True Gamers has unveiled plans to develop the world’s first eSports Island in Abu Dhabi which includes a luxurious hotel (with a unique concept), high-tech venues for gaming tournaments, professional training facilities, content creation spaces, and more.

What’s On reached out to True Gamer on a possible location for the island, who confirmed it would be called eSports Island, and it will be located in Al Raha Creek in Al Seef next to Hope Island in Abu Dhabi.

The project is set to cost over 280 million USD and will be the first of its kind globally.

IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, is significantly expanding its UAE presence through a strategic partnership with Aldar, the country’s leading real estate developer, investor, and manager.

Through this landmark collaboration, IHG and Aldar will undertake a major repositioning project on Yas Island to transform six hotels within the Yas Plaza complex into a single integrated Vignette Collection resort. The franchise agreement involves the refurbishment and conversion of the current hotels into distinct properties within the newly named Straylight Yas, Vignette Collection. A key element of the project is to open private beach access to the complex for the first time.

The ultimate transformation will add 1,389 keys to IHG’s expanding UAE portfolio. The single operator model is designed to streamline and consolidate the property’s reputation as a premier integrated resort destination that provides diverse experiences under one unified identity.

Miral announced the development of two beaches at Yas Bay Waterfront. Complementing the existing lifestyle and leisure offerings at the destination, the beaches will span a length of 280 meters.

Located on the west side of the pier, the West Beach has been designed as a family destination and will feature beachside play areas for children, dining outlets, food trucks, pedestrian walkways, as well as rest and recreation facilities. East Beach, located on the east side of the pier and across Etihad Arena, will feature outdoor fitness spaces and sports zones for beach football and volleyball.

Jonathan Brown, Chief Portfolio Officer, Miral, said: “We are pleased to enhance our leisure and lifestyle offerings at Yas Bay Waterfront with the announcement of two beach developments. These upcoming experiences are an extension of our vision to enrich the diverse and unique experiences available to visitors on Yas Island, positioning it as a top global destination for leisure and entertainment while further contributing to Abu Dhabi’s wider tourism growth.”

The beaches will serve as an addition to leisure and lifestyle experiences at Yas Bay Waterfront, home to over 20 al fresco restaurants and cafés, a floating beach club, a concert arena, luxury hotels and an expansive promenade.

Located in Abu Dhabi directly opposite the Yas Marina Island hotel. The site was awkwardly shaped and called for innovation and aesthetic prowess given its exposure. Brodway Malyan were appointed by Aldar to deliver a building with the main drivers being cost and efficiency as well as artistic application. Working on this project my main objectives were to work directly under the lead architect in designing this building. I had an extremely big part in the design of this building and modelled countless design options for all facets of the project. I would piece together design packages and liaise with the client and sub contractors in order to progress the design. The project is on going and looks to be a flagship Aldar building - the same team requested by Aldar for continued work.
