The cheapest way into Yas Bay
Selina Bay starts at AED 1 million. Perla Prime starts at AED 1.5 million and Perla Waves at AED 1.9 million. All three are Reportage buildings in the same part of Yas Island.
The reason for the gap is unit mix and stage. Selina Bay includes studios, which the Perla buildings do not, and it is at 11.5 percent complete against 31.6 and 92.69 percent respectively.
So the AED 1 million figure buys the smallest studio at the earliest stage. That is a real entry point into a waterfront island address, but it is not comparable to a two bedroom in a near finished building, and we would rather set that out than let the headline do the work.
The unit range is unusually wide
172 homes covering studios, one to four bedroom apartments, three and four bedroom penthouses and townhouses is a lot of formats for a building of that size.
For a buyer that means the building will hold a mixed resident population rather than a single profile, and it means several of the formats exist in very small numbers. Penthouses and townhouses inside an 18 storey Yas Bay building are the scarce lines, and scarcity is what protects resale.

Prices and what the stage means
Entry is AED 1 million at 11.5 percent complete. This is an early stage building.
Early stage gives you first pricing, the longest payment runway of the project’s life and first choice of floor and orientation. It costs you time and it puts the full remaining construction risk on your side of the table.
We do not publish a price per square foot here. The developer does not release a size band we can verify against registered sales. On enquiry we send the live availability sheet with exact size, floor, format and price.

Yas Island itself supplies the rest. Residents are minutes from the Etihad Arena, the Yas Bay promenade restaurants, Yas Beach and four theme parks.
Who Selina Bay suits
Buyers who want Yas Island at the lowest entry. AED 1 million is the cheapest current route into Yas Bay across the Reportage range.
Short let investors. Yas Island runs on events. Concerts at the Etihad Arena, the Formula 1 weekend and theme park traffic drive short stay demand most Abu Dhabi districts never see.
Buyers who want a scarce format. The penthouses and townhouses here are limited stock.
It suits you less if you need to move in soon. At 11.5 percent complete this is a wait, and if your timeline is short then Perla Waves at 92.69 percent complete is the honest alternative.
Yas Island as an investment location
Yas Island is a master planned destination developed by Aldar and Miral. Its entertainment assets are built and operating rather than promised. Ferrari World opened in 2010, Yas Waterworld in 2013, Warner Bros World in 2018 and the Etihad Arena in 2021.
Abu Dhabi charges no annual property tax. Registration is 2 percent of the purchase price against 4 percent in Dubai.
