Al Marjan Island
Property
A four-island coral-shaped archipelago stretching 23 kilometres of waterfront along the Ras Al Khaimah coast. Home to 7.8 km of pristine beach, the upcoming Wynn Resort and the GCC's first Sheraton Residences, built by Atara.
The Established Freehold Archipelago Anchoring Ras Al Khaimah's Rise as a Global Destination
Al Marjan Island property sits on a coral-shaped man-made archipelago developed by Marjan, the master developer wholly owned by the Government of Ras Al Khaimah. The island is composed of four interconnected islets: Breeze Island, Treasure Island, Dream Island and Heart Island, covering a total area of approximately 115 acres positioned along the emirate's western coastline, near Al Hamra Village and Mina Al Arab.
Atara Development selected Al Marjan Island as the location for its first branded residential project outside Dubai. The decision was driven by the island's confirmed freehold status for all nationalities, the scale of government-backed infrastructure investment, and the arrival of the Wynn Resort as a transformational anchor for the destination. Atara's Sheraton Residences sits within this community as the GCC's first Sheraton-branded residential development.
Prime Coastal Real Estate Across Four Distinct Islands in a Controlled-Supply Freehold Zone
Al Marjan Island property covers a carefully curated range of residential types, each positioned within a specific island zone. The deliberate cap on total unit numbers ensures that Al Marjan Island property retains both its beachfront character and its investment grade over the long term.
Branded and Managed Residences
Al Marjan Island has become the preferred address for global hospitality brands seeking to launch their first or flagship GCC residential projects. Atara's Sheraton Residences, operating under Marriott International's Sheraton brand, is among the most significant of these. Branded residences on the island benefit from hotel-standard management, amenities and a guest relations infrastructure that owner-only buildings cannot replicate.
Freehold Apartments with Sea Views
The majority of residential supply across the four islands consists of apartment buildings positioned to maximise Gulf views and beach proximity. Sizes range from studios to two-bedroom layouts, with Atara's Sheraton Residences offering units from 725 to 1,392 sq ft fully furnished to Sheraton standard. Prices on Al Marjan Island property at the lower end of this category start from AED 2.4 million.
Villas and Low-Density Residential
The 450 planned villas across the island are limited in number by the available land perimeter. Low-density residential plots on Al Marjan Island property carry a structural premium built into the supply constraint itself rather than derived from amenity proximity alone. The island's coral shape means many villa plots face the water on multiple sides, a feature that is rare in the broader Northern Emirates market.

A Landmark Integrated Resort That Places Al Marjan Island on the Global Hospitality Map
Wynn Al Marjan Island is scheduled to open in spring 2027 as the UAE's first federally licensed integrated resort. The $5.1 billion project is built on a 62-hectare plot on Al Marjan Island and is being constructed to the same standard as the Wynn flagship properties in Las Vegas and Macau.

What the Resort Brings to the Island
Three Infrastructure Commitments Driving Long-Term Value for Al Marjan Island Property Owners
Ras Al Khaimah is undergoing the most significant economic development programme in its history. Three committed infrastructure investments are directly relevant to Al Marjan Island property values and the destination's long-term standing as a UAE address of consequence.
The GCC's First Exclusive Sheraton-Branded Residences, Delivered by Atara and Marriott International
The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort is Atara Development's first project in Ras Al Khaimah and the first Sheraton-branded residential development in the Gulf Cooperation Council. The agreement was signed with Marriott International in 2025, co-locating the residences with the existing Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort on the island's beachfront.
GCC First Sheraton Residences
The Sheraton Residences is an off-plan project currently in its development phase. The building rises 19 floors on Al Marjan Island's beachfront and contains 165 fully furnished studios and two-bedroom apartments ranging from 716 to 1,379 sq ft. Each unit is finished to Sheraton's international design and specification standards, with prices starting from AED 2.2 million and a 30/70 payment plan available.
As one of only a limited number of Sheraton-branded residences worldwide, the project offers buyers access to a global hospitality brand's service infrastructure, in-house management franchised by Atara, and the full amenity programme of the adjacent Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort. Over 50 resort amenities are included with ownership.
Handover is scheduled for Q3 2028. Atara's in-house construction team, Rakhat Construction, leads the build. For buyers considering Al Marjan Island property with a branded residence component, the Sheraton Residences represents one of the most clearly structured entry points available in the current market.

Al Marjan Island property sits along the western Ras Al Khaimah coastline, accessed via the E311 Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and the E611 Emirates Road. The location keeps residents clear of congested urban corridors while maintaining practical access to two airport hubs and the established retail and commercial centres of both Ras Al Khaimah and northern Dubai.
A Confident Case for Owning Al Marjan Island Property Before the Wynn Resort Opens
Al Marjan Island property sits at an inflection point. The infrastructure is committed and underway, the Wynn Resort is in its final construction phase with a spring 2027 opening date, and the broader RAK development programme is accelerating rather than speculative. Buyers who enter before the Wynn opens are acquiring ahead of the demand shift that a globally recognised integrated resort consistently produces in its host market. Atara entered this community with the Sheraton Residences at precisely this moment.
