Aldar and Hilton Bring Waldorf Astoria Residences to Yas Island – A New Standard of Luxury Living in Abu Dhabi

Aldar Properties has teamed up with global hospitality giant Hilton to launch Abu Dhabi’s first Waldorf Astoria branded residences. This iconic project marks a major milestone—not just for Yas Island, but for the entire UAE real estate landscape.

Yas Island in Abu Dhabi is already renowned for its vibrant lifestyle, iconic attractions, and stunning waterfront views. Now, it is set to become even more prestigious. Aldar Properties, one of the UAE’s most respected real estate developers, has partnered with global hospitality leader Hilton to introduce the first branded residences on Yas Island under the legendary Waldorf Astoria brand.

This collaboration brings together Aldar’s deep understanding of the UAE property market with Hilton’s global reputation for world-class service. The result? An exceptional new living experience that combines luxury, comfort, and timeless elegance in one of the UAE’s most dynamic destinations.

A First-of-Its-Kind on Yas Island

Set along the lush green backdrop of the Yas Links Golf Course—the Middle East’s first true links course—the Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas Island will be the first branded residential community on Yas Island and the first Waldorf Astoria residence in Abu Dhabi.

Imagine waking up to panoramic views of fairways, the blue waters of the Arabian Gulf, and the thrilling Yas Marina Circuit, home to the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. That’s the lifestyle on offer here.

The Vision Behind the Partnership

This strategic partnership was signed in the presence of Aldar’s Group CEO Talal Al Dhiyebi. The agreement was formalized by Jonathan Emery, CEO of Aldar Development, and Daniel Wakeling, Vice President of Development for Luxury & Residences at Hilton EMEA.

Talal Al Dhiyebi stated, “Our partnership with Hilton will bring the Waldorf Astoria brand to Abu Dhabi for the first time and further strengthen the capital’s position as a global destination.”

Daniel Wakeling added, “This marks a major milestone in our luxury-branded residential growth strategy. The region is seeing strong demand for this kind of high-end living, and we’re thrilled to bring it to life in partnership with Aldar.
