The artificial archipelago of Al Marjan Island is one of the most sought-after destinations for buying property in Ras Al Khaimah. The coastal location extends 4.5 kilometres into the Arabian Gulf and consists of four interconnected islands. This is Marjan's flagship project — the road network and engineering, waterfronts, public spaces and resort hotels have set a high standard for resort living here. Al Marjan Island is about a 45-minute drive from Dubai International Airport and about 25 minutes from RAK International Airport, making it a convenient location for both residents and tourists.

All convenient infrastructure is located within a 10-15 minute drive. This includes Al Hamra Mall, a two-storey shopping centre with an area of approximately 37,000 m² with supermarkets, boutiques and restaurants, the adjacent Al Hamra Village cluster, and an 18-hole golf club. The resort infrastructure is complemented by the 5-star flagships Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah and DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island, beach clubs and marinas. Education and healthcare are covered without any gaps in logistics. Among the most sought-after institutions are the British RAK Academy Al Hamra, which operates on an adapted UK curriculum, and RAK Hospital with a multidisciplinary inpatient department and international wards.

Entertainment and leisure are the archipelago's strong points. Al Marjan Island has gently sloping beaches and promenades, water activities and yachting infrastructure, as well as hotel spas. Nearby are the Al Hamra Golf Club, restaurants in international brand hotels, family co-working spaces and kids' clubs. In terms of strategic drivers, the integrated Wynn Al Marjan Island resort is already under construction, featuring a hotel, retail, gastronomy, and a large event complex. As it opens, it will increase visitor traffic, diversify leisure offerings, and enhance the range of services available on the island.

For those considering to buy property on Al Marjan Island, the key advantages are the prime waterfront location with ready-made infrastructure, access to shopping and entertainment venues and schools, as well as convenient connections to the major transport hubs of Ras Al Khaimah and Dubai. The location will continue to develop over the next few years. Marjan is positioning the archipelago as a ‘new standard’ in resort urbanism, balancing residential, hospitality and entertainment components.

The benefits of properties at Aqua Maya on Al Marjan Island are not only their prime beachfront location and intimate scale, but also the economics of the area: demand here is fuelled by the growing tourist flow to Ras Al Khaimah and the shortage of high-quality coastal club-style accommodation. The boutique concept of the complex, with a limited number of apartments, naturally supports liquidity — buyers get an exceptional combination of direct beach access and modern layouts. At the same time, the rental market is a product for which people are willing to pay a ‘premium for the view’ and privacy.

An external driver is the launch of the integrated Wynn Al Marjan Island. This international brand, with a hotel, retail, gastronomy, and gaming component, will reshape tourist flows and MICE events, boosting solvent demand for property on Al Marjan Island and short-term rentals around the island. At the macro level, the emirate has already recorded a historic result — 1,280,000 overnight guests in 2024 and double-digit growth in tourism revenue. Such tendencies confirm the sustainability of the trend and set a benchmark for future occupancy. For buyers of apartments on Al Marjan Island, this promises potential capitalisation on the horizon before and after the launch of anchor projects, and for owners of property in Ras Al Khaimah, it offers the opportunity to enter an emerging resort cluster less than an hour's drive from Dubai International Airport, with the synergy of world-class infrastructure and brands.
