Opula Residence on Yas Bay: Four Property Types from DHB Properties
DHB Properties brings Opula Residence to Yas Bay, a waterfront zone on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The project offers apartments, duplexes, penthouses, and townhouses. Construction began in May 2025. Expected handover is December 2027.
Yas Bay and What the Location Delivers
Yas Island sits off the northwestern coast of Abu Dhabi, connected to the mainland via road access. Yas Bay is the island's waterfront residential and dining district. Living here puts residents near the island's leisure infrastructure: theme parks, a marina circuit, a major mall, and waterfront dining. Abu Dhabi city centre is roughly 20 to 30 minutes away by car.
The location suits two buyer profiles. End-users who want island living with walkable built-in amenities will find Yas Bay a practical base. Investors targeting holiday-let or short-term demand can point to Yas Island's established profile as a leisure destination.
Starting from AED 700,000
The listed entry price at Opula Residence is AED 700,000. The project covers a wide format range, from studios up to four-bedroom penthouses and three-bedroom townhouses. That mix means a single price point opens onto a broad spectrum of unit types depending on what the buyer is after.
Apartments, Duplexes, Penthouses, Townhouses
Apartments span from studios at 379 sq ft to three-bedroom layouts reaching 2,581 sq ft. The smaller apartments suit single occupants or investors looking for a lower-ticket entry point.
Duplexes range from one to four bedrooms, with sizes from roughly 1,100 sq ft up to about 2,900 sq ft. Two-level living within a managed building suits families who want more space while keeping the services of a development setting.
Penthouses come in four-bedroom configurations at 3,322 sq ft. Buyers at the top end get scale and elevation within the building.
Townhouses are three-bedroom units ranging from 2,890 to 3,952 sq ft. This format suits families who want a larger footprint within a structured community.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Yoga room, Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
| Lifestyle | Cinema, Restaurants |
Eight amenities across four categories. The indoor swimming pool keeps a core facility available year-round in Abu Dhabi's climate. The cinema and on-site restaurants are notable additions to the package. Together, the amenity mix targets residents who want most day-to-day leisure needs met within the development. The children's play area alongside the larger duplex and townhouse formats signals that the project is pitched at families as much as at single occupants.
December 2027 Handover
Construction at Opula Residence started in May 2025. The expected completion is December 2027, a build period of just over 31 months. An off-plan buyer entering now joins the project mid-construction, with roughly 18 months remaining before the handover date.
For end-users, December 2027 is a concrete planning horizon. For investors, the project is well past its earliest launch phase and the handover is close enough to anchor timing decisions.
Getting In for 10%
| Phase | Share |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 30% |
| At handover | 60% |
The down payment is 10% of the purchase price, which secures the unit. A further 30% is paid during the construction phase. The remaining 60% falls at handover in December 2027. This structure keeps early outlay minimal and concentrates the bulk of payment at delivery.
