Abu Dhabi
Yas Island
Yas Island is Abu Dhabi's entertainment and motorsport hub, home to the Yas Marina Circuit and the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, plus Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi. Aldar has developed residential communities on the island since 2006, while Miral manages the wider destination. The island suits young professionals and families drawn to theme parks, golf and waterfront living, and appeals to investors betting on tourism-driven demand, sitting roughly ten minutes from the airport with fresh residential and leisure schemes still being added.
