Overview

A destination unlike any other in the Gulf region.

"Set against the Yanis and Jais Mountains, enclosed by the Gulf, Al Marjan Island is Ras Al Khaimah's most iconic address."

Al Marjan Island is a man-made archipelago developed by Marjan, the master developer of Ras Al Khaimah. Located just 45 minutes from Dubai, it sits at the intersection of natural splendour and contemporary luxury, where turquoise waters, year-round sunshine and dramatic mountain scenery create a setting with no equal in the Northern Emirates.

The island stretches 4.5 kilometres into the Arabian Gulf and covers 2.7 million square metres of reclaimed land. It is divided into four distinct precincts: Breeze, Treasure, Dream and View, each with its own character, waterfront offering and lifestyle proposition, together forming one of the region's most sought-after property destinations.

With the upcoming Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE's first licensed casino resort, and a pipeline of international hotel brands, the island is entering a new chapter of global recognition and investment appeal.

The Archipelago

Four islands, one vision.

Each precinct of Al Marjan Island has a distinct personality, together they form a complete coastal community for residents, tourists and investors alike.

Breeze Island

The gateway to Al Marjan Island. Breeze Island welcomes residents and visitors with over 2,000 metres of waterfront area, a vibrant retail strip and a lively hospitality scene at the threshold of the archipelago.

Treasure Island

Life on the Island

Every kind of experience, in one address.

Al Marjan Island sits within Ras Al Khaimah, an emirate of remarkable natural contrasts and a lifestyle that celebrates the outdoors year-round.

Year-Round Sunshine

Over 300 days of sunshine annually. The island's temperate climate makes outdoor living a natural way of life across every season.

Pristine Beaches

7.8 kilometres of white-sand beaches lining the Arabian Gulf, ideal for swimming, water sports, and sunset walks along the Corniche.

Mountain Backdrop

The Yanis and Jais Mountains frame the island's skyline. Jebel Jais, the UAE's highest peak, is just 45 minutes away, home to the world's longest zipline.

World-Class Hospitality

From Rixos to Hilton to the landmark Wynn Al Marjan Island, the island is rapidly becoming one of the region's most prestigious hospitality destinations.

Investment Case

The investment case for Al Marjan Island.

Al Marjan Island has emerged as one of the most closely watched property markets in the Gulf, drawing capital from the UK, Europe, Russia, and Asia. The reasons are straightforward: a zero-tax environment, full foreign ownership rights, strong and growing rental demand, and a location that places buyers 45 minutes from one of the world's busiest airports.

The UAE imposes no property tax, no capital gains tax, and no tax on rental income. What you earn, you keep. For investors from high-tax markets in Europe or the UK, this fundamentally changes the return calculation compared to buying at home.

Ownership is 100% freehold for international buyers, with title registered directly in your name at the Ras Al Khaimah Land Department. There are no restrictions on nationality, no requirement for a local partner, and no limits on repatriating sale proceeds or rental income back to your home country.

The island's connectivity strengthens the case further. Al Marjan Island sits directly on the Emirates Road, 45 minutes from Dubai International Airport and 30 minutes from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport, which is expanding its route network. For buyers and their tenants, access is straightforward from anywhere in the world.

With over 45 active off-plan projects currently available, buyers have genuine choice across price points, handover dates, and payment structures. Demand from both owner-occupiers and short-term rental investors has kept the market active, and the arrival of the Wynn in 2027 is expected to materially accelerate that demand further.

For international buyers evaluating where to place capital in the UAE, Al Marjan Island currently represents the strongest combination of price, yield, and growth potential available in the market.
