Vista Del Mar

Vista Del Mar is a single residential building by Esnad Management on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, offering 24 residences across a configuration that spans one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom formats. Completion is scheduled for October 2025, with construction currently at roughly 45 per cent.

# A boutique building on one of the Gulf's most recognisable islands

Yas Island needs little introduction to international buyers who have tracked Abu Dhabi's development over the past two decades. The island sits roughly 30 kilometres from Abu Dhabi's city centre and has accumulated an unusual density of large-scale attractions: Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, and the Yas Marina Circuit, which hosts the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix each season.

Vista Del Mar occupies a position that draws on the island's waterfront and mangrove edges. At just 24 units across a single building, it belongs firmly to the boutique end of the Yas Island supply, a deliberate contrast to the larger-volume residential schemes that have come to define parts of the island's interior.

The architecture adopts a contemporary approach characterised by clean lines and restrained material choices, with wood accents and deliberate lighting described as central to the interior language.

# Residences, layouts and floor areas

The range is broader than the unit count might suggest. One-bedroom apartments start at approximately 911 square feet, priced from AED 1,904,000. Two-bedroom layouts sit at 1,536 square feet, with pricing between AED 3,129,750 and AED 3,390,250. Three-bedroom residences cover the widest band, from around 2,249 square feet to just over 4,097 square feet, with prices ranging from AED 4,314,256 to AED 6,325,111.

The upper end of the scheme is a single four-bedroom residence at 4,349 square feet, priced at AED 8,629,030.

Furnishing is offered as an option rather than a given, which suits buyers who prefer to specify their own fit-out or those acquiring for investment purposes who may wish to control that decision closer to handover. Kitchens are described as equipped. The service charge is set at AED 18 per square foot.

# Amenities on site

The facilities list is compact and functional: a swimming pool, gym and fitness centre, barbeque area, and a children's playground. There are no claims of hotel-style amenity stacks here. For a building of 24 residences, this is a proportionate offering, prioritising the essentials over floor space consumed by facilities that few residents in a building this size would regularly use.

# The Yas Island context

The island's primary draw for international buyers has always been its leisure infrastructure, and that infrastructure is mature. Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, and the circuit are established rather than planned. Yas Mall, one of the larger retail destinations in the Abu Dhabi emirate, is also on the island.

Abu Dhabi International Airport sits close enough to make Vista Del Mar practical for buyers who split time between the Gulf and Europe or Asia. The island is connected to the mainland by road, and its position places it between Abu Dhabi city and the Dubai corridor.

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

Vista Del Mar is not a volume play. Twenty-four units in a single building on a mature leisure island represents a specific proposition: a low-density address in an area that has already proved its appeal, rather than a speculative bet on an emerging district.

The price range, from just under AED 1.9 million for a one-bedroom to AED 8.6 million for the four-bedroom, positions the project across multiple buyer profiles. The smaller formats attract investors looking at the short-term rental market that Yas Island's tourist footfall supports. The larger three- and four-bedroom residences are more naturally suited to owner-occupiers, particularly families drawn by the island's concentration of leisure and the relative quiet of a boutique building.

For buyers comparing Abu Dhabi and Dubai simultaneously, Yas Island occupies a different rhythm entirely: less frenetic, more contained, and anchored to a leisure economy that predates the current Gulf property cycle rather than depending on it.
