Manta Bay

Manta Bay is a premium Maldives-inspired residential development by Major Development, located on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. It offers studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments with over 30 onsite amenities. The project is notable for housing the world's first sandy rooftop beach, situated 197 ft above ground.

Apartments at Manta Bay start from AED 1,300,000 (approximately USD 354,000). The range covers studios through to 2-bedroom units, each designed with practical layouts including a wet kitchen, maid's room, storage room, and laundry. Prices reflect the premium island location and unique amenity offering.

Major Development offers a 60/40 payment plan for Manta Bay — 60% is paid during the construction phase and the remaining 40% on handover. This structure makes it accessible for investors and end-users looking to manage cash flow while securing a unit in one of RAK's most talked-about projects.

Manta Bay is scheduled for handover in Q4 2026. The project is currently off-plan, giving buyers the opportunity to enter at pre-completion pricing. Major Development has a track record of delivering high-specification residential projects in the UAE.

Manta Bay features over 30 amenities, including the world's first rooftop sandy beach at 197 ft, a lagoon recreational area, BBQ zone, jacuzzi, cold pool, pool bar, spa, hammam, sauna, aquarium, cigar lounge, floating meditation deck, dance floor, padel court, beach volleyball court, yoga studio, and an indoor fitness area. More than 80% of the territory is landscaped.

Major Development projects an ROI of 10–12% at Manta Bay. For short-term rentals, 1-bedroom units are estimated to generate around AED 250,000 per year based on an average nightly rate of AED 769 and an 85% occupancy rate. Al Marjan Island's growing tourism infrastructure, including the upcoming Wynn resort, supports these projections.

Manta Bay sits on Al Marjan Island, a man-made archipelago off the coast of Ras Al Khaimah, approximately 45 minutes from Dubai. Nearby facilities include Little Treasures Nursery and RAK Academy British School Al Hamra. The island is also home to the under-development Wynn Al Marjan Island resort, which is expected to significantly boost footfall and property values.

Manta Bay offers studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments, all designed in a calm pastel palette inspired by Maldivian aesthetics. Key layout features include a maid's room, wet kitchen, dry kitchen, storage room, and laundry room. Interiors are designed to maximise natural light and create a resort-style living experience year-round.
