Disneyland Abu Dhabi could soon call North Yas its home — specifically a waterfront plot near Fahid Bridge, according to real estate expert Ben Crompton. While nothing’s confirmed, it’s one of the last premium beachfront locations left on Yas Island.

Property Market Already Heating Up
Even without premium pricing for theme park views, Yas Island property prices have jumped up to 20% over the past year. Demand spiked right after the May announcement, with villas outperforming apartments and Aldar projects leading gains.
Short-Term Rentals in Abu Dhabi
Short-term lets are regulated by the Department of Culture & Tourism, which requires a licence. Crompton says the process is simple, and professional operators are available to help.
