Payments follow the developer's plan. Income begins after handover in March 2028, so 2028 shows nine months. The net cash column is your cash position each year once income is set against the payment due. Yields for the part years, 2028 and 2031, are annualised so every year compares like for like.

Important Assumptions and Disclaimers
- Current market rates. New five star one bedroom hotel residences on Al Marjan Island are achieving roughly AED 2,500 to AED 4,500 per night, as at September 2026.
- Occupancy basis. The 2025 publicly published figure for the emirate is 75% hotel occupancy, before any uplift from the Wynn opening.
- Income starts at handover. The unit earns nothing during construction. The first income year is 2028, and only for the nine months from the March handover.
- Annual service-fee payment timing. Annual service fees are generally collected through quarterly payments made in advance, although the exact billing schedule may differ by hotel or operator.
- One-year service-fee security deposit. For five-star hotel residences, it is common practice to hold a security deposit equivalent to one year of service fees. Subject to all outstanding charges being settled and the applicable hotel or operator agreement, the remaining deposit is typically refundable when the relevant agreement ends or is terminated. Treatment can differ by hotel, operator and on resale.
- Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E) and Operating Supplies and Equipment (OS&E) reserve. The calculator deducts an estimated 5% of gross room revenue from the owner's share for future replacement of these items. Hotel rental-program agreements commonly run for five years. At expiry or termination, the accounts are settled and the owner may enter into a renewed or new agreement. Any unused FF&E/OS&E reserve balance attributable to the owner may then be refunded after deducting expenses already committed for that apartment. The contract term and treatment of the reserve can differ between hotels and operators and are subject to the final rental-program agreement. The developer's and operator's own documents prevail over anything shown here.
- Property insurance. Property insurance is payable by the owner. It is separate from the furniture and operating-supplies reserve and annual service fee. The premium is currently unknown and is not included in this calculation. Mortgage costs and income tax in the owner's home country are also excluded.
- Capital appreciation is shown separately. Every figure in the cash-flow table and the investment position is rental income only. Any increase in the value of the property itself sits outside that model and appears only in the Capital Appreciation Scenarios section, which is a projection rather than a calculation.
- General guideline. This ROI calculator provides a general guideline only and is not tailored to every hotel, operator, development or unit. Different hotels may apply different management charges, revenue splits, service fees, reserve contributions, furnishing costs and payment terms.
- Indicative figures only. Everything shown here is a projection based on the assumptions selected above. These are not official figures, do not constitute an offer, a guarantee of return or financial advice, and no representation is made that these results will be achieved. Occupancy, daily rates, service charges, the operator's share and handover dates can all change.
- Exchange rates. USD converted at the pegged rate of 3.6725 to the dirham. EUR converted at 4.27, which moves daily.
Nasim Al Bahr ROI Calculator FAQs
What does the Nasim Al Bahr ROI calculator estimate?
The calculator provides an indicative estimate of the owner's potential rental income, annual property expenses, net cash required and estimated net rental yield. Results depend on the purchase price, residence size, occupancy and Average Daily Rate entered.
How is rental income calculated for Nasim Al Bahr?
Estimated room revenue is calculated using the selected occupancy and Average Daily Rate assumptions. Booking, distribution and credit-card charges may be deducted before the remaining income is divided between the hotel operator and the owner.
What is the rental income split at Nasim Al Bahr?
The calculator uses an indicative rental-program allocation of 55% to the residence owner and 45% to the hotel operator. The final terms will depend on the applicable hotel rental-management agreement.
What expenses are deducted from the owner's rental income?
The calculator includes the annual service and maintenance fee, utilities and the FF&E/OS&E reserve. Property insurance and any expenses not entered into the calculator are not included.
What is the FF&E and OS&E reserve?
FF&E means Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment, while OS&E means Operating Supplies and Equipment. The calculator estimates this reserve at 5% of gross room revenue to help cover future replacement and operational requirements.
Is the unused FF&E and OS&E reserve returned to the owner?
Depending on the hotel's policy and rental-management agreement, the unused reserve attributable to the residence may be refunded when the agreement ends or the property is sold, after deducting committed expenses. Policies can differ between hotels.
How is the estimated net rental yield calculated?
Estimated net rental yield is calculated by dividing the estimated annual net owner income by the property purchase price. It is an indicative rental yield and not a guaranteed investment return.
What does “net rental yield on property payments made” mean?
It compares the estimated annual net rental income with the property payments made by that point. It helps buyers understand the possible income relative to the amount already paid toward the residence.
What payment plan does Nasim Al Bahr offer?
Nasim Al Bahr offers a 50/50 payment plan, with 50% payable during construction and the remaining 50% payable over three years after handover.
Does any other hotel residence of this category on Al Marjan Island offer the same post-handover payment plan?
No. Nasim Al Bahr, part of Marriott's Luxury Collection, is currently the only five-star branded hotel residence on Al Marjan Island offering a three-year post-handover payment plan.
Does the calculator include the Ras Al Khaimah Land Department fee?
Yes. The estimated 4% land-registration fee is shown separately from the property instalments so buyers can understand the additional amount required.
Does the calculator include the administration fee?
Yes. The calculator includes the applicable administration fee as a separate cost in the payment schedule.
Are the rental-income calculations guaranteed?
No. All figures are indicative estimates. Actual occupancy, Average Daily Rate, operating deductions, hotel policies, expenses and rental income may vary.
Can the calculator display the results in AED and USD?
Yes. The currency switch changes the displayed calculations between AED and USD using the exchange rate built into the calculator.
