Frequently Asked Questions

Al Marjan Island is a 4.5 km man-made peninsula on the Arabian Gulf coast of Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. It comprises four coral-shaped fronds offering extensive beachfront living, and is situated approximately 45–50 minutes north of Dubai and 25 minutes from RAK International Airport.

Al Marjan Island offers limited beachfront supply by design, strong rental demand driven by tourism, and a major catalyst in the Wynn Al Marjan Island Resort — the first casino resort in the Middle East. These factors combine to create significant capital appreciation potential and above-average rental yields compared to more saturated UAE markets.

The Wynn Al Marjan Island Resort is the first licensed casino resort in the Middle East, located just 1.2 km from Marjan Beach. Operated by the globally renowned Wynn Resorts brand, it is expected to transform RAK into a major international tourism destination, directly boosting property values and occupancy rates on the island.

Al Marjan Island offers a range of residential options including beachfront apartments, luxury penthouses, townhouses, and branded residences. Many developments are positioned directly on the waterline or within walking distance of the beach, with several off-plan projects launched by leading UAE developers targeting both end-users and investors.

Residents of Al Marjan Island enjoy close proximity to Al Hamra Golf Club, the Royal Yacht Club of Ras Al Khaimah, Iceland Water Park, and RAK Medical Center Al Hamra — all within 10 minutes. The Wynn Resort is 1.2 km away, while RAK International Airport is a 25-minute drive, making the island highly connected and self-sufficient.

Yes. Al Marjan Island is a designated freehold area in Ras Al Khaimah, meaning expatriates and foreign nationals can purchase property with full ownership rights. Buyers may also be eligible for UAE residency visas depending on the property value, making it an attractive option for international investors seeking a UAE base.
