About the
Yas Island Area
Yas Island is seriously one of the hottest places to be in Abu Dhabi these days. It’s got everything — killer entertainment, gorgeous beaches, legit marinas, and some really cool modern neighborhoods — and somehow it all just works together perfectly in one spot. From day one, the whole island was designed to give you that genuine resort lifestyle without ever leaving the city.
The island’s packed with some massive draws that everyone knows:
Ferrari World — the place with the world’s fastest rollercoaster,
Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi,
Yas Marina Circuit, home of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix each year,
plus the pretty new SeaWorld Abu Dhabi that only opened recently.
But it’s not just about the theme parks and racing. There are these really peaceful residential neighborhoods with low-rise buildings, plenty of green spaces, and — best part — direct beach access for a lot of them. You can actually live somewhere quiet and green, yet still be five minutes from all the action.
