Six Hotels on Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island to Be Transformed Into a Resort

Leading hotel company IHG Hotels & Resorts has partnered with the UAE’s leading real estate developer Aldar to convert six hotels into a single luxury resort on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. 

The newly named Straylight Yas, Vignette Collection will see the refurbishment and conversion of the six hotels into distinct properties set within the new resort complex, with an open private beach accessible to guests of the resort. 

Set to open in late 2025, the resort will feature 1,389 rooms, with an underground tunnel leading to the private beach, and with connections to the Yas Links Abu Dhabi golf course. 

Featuring golf and beach villas, an exclusive beach club and an open air theatre, the resort is part of IHG’s latest foray into luxury travel in the UAE, with the brand aiming to open an additional 100 properties within the coming decade.
