Mayyas at The Bay

Mayyas at The Bay is a residential building by Advanced Properties on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, comprising eight storeys and a small collection of residences scheduled for completion in Q4 2026.

# The building and its position on Yas Island

Yas Island occupies roughly 9.6 square kilometres off the Abu Dhabi coastline, and over the past decade it has become one of the Gulf's more purposefully constructed leisure addresses. Mayyas at The Bay sits within that context: a single mid-rise building rather than a large-scale masterplan, which gives it a certain compactness unusual for the island's typical development scale.

Eight storeys is a restrained height for a location that has otherwise attracted resort hotels and landmark entertainment venues. The architecture takes a contemporary, light-toned approach consistent with the island's coastal character, though the building's limited unit count of just eight residences suggests a boutique positioning rather than a volume-driven project.

# Residences, layouts and sizing

The unit mix spans one-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom residences, with a considerable spread in footprint. One-bedroom configurations start from around 473 sq ft and extend to just over 700 sq ft, with pricing between approximately AED 1.58 million and AED 2.28 million depending on the specific unit. The range in size and price within a single bedroom type points to meaningful variation in format, whether through loft configurations, duplexes or terrace-fronted layouts.

The standout at the upper end is a single three-bedroom residence at 4,419 sq ft, priced at AED 4.69 million. That is a substantial footprint for a mid-rise building of this scale, and likely reflects a duplex or multi-level townhouse configuration. A second three-bedroom option at 2,244 sq ft is priced at AED 4.45 million. Both represent very different propositions to the entry-level one-beds.

Residences are delivered semi-furnished. Interiors follow a minimalist palette of neutral tones, and kitchens are provided without appliances, leaving buyers latitude to fit out according to their own specification. Service charges are set at AED 10 per sq ft annually.

# Amenities and communal facilities

The facilities confirmed for the development are a swimming pool, a gym and a children's play area. For a building of eight units, this is an appropriate provision rather than an extensive one. Residents seeking broader leisure infrastructure will find it readily available across Yas Island itself, where the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi theme park, Yas Waterworld and the Yas Marina Circuit are all within the island's footprint.

# Connectivity and the Yas Island address

Abu Dhabi International Airport sits close to Yas Island, making the address straightforward for frequent travellers between the UAE and Europe, Asia or the GCC. The island's road infrastructure connects to central Abu Dhabi and, via Sheikh Zayed Road, to Dubai, placing the development within the Abu Dhabi metropolitan framework while offering the amenity density of a purpose-built leisure district.

The Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, held annually at Yas Marina Circuit, draws an international audience and has contributed to the island's profile among buyers who view the address as both a residence and an asset.

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

With just eight units and pricing from AED 1.58 million, Mayyas at The Bay occupies a relatively narrow niche. It is a practical fit for buyers who want a toehold on Yas Island without committing to a larger masterplan community, and for investors drawn to the island's established tourism footfall and rental demand from short-stay visitors attending its events calendar.

The three-bedroom options, particularly the 4,419 sq ft unit, address a different buyer entirely: one who wants generous family space on the island without the resort-hotel adjacency of Yas's larger hotel-anchored developments. At AED 4.69 million for that footprint, the pricing is measured against comparable Abu Dhabi island addresses. Completion in Q4 2026 allows buyers entering now to track construction through to handover with reasonable lead time.
