The Canopies Sanctuary by Aldar introduces 388 residences at Yas Point on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The release offers studios and 1–3BR apartments, including 2BR homes with a maid’s room and 3BR homes with a maid’s room and study. Average sizes range by category from 484 to 1,948 sq.ft. A podium garden, shaded outdoor spaces, pools, a co-working lounge and a residents’ club support daily life close to the waterfront promenade. Interiors feature porcelain flooring, engineered stone kitchen surfaces and laminate cabinetry. Prices start from AED 1.66M, with a 55/45 payment plan and 5% on booking. Handover is expected in Q1 2031.
The landscaped garden at the heart of the community brings sport, rest and meetings into one outdoor space: an outdoor fitness zone, shaded canopies and cabanas by the pools, and a BBQ area for gatherings. Children have their own play areas and a splash pad.
More than half of the residences are studios and 1BR apartments, so the shared spaces add to the living area. The co-working lounge replaces a home office, the gym saves a fitness-club membership, and the Canopy lounge and residents' club serve as a living room for meeting friends and neighbours.

Real estate types
More than half of the residences at The Canopies Sanctuary are studios and 1BR apartments (204 of 388), that is, compact homes. Residents do not need to look for a gym or a workspace: the community has a gym, a co-working lounge, pools and a residents' club, amenities that matter to professionals. For families there are 184 more residences: 2BR apartments, including 84 with a maid's room, and 3BR apartments.
Buyers can purchase residences at The Canopies Sanctuary at launch prices, before the beach, promenade, marina, five-star hotel and entertainment village of Yas Point open. 55% of the price is paid before handover: 5% on booking and five instalments of 10% from May 2027 to January 2030, with the remaining 45% due on handover in Q1 2031.
The Canopies Sanctuary suits permanent living. Residents can train in the gym and the outdoor fitness zone, work in the co-working lounge, and spend weekends by the pools, in the cabanas and at the BBQ area. Children have play areas and a splash pad. The wide choice of layouts will appeal to different tenants and residents: a 484 sq.ft studio suits one person, while a 1,948 sq.ft 3BR apartment with a maid's room and a study suits a large family. Beyond the community, residents will be able to use the Yas Point infrastructure: parks, walking and cycling tracks and a waterfront promenade.
