Yas Bay Waterfront Destination

Yas Bay is a new waterfront destination development located on the southern part of Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. It will be one of the UAE’s most iconic and vibrant waterfront destinations offering a broad array of entertainment options including restaurants, hotels and a state-of-the-art multi-purpose arena. The destination will include a waterfront promenade and a pier with more than 50 cafés and restaurants, 20 retail outlets, a cinema, a beach club, and two hotels.

Yas Bay will also include Abu Dhabi’s first multipurpose arena designed to expand from an intimate 500-seat theatre to an 18,000-spectator venue. This will enable hosting of diverse sports and entertainment events and will position Yas Arena as one of the most adaptable arenas in the world. Additional retail space near the arena stretching down the promenade will enable a vibrant atmosphere throughout the year.
