Costa Mare is a large beachfront residential development by Ellington Properties on Island 2 of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. The project comprises four interconnected towers with 941 residences and direct private beach access.

Most of the development is sold. Current developer availability is limited to selected 2-bedroom apartments, while other unit types may become available through the secondary market.

A current developer promotion offers a 7% net annual ROI for four years after handover on qualifying properties. Buyers should confirm the eligible units, payment conditions, owner-use restrictions and complete return terms in writing before purchase.

Residences and Unit Types

Costa Mare offers a broad residential mix across four towers. The original selection ranges from studios to large duplexes and podium villas.

• 2-bedroom apartments
• 2-bedroom plus study apartments
• 3-bedroom apartments
• 1, 2 and 3-bedroom duplexes
• 5-bedroom podium villas

Current direct developer availability is limited to selected 2-bedroom residences. Buyers interested in studios, 1-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom properties, duplexes or villas should enquire about resale availability.

The residences include floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies, with views depending on the tower, floor and orientation. Selected units face the Arabian Gulf, while others overlook the island, landscaped areas or surrounding community.

Interior specifications include:

• Oak flooring in bedrooms
• Built-in wardrobes with soft-close drawers
• Custom kitchen cabinetry
• Integrated kitchen appliances
• Stone island counters in selected layouts
• Branded bathroom fixtures
• Artisanal tiling and fitted medicine cabinets

Homes are delivered unfurnished. Resale buyers should check whether the original owner has added furniture, upgrades or modifications.

Private Beach and Amenities

Costa Mare includes a resort-scale collection of amenities built around its direct private beach and shared landscaped hub.

The four towers are connected around a central lifestyle level, allowing residents to access pools, social areas and wellness facilities within the development.

Main amenities include:

• Direct private beach access
• Ground-level leisure pool
• Elevated family pool
• Lap pool
• Indoor climate-controlled pool
• Pool bar
• Residents’ club lounge
• Indoor cinema
• Children’s play area
• Teens club
• Nursery and baby-changing facilities
• Ocean-facing fitness center
• Outdoor fitness stations
• Coastal running track
• Yoga studio
• Spa, sauna and jacuzzi
• Paddle tennis court
• Sky lounge
• Private dining room
• Landscaped social spaces
• AI-supported concierge service

The project is pet friendly, subject to the final community and building-management rules.

Architecture and Design

Costa Mare is designed around the contrast between the Hajar Mountains and the Arabian Gulf.

The exterior uses earthy colors and locally influenced textures to connect the architecture with Ras Al Khaimah’s coastal environment. Bridges link the four towers, creating a connected residential community rather than four separate buildings.

A central landscaped level brings together pools, greenery, social areas and walking spaces. This design gives residents access to shared facilities while maintaining separate residential towers.

Payment Plan and Resale

The original payment plan requires 70% during construction and 30% at handover. There is no post-handover payment plan.

Key commercial details include:

• During construction: 70%
• At handover: 30%
• Expected handover: Q3 2028
• Resale threshold: After 30% of the purchase price has been paid
• Service charge: Approximately AED 19 per sq. ft. annually
• Current availability: Selected 2-bedroom developer units and resale properties
• Short-term rentals: Permitted, subject to applicable approvals

Resale buyers should compare the original purchase price, amount already paid, seller premium and remaining developer installments before deciding.

The 4% Ras Al Khaimah property registration fee is normally payable by the buyer before handover unless the developer confirms a waiver or special promotion in writing.

7% Net ROI Promotion

A current developer promotion offers a 7% net annual ROI for four years after handover on qualifying Costa Mare units.

The offer may appeal to buyers who want greater income visibility during the first four years of ownership. However, it should not be treated as applying automatically to every property.

Buyers should confirm:

• Which 2-bedroom units qualify
• When the four-year return period begins
• Whether the return is calculated on the full purchase price
• Payment and handover conditions
• Owner-use restrictions
• Short-term rental restrictions during the return period
• Treatment of service charges and maintenance costs
• Early resale conditions
• The company providing the return commitment

All ROI terms should be included in the reservation form, sale and purchase agreement or a separate signed addendum.

Investment Considerations

Costa Mare may appeal to buyers seeking an Ellington-developed residence with direct private beach access on Al Marjan Island.

Potential advantages include:

• Design-led development by Ellington Properties
• Direct private beach access
• Four interconnected residential towers
• Extensive resort-style amenities
• Selected 2-bedroom units available from the developer
• Other property types potentially available through resale
• Short-term rental flexibility
• Resale permitted after 30% has been paid
• Current 7% net ROI offer for four years on qualifying units
• Q3 2028 expected completion

The ROI promotion may provide income visibility, but buyers should still compare the total purchase price, service charge, view, unit size, payment status and resale terms.

Who Should Consider Costa Mare?

Costa Mare may be suitable for:

• Buyers seeking a beachfront apartment on Al Marjan Island
• Investors interested in a qualifying 7% net ROI offer
• Buyers looking for a 2-bedroom apartment from the developer
• Resale buyers searching for other layouts
• Investors interested in short-term rental flexibility
• End users prioritizing a private beach and resort amenities
• Families seeking children’s facilities and larger shared spaces
• Pet owners looking for a pet-friendly development
• Buyers comparing Ellington Properties with other branded and design-led developers

Why Costa Mare Stands Out

Costa Mare combines direct private beach access, a large amenity collection and Ellington Properties’ design-focused approach.

The four connected towers create a shared residential environment with pools, landscaped areas, wellness facilities and social spaces. The current 7% net annual ROI promotion may further distinguish selected 2-bedroom residences from competing properties.

The main consideration is availability. Direct developer inventory is now limited to selected 2-bedroom apartments, while buyers looking for other unit types will need to monitor the resale market.
