Gardenia Bay at Yas Island by Aldar is a waterfront development on Yas Island, created around water, greenery and a relaxed, resort-style way of life. With 240 homes, the community brings together studio to three-bedroom apartments and four-bedroom townhouses, offering a choice of homes for individuals, couples and families who want to live close to the water. Prices are upon request, so prospective buyers can enquire for current availability and pricing details.

The development is nature-led in character, with a central canal running through the heart of the community, a private beach and a central lagoon giving residents a direct connection to the water. Swimming pools, a wave pool, children’s splash pads, a lazy river and a water-themed park add a playful, holiday-like dimension to everyday living, while a central park, shaded gardens and barbecue areas provide quieter places to gather and relax. Restaurants and cafés near the water, a clubhouse and a residents’ lounge complete a setting designed for both social living and private retreat.

Homes at Gardenia Bay are open, airy and light-filled, with floor-to-ceiling windows, sea or canal views, high ceilings and neutral tones that create calm, flexible interiors. The residences are unfurnished, allowing buyers to furnish and personalise their homes to their own taste. Handover is scheduled for Q2 2027, with a 50/50 payment plan comprising 10% on booking, 40% during construction and 50% on handover.

A Nature-Led Waterfront Community

Gardenia Bay has been conceived as a community built around water rather than simply beside it. The central canal gives the neighbourhood a distinctive identity and a natural focal point, while the central lagoon and private beach bring a coastal atmosphere into daily life. Landscaped gardens and open green spaces soften the built environment and encourage residents to spend time outdoors, whether walking, cycling or meeting friends and neighbours.

Features & Amenities

Residents benefit from an extensive range of leisure, wellness and family amenities, all centred on water, nature and community life. Swimming pools, a wave pool, children’s splash pads and a lazy river provide recreation for every age, while the water-themed park adds a distinctive family attraction within the community itself.

On land, the central park, barbecue areas, children’s play area and shaded gardens offer space for picnics, play and quiet relaxation. A fitness centre and community gym, sauna and spa and wellness centre support health and wellbeing, while a clubhouse and residents’ lounge provide welcoming indoor spaces for socialising. Bicycle paths and jogging and cycling tracks encourage an active lifestyle, and beach access, including the private beach, keeps the waterfront within easy reach. Parking, concierge services and security complete the everyday practicalities of living here.
