• Resale premium
• Amount already paid to the developer
• Remaining construction installments
• Unit size and layout
• Floor and orientation
• Beach, sea or partial Wynn view
• NOC and transfer fees

RAKcompare can provide current secondary-market options and help buyers compare available Astera resale units before committing.

Residences and Unit Types

The Astera includes one, two and three-bedroom apartments and a limited collection of three-bedroom beach villas.

The original property mix includes:

• One-bedroom beach residences
• Two-bedroom beach residences
• Three-bedroom beach residences
• Three-bedroom duplex beach villas

Approximate unit sizes include:

• One-bedroom residences: Approximately 682 to 1,297 sq. ft.
• Two-bedroom residences: Approximately 981 to 1,965 sq. ft.
• Three-bedroom residences: Approximately 2,443 to 2,730 sq. ft.
• Three-bedroom beach villas: Approximately 2,455 to 2,876 sq. ft.

Selected one and two-bedroom layouts include larger terraces and extended outdoor areas. The three-bedroom beach villas are arranged over two levels, with the main living and kitchen areas on the lower floor and the bedrooms and study positioned above.

Resale availability will depend on which owners list their properties. Buyers should confirm the exact internal area, terrace size, floor plan and payment status of each available unit.

Aston Martin-Designed Interiors

The Astera’s interiors were designed in collaboration with Aston Martin.

The design incorporates materials and details associated with the British automotive brand, including feature walls, polished finishes, metal detailing, marble-look porcelain flooring and built-in wardrobes.

Residences also include Duravit sanitary fixtures and Siemens or Teka kitchen appliances. Living areas have approximately three-meter floor-to-ceiling heights, supporting natural light and open views.

Although the interiors are designed in collaboration with Aston Martin, the residences are delivered unfurnished. Buyers should confirm the exact appliances, fixtures and finishes included with each resale unit.

The Aston Martin partnership relates primarily to the interior design identity. Buyers should review the branding agreement, final specifications and management documents before relying on any branded services or benefits.

Views at The Astera

Depending on the floor and orientation, selected residences may offer:

• Arabian Gulf views
• Direct beachfront views
• Al Marjan Island views
• Partial Wynn Al Marjan Island views
• Community or podium views

Views should be confirmed individually for every resale unit. Buyers should request the approved floor plan, orientation and current construction outlook before reserving.

A general project description should not be treated as confirmation that every residence has a sea or Wynn view.

Private Beach Access

The Astera offers direct private beach access, making it relevant to buyers seeking a genuine beachfront property on Al Marjan Island.

The podium-level amenity deck is positioned between the residential tower and shoreline, connecting the building’s leisure facilities with the beach. Beach access is one of the project’s main distinctions when compared with developments that are located inland or require residents to walk or drive to the waterfront.

Final beach access rules, guest policies, operating hours and any applicable charges should be confirmed through the building management documents.

Amenities at The Astera

The Astera includes resort-style facilities designed around beachfront living, wellness and family use.

Planned amenities include:

• Direct private beach access
• Infinity pool with Arabian Gulf views
• Pool bar
• Spa facilities
• Yoga lawn
• Fully equipped fitness center
• Indoor cinema
• Children’s play area
• Multipurpose hall
• Landscaped walking track
• Green spaces
• 24-hour security
• Four passenger lifts
• One service lift

Parking allocations include one space for each one and two-bedroom residence and two spaces for each three-bedroom residence or beach villa.

Final amenities, access conditions and operating arrangements remain subject to the approved plans and handover documents.

Island 4 Location

The Astera is located on Island 4 of Al Marjan Island, close to beachfront resorts, restaurants, promenades and Wynn Al Marjan Island.

Approximate travel times include:

• Wynn Al Marjan Island: approximately 5 minutes
• Al Marjan Island Boulevard and Promenade: approximately 6 minutes
• Nearby beach destinations: approximately 7 minutes
• Al Hamra Mall: approximately 10 minutes
• Al Hamra Golf Club: approximately 10 minutes
• Al Hamra Marina: approximately 12 minutes
• Ras Al Khaimah International Airport: approximately 30 minutes
• Dubai International Airport: approximately 45 minutes
• Downtown Dubai: approximately 60 minutes

Travel times depend on traffic, the property’s access point and the final Al Marjan Island road network.

Is The Astera Close to Wynn Al Marjan Island?

The Astera is located approximately five minutes by car from Wynn Al Marjan Island.

This proximity may support awareness and rental demand across Island 4 and the wider Al Marjan Island market. However, The Astera is not part of Wynn and should not be presented as a Wynn-branded residence.

Selected properties may offer partial Wynn views depending on their orientation. Buyers should confirm the exact view of an available resale unit before purchasing.

Original Payment Plan

The original Astera developer payment plan is 80/20.

The structure requires:

• 80% during construction
• 20% at completion

Completion is expected in Q4 2028. There is no post-handover payment plan.

Because The Astera is sold out, resale buyers should not rely only on the original payment plan. The remaining payment schedule will depend on how much the original purchaser has already paid and the terms agreed during the resale transfer.

Buying an Astera Resale Property

The Astera is now available only through the secondary market.

A resale buyer may need to pay:

• The seller’s equity already paid to the developer
• Any agreed resale premium
• Remaining developer installments
• Developer NOC fee
• Transfer and administration charges
• Property registration fee
• Agency or conveyancing costs, where applicable

Resale is permitted after 30% of the original purchase price has been paid, subject to developer approval and NOC requirements.

Before proceeding, buyers should obtain a complete payment statement showing the original purchase price, amount paid, outstanding balance and future installment dates.

The resale agreement should also state whether any unpaid charges, penalties or administrative fees remain attached to the property.

Service Charge and Ownership Costs

The indicative service charge at The Astera is approximately AED 16 to AED 17 per sq. ft. annually.

The final approved service charge may change before handover. Buyers should calculate the annual charge using the total applicable area shown in the sale documents.

Additional ownership costs may include:

• Property management
• Short-term rental management
• Utilities
• Insurance
• Maintenance
• Furniture and fit-out
• Holiday-home licensing
• Tourism fees
• Vacancy periods
• Mortgage costs, where applicable

The original 4% Ras Al Khaimah property registration fee is normally payable unless a written exemption applies. Resale buyers should confirm whether any part of the registration cost has already been paid and what additional transfer charges apply.

Short-Term Rentals

Short-term rentals are expected to be permitted at The Astera, subject to applicable licensing requirements and final building rules. This may give owners flexibility to use their residence personally, operate it as a holiday home or rent it on a long-term basis.

Rental returns are not guaranteed. Performance will depend on the resale purchase price, unit size, floor, view, furnishing costs, service charges, management fees, tourism demand and competing supply at completion.

Buyers should confirm whether independent holiday-home management is permitted and whether the building will introduce any preferred or mandatory rental-management arrangements.

Pet-Friendly Policy

The Astera is planned as a pet-friendly development, subject to final community and building regulations.

Pet owners should confirm any restrictions relating to breed, size, shared areas, lifts, beach access and outdoor facilities before purchasing.

Investment Considerations

The Astera may appeal to buyers seeking a branded beachfront residence with Aston Martin-designed interiors and proximity to Wynn Al Marjan Island.

Potential advantages include:

• Aston Martin-designed residential interiors
• DarGlobal as developer
• Direct private beach access
• Limited collection of 260 residences
• Large three-bedroom apartments
• Duplex beach villas
• Short-term rental flexibility
• Pet-friendly positioning
• Approximately five minutes from Wynn Al Marjan Island
• Developer inventory fully sold out

The sold-out status limits buyers to secondary-market opportunities, but it does not guarantee future price appreciation.

Each resale listing should be assessed using its original purchase price, seller premium, payment status, remaining balance, size, view, floor and expected ownership costs.

Who Should Consider The Astera?

The Astera may be suitable for:

• Buyers searching for Aston Martin residences in Ras Al Khaimah
• Investors seeking resale entry into a sold-out branded development
• Buyers prioritizing direct private beach access
• Investors interested in short-term rental flexibility
• End users who value branded interior design
• Buyers comparing property near Wynn Al Marjan Island
• Purchasers considering large three-bedroom residences
• Buyers interested in duplex beach villas
• Pet owners looking for an Al Marjan Island property

The project may be less suitable for buyers who require direct developer inventory, a post-handover payment plan, a furnished residence or a completed property offering immediate rental income.

Why The Astera Stands Out

The Astera is one of the few branded residential projects on Al Marjan Island where the partnership extends into the interior design rather than appearing only in the project name.

Aston Martin’s influence can be seen in the material palette, feature walls, metal detailing and overall interior character.

The combination of branded design, direct private beach access, larger residences and limited resale availability distinguishes The Astera from more conventional apartment projects on the island.

Its sold-out developer inventory also means buyers must assess individual resale listings rather than relying on launch prices or general project availability.
