Home types and layouts in Yas Riva
Yas Riva offers villas with 4, 5 or 6 bedrooms, spread over living areas from 481 to 631 m2. The homes are spacious and available in two variants: canal-side or inland. Canal villas have their own private jetty, allowing you to access the water from your own garden. Each villa features a modern layout with open living spaces, large windows and high-quality finishes. The kitchens and bathrooms are finished with top-quality materials. Additionally, Aldar offers the possibility to personalize the interior through 1058 London, so you can adapt your home to your own taste.
In addition to the interior, you can also personalize the exterior. There are two exterior designs available: a flowing, water-inspired facade or a sleek contemporary architecture. Moreover, you can choose for an outdoor pod, which you can arrange as a fitness room, home office or extra living space. The villas are designed with attention to sustainability, including recycled steel, concrete and FSC-certified wood. They aim for a 3 Pearl Estidama rating, which ensures an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly home. The large windows and open floor plans provide plenty of natural light and a seamless transition between inside and outside.

Payment plan and guidance at Yas Riva
The payment plan for Yas Riva is 50/50. This means you pay 50% of the purchase price during construction and the remaining 50% upon handover in Q3 2028. The down payment upon reservation is 5% of the property value. The remaining 45% is divided into installments over the construction period, depending on the project’s progress.
