self-contained leisure district than an urban neighbourhood. The buyer profile this project attracts tends to be one of two types: an investor seeking a furnished unit in a high-footfall leisure destination with rental yield potential, or an owner-occupier who values proximity to golf, beach and international travel infrastructure over proximity to a city centre.

Aldar's track record on the island provides some reassurance on delivery. The Q1 2026 completion target places it among the nearer-term Abu Dhabi off-plan options currently available. For buyers weighing the relative merits of established Dubai addresses against Abu Dhabi's more controlled land supply and lower price-per-square-foot entry points, Yas Golf Collection represents a credible case for the latter.
