The Strand Lunara by RAK Properties on Al Marjan Island

Lunara at The Strand is a residential development by RAK Properties in Ras Al Khaimah, situated in the Urban District of The Strand, master-planned in the Al Marjan Beach District. The idea revolves around the notion of “connected living” and “convenience living,” where residential properties are complemented by an “urban village” community that features amenities, facilities, and social areas as an integral part of one’s daily life. Lunara at The Strand is set to be completed in Q1 2029 and is envisioned as a long-term residential solution where the surrounding district is an important part of the overall value proposition.

Lunara at The Strand features 583 residential units in three separate buildings (A, B, and C). The residential offering is centered on apartments for sale, mainly 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units, with a few units of 3-bedroom penthouses. Every unit comes with a private balcony or terrace.

The facilities are conceptualized as a holistic lifestyle offering and can be analyzed through use cases. For families, there is a kids’ pool and playground for children aged 1-12, accompanied by shower and changing facilities for convenient daily use. For sports and wellness, there is a gym and yoga/pilates/meditation deck for residents. For recreation and leisure outside, there is a main pool with jacuzzi, shaded seating areas, shaded garden spaces, and viewing areas.

For community and socializing, there is a multipurpose clubhouse with lawn and screening area. For work and telecommuting, there are working areas and co-working spaces conceptualized within the “urban convenience” framework of the district. Daily practicality is reinforced through ground-level retail and F&B, visitor parking, and social areas of The Strand Walk.

Security features, building specifications, and technology are discussed in the context of contemporary residential standards. The development will incorporate cutting-edge fire safety systems, 24/7 security, and secured entrance lobbies. Sustainability and comfort features include thermal facade insulation and electric vehicle charging stations. Smart home features are discussed in terms of home automation for lighting and AC, and connectivity is enabled through fiber optics for high-speed internet/phone/data connectivity. Vertical transportation systems are conceptualized as two passenger lifts and one service lift per building, together with a 5 m double-height lobby design.
