Yas Links is the Middle East’s first links course and hosts the Abu Dhabi Championship, a DP World Tour Rolex Series event.
“Our partnership with Hilton will bring the Waldorf Astoria brand to Abu Dhabi for the first time, and further bolster the emirate’s position as a global destination of choice for both investment and long-term residency. The partnership aligns with our ambition to instil a hospitality mindset across our organisation and enables us to deliver signature experiences for our customers with a brand that is globally renowned for its heritage and sophistication,” Talal Al Dhiyebi, Group Chief Executive Officer at Aldar said.
The residences will be launched for sale in the coming weeks.
Residents will have access to attractions including Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and Etihad Arena, as well as the Gardenia Bay waterfront promenade and the mangroves of West Yas.
