IHG Hotels & Resorts has welcomed Yas World Resort, previously Yas Plaza Hotels, to Vignette Collection on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. Developed by Aldar, the resort is the largest Vignette Collection property in the world.
The resort has six hotels: Verde, Vista, Pulse, Horizon, Fairway and Haven. Guests share access to a private beach, dining, pools, wellness and leisure facilities. The addition strengthens IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, the second largest in the world.
“Welcoming Yas World Resort into Vignette Collection marks a significant addition to IHG’s growing luxury and lifestyle portfolio across the region, and a strong reflection of the ambition shaping tourism in Abu Dhabi,” said Haitham Mattar, managing director of India, Middle East & Africa, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “As the world’s largest Vignette Collection destination, the resort brings together six distinctive hotels in one integrated experience, offering greater choice for travellers while remaining deeply connected to the character and culture of Yas Island. This landmark milestone reinforces our commitment to strategic growth with our owners and partners, and to creating exceptional destinations that attract guests from across the region and around the world.”
“Yas World Resort marks an important milestone in Aldar’s hospitality transformation and reflects our long-term commitment to Yas Island as one of the world’s leading leisure and entertainment destinations,” Said Kapil Aggarwal, CEO of Aldar Hospitality. “ By reimagining six hotels as one connected resort, opening private beach access at Cyan Beach and partnering with IHG to bring Vignette Collection to the island, we have created a destination that offers greater choice, richer experiences and lasting value for guests and for Abu Dhabi’s tourism sector. It is a clear example of how we continue to invest in places that grow and evolve with the emirate’s ambitions.”
The resort includes six swimming pools, three spas, three kids’ clubs, gyms and padel, tennis and squash courts. Cyan Beach offers a private shoreline with food and beverage options by the water. The 21 food and beverage options are spread across the six hotels and shared resort spaces.
Yas Island is home to Ferrari World Yas Island, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, SeaWorld Yas Island and Yas Waterworld Yas Island.
Guests arrive at “Marhaba El-Saa,” an Emirati-inspired welcome. They also receive a fragrance created with House of Artisans, Abu Dhabi, an initiative dedicated to preserving traditional Emirati craftsmanship. Proceeds from handcrafted Emirati pieces sold at the resort support local artisans.
IHG One Rewards members can earn and redeem points across all six hotels. Further enhancements are planned across dining, wellness and sports.
