Life under the canopies
The next residential release at Yas Point
The Canopies Sanctuary is the next residential phase Aldar is preparing at Yas Point, on the northern shore of Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. It follows The Canopies, the first community launched in the destination, and keeps the same idea: a neighbourhood where architecture and nature are planned together.
Shaded canopies and open-air spaces shape everyday life. At the center, landscaped gardens and areas designed to exercise, work and meet people, a few steps from the waterfront promenade and moments from the island's theme parks.
The phase is announced with 388 homes, from studios to three bedroom apartments. Prices, payment plan and handover date will be released by Aldar at launch.
Yas Point, the new waterfront of Yas Island
An AED 6 billion destination by Aldar
Yas Point is the waterfront district Aldar announced in July 2026 for the northern tip of Yas Island. The masterplan brings open coastline, public spaces and daily services within walking distance of home.
- A 700 metre waterfront promenade with restaurants, cafés and shops
- The first public beach on the northern side of Yas Island
- Public parks connected by walking and cycling paths
- Hotel, marina and water sports announced in the masterplan
- Planned island links between Yas Point, Yas Acres and Yas Riva
The residences
studios to three bedrooms
The renders released for the community show open living and dining areas, kitchens with an island, large windows facing the gardens and bathrooms finished in stone and wood. Final layouts and sizes for The Canopies Sanctuary will be confirmed by Aldar at launch.
Pre-launch is the moment to register interest and receive the floor plans first, with an i9properties consultant by your side in Portuguese or English.
Gardens, wellness and connection
Life in the community is organized around the gardens. Aldar presents the project as a place to exercise, work and connect without leaving home, with shade as part of the architecture.
- Landscaped gardens at the heart of the community
- Shaded canopies over the outdoor areas
- Spaces for exercise and wellness
- Spaces to work and to meet
- Pool decks among the gardens, as shown in the renders
- Steps from the waterfront promenade
