Yas Island Goes Big Waldorf Astoria Residences Launch + Disney Coming Soon

Yas Island, Abu Dhabi is charging full speed into the global spotlight — and DreamDwell Properties is your gateway to the action. With Aldar and Hilton announcing the launch of Abu Dhabi’s first Waldorf Astoria Residences on Yas Island, and Disney preparing to join the entertainment powerhouse lineup, this is more than just another property development. It’s a once-in-a-generation transformation of Yas Island into a luxury living, investment, and lifestyle hub.

If you’ve been watching Abu Dhabi’s meteoric rise, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for.

A New Era of Luxury: Waldorf Astoria Residences on Yas Island

The iconic Waldorf Astoria brand, known for refined elegance and world-class service, is officially arriving in Abu Dhabi. In a landmark partnership between Aldar and Hilton, the new Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas Island will offer fully furnished apartments and opulent penthouses with sweeping views of Yas Links Golf Course and the legendary Yas Marina Circuit — home of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

These will be the first branded residences on Yas Island and the first Waldorf Astoria Residences in the UAE capital. That makes this a red-hot opportunity for investors and luxury buyers alike.

The project is set against the lush backdrop of Yas Links — the Middle East’s first true links golf course and host of the Abu Dhabi Championship, part of the DP World Tour Rolex Series. Residents will have a front-row seat to championship golf and high-octane F1 action, all within walking distance.

Strategic Luxury Meets Global Vision

Talal Al Dhiyebi, Aldar’s Group CEO, sums up the significance:

“Our partnership with Hilton will bring the Waldorf Astoria brand to Abu Dhabi for the first time… and deliver signature experiences for our customers with a brand that is globally renowned for its heritage and sophistication.”

This isn’t just about premium property — it’s about setting a new standard for luxury living in Abu Dhabi.

The residences will offer unmatched amenities, blending the hospitality mindset of Hilton with Aldar’s reputation for smart, sustainable, high-end developments. This fusion of real estate excellence makes Yas Island not just a home, but a lifestyle statement.

Next-Level Attractions Just Steps Away

Location matters — and Yas Island is packed with world-class entertainment and culture. Owners at Waldorf Astoria Residences will enjoy proximity to:

  • Ferrari World Abu Dhabi
  • Warner Bros. World
  • SeaWorld Abu Dhabi
  • Etihad Arena
  • Yas Marina Circuit
  • Yas Mall
  • Gardenia Bay waterfront promenade
  • West Yas mangroves

Now add a new megastar to the lineup:

The Big News: Disney Is Coming to Yas Island

Yes, you read that right. Disney is coming to Yas Island — the first of its kind in the Middle East. While the exact details are still under wraps, early reports suggest a massive Disney-themed entertainment destination is in the pipeline. This is a game-changer not just for Abu Dhabi, but for the entire region.

When Disney arrives, Yas Island will become the only location in the world to feature attractions from all four global entertainment giants: Disney, Warner Bros., SeaWorld, and Ferrari.

This amplifies Yas Island’s appeal as a global tourism magnet and prime real estate investment zone, boosting long-term property value and rental yields.
