The Canopies Sanctuary is a new Aldar residential community at Yas Point on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi: 388 apartments from studios to 3-bedroom homes with landscaped podium gardens, pools and family amenities. Aldar describes it as the next chapter of homes at Yas Point, steps from the waterfront promenade.
Starting prices are Studio (45 sqm) from AED 1.66M; 1-bedroom (81 sqm) from AED 2.3M; 2-bedroom (114 sqm) from AED 3.4M; 2-bedroom + maid (136 sqm) from AED 3.9M; 3-bedroom + maid + study (181 sqm) from AED 5.2M. These are "from" prices; the price of a specific home depends on its floor, view and availability.
A 55/45 plan: 5% on booking, then 10% on 23 May 2027, 23 January 2028, 23 September 2028, 23 May 2029 and 23 January 2030, and 45% on handover in Q1 2031. Dates are as published by Aldar and can change.
Handover is planned for Q1 2031, when the final 45% falls due. Estimated dates can change; the date that binds the developer is in the sale and purchase agreement.
Aldar's factsheet gives 388 homes in total, ranging from studios to 3-bedroom apartments. Note that this is The Canopies Sanctuary specifically; Aldar's earlier Canopies phase at Yas Island is a separate release.
Aldar's published launch journey: 25 November 2026 for Priority Pass brokers (digital sales) and for local and international brokers serving non-residents, then the public launch on 26 November 2026, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM UAE time. Appointment booking opens on 16 and 17 November. Confirm all dates and access with Aldar.

At Yas Point on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. Aldar says it is steps from the waterfront promenade and moments from world-class theme parks; its own page mentions SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi and the upcoming Sphere Abu Dhabi. Check exact distances for the route you care about.
Miral and The Walt Disney Company announced in May 2025 that a Disney theme park is planned on Yas Island. The exact site, design and opening date have not been confirmed, so treat it as an announced plan, not as a feature of this project.
Yas Point is Aldar's new waterfront district on Yas Island, announced in July 2026 with an estimated gross development value of about AED 6 billion over roughly 600,000 sqm, with around 1,600 residences, a five-star resort and an international school planned, as reported by Gulf News and WAM. Delivery timings are set by Aldar.
Outdoors: a residents' podium garden, swimming pools with pool cabanas, a canopy lounge, BBQ and outdoor dining, an outdoor kids' play area and an outdoor exercise area. Indoors: a residents' co-working lounge, a fully equipped gym and an indoor kids' play area.
Studio (about 45 sqm), 1-bedroom (81 sqm), 2-bedroom (114 sqm), 2-bedroom plus maid (136 sqm) and 3-bedroom plus maid plus study (181 sqm), each in several layouts including accessible (ADA) versions. See the floor plans page for all 15 layouts.
We cannot promise returns, and nobody can: values and rents can rise or fall. The points to weigh are the entry prices from AED 1.66M, a payment plan with only 5% on booking and about half paid before Q1 2031 handover, an established master developer, and Yas Island's long-running leisure and community offering. Compare it with other options and take independent advice.
Yas Island is one of Abu Dhabi's areas open to foreign ownership. Eligibility, registration steps and fees are set by Abu Dhabi rules and Aldar's terms, so confirm the details for your situation before paying a deposit.
Homes priced above AED 2 million are generally the threshold for the 10-year property Golden Visa, which covers every type here except the studio. Eligibility is decided by the authorities and the rules can change, so confirm current conditions before relying on it.
On new off-plan launches the developer normally pays the agent's fee, so you pay the same price as buying direct and get an agent handling your registration, paperwork and follow-up. We confirm this in writing for your purchase.
