## Overview

Sama Yas is a low-rise residential development by [Aldar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/aldar) on [Yas Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/abu-dhabi/yas-island), with 251 units in Aldar's figures: apartments, duplexes and penthouses of one to five bedrooms, plus some retail. Aldar's published sizes run from 941 sq ft to 13,782 sq ft. Property Finder places it in the Yas Park part of the island and gives Yas Marina Circuit and Ferrari World as about five minutes away and Yas Mall about seven.

The homes are large and the service level is closer to a hotel than a standard apartment block. Aldar lists a clinic, concierge, valet parking and a house car, catered picnics in the park, a residents' club called The Canopy Club, a cinema, a reading room and a playroom, alongside the pool, gym and exercise track. Property Finder notes that the project targets Estidama 3 Pearl, Fitwel and LEED Gold certification; these are targets, not awarded ratings.

On 13 November 2026 Aldar was selling 14 of its own units: five two-bedroom duplexes from AED 5,905,725 to AED 9,693,774 (2,491 to 3,118 sq ft), four three-bedroom apartments from AED 6,760,764 to AED 7,643,878 (2,752 to 3,084 sq ft) and five three-bedroom duplexes from AED 7,321,050 to AED 10,568,220 (3,061 to 3,220 sq ft). Owner resales of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes also appeared on Aldar's listing. Property Finder still shows launch prices from AED 1.9 million, with two-bedroom homes from AED 4.1 million and three-bedroom homes from AED 6.6 million, so the portal figures describe the launch rather than what is for sale now.

The dates differ between sources. Aldar gives completion as Q2 2028. Property Finder, which records construction from 30 April 2024, lists Q3 2027. We use Aldar's date, but ask Aldar for the current construction programme and the handover date in your sale agreement. Property Finder's figures for the building count also vary (three low-rise buildings with 234 units in one place, two buildings in another), so rely on Aldar's 251.

Property Finder gives the payment plan as 10% at launch, 50% during construction and 40% on handover. On the cheapest duplex now listed, 40% is about AED 2.36 million, due in 2028. Sama Yas suits owner-occupiers and families who want generous space and staffed services close to Yas Island's attractions. Investors should weigh the high price per home against the depth of the rental market at this level on Yas, and should ask for the service charge, which has not been published and will need to cover the concierge, valet and clinic services.
