Al Marjan Island

Al Marjan Island Area Overview

Al Marjan Island is a master-planned archipelago set off the coast of Ras Al Khaimah. Covering around 2.7 million sqm (29 million sq ft) and featuring 7.8 km of white sandy beaches, it comprises four islands — Breeze, Treasure, Dream, and View. Each island is zoned for residential, hospitality, retail, and leisure developments connected by a central boulevard and coastal promenade.The destination is located about 45 minutes from Dubai via Sheikh Mohammed bin Salem Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, making it a key link between Dubai and the northern emirates.

Masterplan & Development Vision

Al Marjan Island is the flagship project of Marjan LLC, the master developer of Ras Al Khaimah’s coastal communities. It was conceived as a premium residential and tourism hub attracting global investment and hospitality brands.

The island’s vision was accelerated by the announcement of Wynn Al Marjan Island — the Middle East’s first integrated resort licensed for gaming operations. Set to open in early 2027, the Wynn Resort will include 1,500+ rooms, restaurants, shops, an entertainment arena, and a luxury casino — expected to significantly increase tourism and property demand.

Complementing the resort, the masterplan integrates residential neighbourhoods, beach clubs, marinas, and retail promenades while maintaining sustainable coastal development standards.

Investment & Economic Outlook

Al Marjan Island has become a strategic focal point for international investment in Ras Al Khaimah and the broader UAE Northern Emirates market.

Tourism & Gaming Impact: The Wynn Resort (2027 opening) is projected to bring 5.5 million annual visitors to Ras Al Khaimah, significantly boosting demand for residences and short-term rentals.

Freehold Ownership: Available to foreign buyers with eligibility for the UAE Golden Visa on properties from AED 2 million.

Rental Yields: Average between 6–9%, with branded residences and beachfront projects achieving the upper range.

Capital Growth: High potential due to limited supply of prime plots and ongoing infrastructure enhancements.

Developer Confidence: More than 25 active projects are under construction by UAE and international brands (Ellington, BnW, Ardee, Mira, Durar, Mantra).

The creation of the UAE’s General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) in 2023 and Wynn’s gaming license announcement in 2024 cemented the island’s status as a high-growth investment hub for 2025–2030.

Lifestyle & Leisure

Al Marjan Island offers a resort-inspired lifestyle with five-star hotels, restaurants, spas, and private beaches throughout the archipelago. Notable venues include the Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island, DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa, and Accor’s Marjan Island Resort & Spa.

Residents can enjoy water sports, cycling paths, outdoor dining, and entertainment at the upcoming retail boulevard linking the Wynn Resort to adjacent residential zones.
