Location
Yas Island and connectivity
Gardenia Bay sits on Yas Island. It offers quiet waterfront living within the busy setting of Abu Dhabi. Unspoilt natural landscape surrounds the site, giving residents a calm retreat from the pace of the city.
Several internationally known attractions are close by:
- Etihad Arena
- SeaWorld
- Warner Bros. World
These put residents next to some of the island's main high-end leisure and entertainment venues. The green spaces of Yas Gateway Park are a short distance away, as is Yas Mall with its wide choice of shops and restaurants. Together they cover a range of lifestyle needs. The site also has strong road links to Abu Dhabi's major urban centres, which makes it easy to combine work with leisure.

Questions buyers ask
What is off-plan property in Dubai?
Off-plan property is a unit purchased directly from the developer before or during construction, typically at a lower entry price and with flexible, milestone-based payment plans.
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?
Yes. Foreign nationals can buy freehold property with 100% ownership in Dubai's designated freehold areas, with no residency requirement.
What is a payment plan and how does it work?
A payment plan splits the property price into instalments — usually a down payment on booking, staged payments during construction, and a final amount on handover.
What is the UAE Golden Visa and how can real estate qualify?
The Golden Visa is a long-term, renewable UAE residency (up to 10 years). A property investment of AED 2 million or more typically qualifies the owner to apply.
How do I get a mortgage for a Dubai property?
Both residents and non-residents can obtain mortgages from UAE banks, generally financing 50–80% of the value depending on status. Our team can connect you with mortgage advisors.
What is the expected ROI from Dubai off-plan property?
Dubai off-plan typically delivers strong returns — rental yields of around 6–8% plus notable capital appreciation by handover, varying by location and project.
