About Gardenia Bay in Yas Island
The development is conceived as an architecture-first composition with generous communal space. Residences range from 1,935 sq.ft, with layouts shaped for full-time living and lock-up-and-leave convenience. Interiors follow a contemporary palette — natural materials, muted tones and full-height glazing — and most homes open onto views across Yas Island.
Practicality is engineered in as carefully as the aesthetics: circulation is straightforward, storage is generous for the segment, and the floor plans waste little area on corridors. For buyers comparing options in Yas Island, that efficiency translates directly into usable value per square foot.
The numbers frame the offer clearly: apartments layouts, built-up areas around 1,935 sq. ft.

On-site facilities follow the standard of a premium Yas Island development:
- Swimming pool and children’s play areas
- Fully equipped fitness centre
- Landscaped podium and BBQ terraces
- 24-hour security and covered parking
Together, these facilities shift daily routines on-site — morning swims, padel sessions and weekend gatherings happen without leaving the community.
Location & Connectivity
The address places residents minutes from Yas Island’s retail, school and medical cluster, while major highways connect the community to business districts, schools and medical hubs across the city.
Beyond the immediate district, residents reach Abu Dhabi’s business core, cultural institutions and leisure islands within a single drive window — useful for lock-up-and-leave owners as much as full-time residents.
Why Invest in Gardenia Bay?
