Waldorf Astoria Residences By Aldar Properties
Introduction
This is not another glossy Yas Island tower. Waldorf Astoria Residences by Aldar feels closer to a private golf club with homes attached to it.
It is the first Waldorf Astoria branded residence in Abu Dhabi, built with Hilton’s hospitality DNA but designed for people who actually live here full time. You are buying a residence that behaves like a serviced address, not a hotel masquerading as housing.
You wake up looking at Yas Links fairways, mangroves, and the Marina Circuit, step outside into a low density, calm environment, yet you are minutes from Ferrari World, Yas Mall, and the island’s beaches. It is luxury that stays quiet rather than theatrical.
Core facts you should anchor to:
- Starting price: AED 3.8 Million
- Unit mix: 1BR, 2BR, 3BR apartments plus duplex options
- Size range: 115 to 269 sqm
- Payment plan: 60/40
- Handover: December 2028
If you want a trophy address that will age well rather than chase trends, this sits in that category.
Why Investors Like It
This is not a speculative play. It is a long hold premium asset.
First Waldorf Astoria branded address in Abu Dhabi Scarcity drives desirability. Being first matters for resale.
Yas Island demand is structural Tourism, events, expatriate residents, and high net worth families ensure steady rental appetite.
Large unit sizes attract premium tenants Homes between 115 and 269 sqm pull higher quality, longer staying renters.
Golf and marina views support value Properties overlooking Yas Links historically outperform generic island units.
Aldar plus Hilton reduces risk perception Serious buyers trust this combination, especially international investors.
If your goal is stable appreciation plus high end rental income, this fits that profile better than most Yas launches.

It suits buyers who value:

The real decision here is not whether to buy, it is which layout and view line to lock early. Orientation and floor choice will materially affect resale value.
