Aldar announced Yas Riva Residences, a resort-inspired residential development centred around a modernist Pavilion and designed to elevate canal-side living on Yas Island
Aldar has announced the launch of Yas Riva Residences, a vibrant new residential community located along the canal on Yas Island. The development captures both the spirit of adventure and the tranquillity of waterfront living in one of the UAE’s most sought-after lifestyle destinations.
Positioned on the island’s northern coast, adjacent to the previously launched and sold-out villa community Yas Riva, the new project introduces a fresh approach to canal-front living through a resort-style design that blends wellbeing, adventure, and social interaction.
At the centre of the development sits The Pavilion, an architectural focal point inspired by the modernist design of Barcelona’s iconic Pavilion. Featuring a café and social kitchen, it serves as the community’s social hub, encouraging cultural interaction and a relaxed sense of connection.
Yas Riva Residences has been designed around four distinct pavilion experiences, each offering amenities aimed at active living, family engagement, and waterfront recreation. These include waterside spa areas, family activity pools, an integrated hub for boating and water sports, indoor and outdoor sports facilities, shaded garden spaces, and lively canal-side cafés. Together, the amenities deliver a lifestyle that balances adventure, wellbeing, and ease in a contemporary waterfront setting.
