Manta Bay

Manta Bay Al Marjan Island

Manta Bay Al Marjan Island is an off-plan serviced residence by Major Developers in Ras Al Khaimah, combining resort-style living with one of the most distinctive leisure concepts on Al Marjan Island. Also searched as Manta Bay RAK, Manta Bay Ras Al Khaimah and the Manta Bay project, the development offers studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments together with a limited collection of larger residences.

The defining feature of Manta Bay is its rooftop Sky Beach, planned approximately 60 meters above ground level. The elevated leisure area is designed around a sandy beach environment, pools, cabanas and panoramic views, while the wider Manta Bay masterplan incorporates landscaped areas, private terraces and extensive recreational facilities.

For buyers looking for off-plan apartments in Manta Bay, the development combines relatively compact entry-level residences with substantially larger layouts featuring terraces and outdoor space. Studios start from approximately 392 sq ft, one-bedroom apartments from around 619 sq ft and two-bedroom apartments from approximately 1,395 sq ft.

Manta Bay is also positioned close to Wynn Al Marjan Island, making it relevant for buyers looking for an apartment near Wynn RAK while retaining the flexibility of a serviced residential development rather than a conventional hotel-branded residence.

Manta Bay Apartments and Unit Sizes

The Manta Bay residences are designed across a wide range of apartment sizes, which means buyers should look beyond the bedroom count when comparing available units.

Studios range from approximately 392 to 774 sq ft, while one-bedroom residences range from around 619 to 2,111 sq ft. Two-bedroom apartments range from approximately 1,395 to 4,189 sq ft.

The substantial difference between minimum and maximum sizes is important. Selected residences incorporate much larger terraces and outdoor areas, so buyers comparing Manta Bay floor plans should check the internal living area separately from the total advertised square footage.

Manta Bay Sky Beach

The rooftop Sky Beach is the feature that most clearly differentiates Manta Bay from competing Al Marjan Island projects. Rather than relying solely on conventional ground-level pool facilities, the development creates an elevated resort environment approximately 60 meters above ground.

The rooftop area is planned with a sandy beach, water features, pools, cabanas and lounge spaces overlooking Ras Al Khaimah and Al Marjan Island. This is also a section where we can naturally reinforce the GSC searches for Manta Bay masterplan without repeatedly forcing that term into the opening paragraphs.

Manta Bay Payment Plan

The current developer factsheet shows two payment-plan structures.

One structure consists of a 5% booking payment, followed by 25%, then 2% installments every two months from months 2 to 30, with 40% due at completion. The alternative structure consists of a 5% booking payment, followed by 15%, then 5% installments every three months from months 3 to 30, with 30% due at completion.

The factsheet also states that units may be resold after 40% of the purchase price has been paid, subject to the developer's terms. For the live property page, buyers should request the current Manta Bay payment plan for the exact apartment because payment structures and promotional offers can vary by inventory.

Manta Bay Prices

Current developer material lists indicative starting prices of:

• Studios from AED 1.2 million (approx. USD 327,000)
• 1-bedroom apartments from AED 1.6 million (approx. USD 436,000)
• 2-bedroom apartments from AED 3.3 million (approx. USD 899,000)

Manta Bay prices vary considerably according to floor, apartment size, terrace area, orientation, view and payment structure. Buyers should therefore compare the actual available units rather than using only the advertised entry price.

Manta Bay Location Near Wynn Al Marjan Island

Manta Bay is located on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, within approximately five minutes by car of Wynn Al Marjan Island.

The location places the development within Al Marjan Island's expanding residential, hotel and entertainment district while remaining accessible from both Ras Al Khaimah and Dubai. Developer material places Ras Al Khaimah International Airport at approximately 30 minutes and Dubai International Airport at approximately 45 minutes.

Compare Manta Bay with Other Al Marjan Island Projects

RAKcompare helps buyers compare Manta Bay with other Al Marjan Island properties based on starting price, apartment size, payment plan, handover, beach access, amenities, rental flexibility and proximity to Wynn Al Marjan Island.

Manta Bay may suit buyers prioritizing a distinctive resort environment, extensive amenities, private terraces and potential holiday-rental use. Buyers who prioritize direct private beach access, international hotel branding or a lower-density residential environment may find another Al Marjan Island project more suitable.
