Al Marjan Island is a coral-shaped archipelago of four connected man-made islands in Ras Al Khaimah, developed by Marjan, the RAK government-backed master developer of freehold real estate. Reclamation began in 2004 and the island opened in 2013, and it now covers 2.7 square kilometres with 7.8km of beaches and 23km of waterfront. It is RAK's primary off-plan launch zone in 2026, driven by the upcoming Wynn Al Marjan Island integrated resort — the UAE's first — which will feature more than 1,530 accommodations, signature dining, luxury retail, wellness facilities and a 145,000 sq ft meetings and events centre, with opening confirmed for September 2027. The island is a designated freehold zone, giving foreign nationals full ownership rights. Residents rely on nearby Al Hamra Village for schools, clinics and retail — including Al Hamra Golf Club, Al Hamra Mall and Al Hamra Marina — with the nearest major hospital, SKSH, around 15 minutes away.
