The official Aldar launch sets the Year 1 (2030) service charge at AED 6.21 per sq ft (AED 66.83 per sq m) and Year 2 (2031) at AED 6.33 per sq ft (AED 68.16 per sq m). A 5-year service charge waiver applies on eligible villas for a limited period.
Yas Riva and Yas Riva Reserve are two adjacent Aldar communities on the same northern cluster of Yas Island. Yas Riva is the earlier community, launched in 2024, and now has a live off-plan resale market. Yas Riva Reserve is the newer gated collection of 292 premium 4 to 6 bedroom villas, priced from AED 7.9M, entering the same location the established community has already validated.
Yas Riva Reserve sits opposite the established Yas Riva community, which launched in 2024 on the same northern cluster of Yas Island. That community gives buyers something rare at a new launch: a real transaction record on the doorstep. Since October 2024, more than 160 villas have transacted off-plan in Yas Riva, giving a clear picture of demand and pricing for large villas in this exact location.

Bedroom villas trading across the community
More than 160 off-plan villa sales in under two years points to sustained absorption on this part of Yas Island, not a single launch-day spike.
Fourteen villas have already changed hands on the secondary market before handover, evidence that owners can find buyers and exit ahead of completion.
Across the existing community, four-bedroom villas have traded in the AED 8.19M to 9.77M range, five-bedrooms from AED 9.35M to 13.6M, and six-plus-bedrooms from AED 13.06M to 15.4M. Larger villas command the firmest rate per square foot.
Official launch prices start from AED 7.9M for four-bedroom villas, AED 9.3M for five-bedroom villas, and AED 10.5M for six-bedroom villas. For context, neighbouring Yas Riva transactions range from AED 8.19M to 9.77M for four bedrooms, AED 9.35M to 13.6M for five bedrooms, and AED 13.06M to 15.4M for six-plus bedrooms.
