Manta Bay

Manta Bay RAK is an off-plan residential development on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. The project offers serviced apartments, private terraces and an extensive collection of resort-style facilities, including its signature elevated sky beach.

Manta Bay Ras Al Khaimah is located on Al Marjan Island, one of RAK’s main waterfront tourism and residential destinations. The development is approximately five minutes by car from Wynn Al Marjan Island and within walking distance of the island’s shoreline.

Manta Bay is being developed by Major Developers. Buyers considering Manta Bay by Major Developers should review the latest construction update, unit specifications, payment schedule and Sales and Purchase Agreement before reserving a property.

Off-plan apartments in Manta Bay include studios, one-bedroom residences and two-bedroom residences. The project also includes a limited penthouse offering. Apartment sizes vary considerably because some units have larger terraces and outdoor areas.

The promoted Manta Bay payment plan is structured as 5% at the initial stage, 55% during construction, 20% at completion and the final 20% after handover over approximately 20 months. A separate 40/60 offer may apply to selected apartments, so buyers should confirm the plan attached to their chosen unit.

The expected Manta Bay handover date is Q4 2027, subject to construction progress and confirmation from the developer. Buyers should request the latest construction report because estimated completion dates can be updated during the development period.

No off-plan completion date should be treated as guaranteed unless it is contractually confirmed. The currently expected Manta Bay completion date is Q4 2027, but the Sales and Purchase Agreement will determine the official completion terms, permitted extensions and handover process.

The Manta Bay masterplan includes residential buildings, landscaped spaces, swimming pools, wellness facilities, sports areas and social spaces. Its best-known feature is a rooftop sandy beach positioned approximately 60 meters above ground level.

Manta Bay Al Marjan Island is approximately five minutes by car from Wynn Al Marjan Island, depending on traffic and the final road route. This location may appeal to buyers seeking an apartment near the island’s future entertainment, hospitality and tourism district.

Manta Bay is located close to the shoreline, with beach access listed at approximately seven minutes on foot. Its signature sky beach is an elevated rooftop amenity and should not be confused with a private natural beachfront directly outside the building.

Manta Bay may suit investors looking for a serviced apartment with resort facilities, short-term rental potential and a payment plan extending beyond handover. Its suitability depends on the selected apartment, internal living area, terrace size, view, service charges and total ownership costs.

Resale is generally expected to be permitted after 40% of the property price has been paid. The transaction remains subject to developer approval, administrative charges, the terms of the SPA and any applicable Ras Al Khaimah property-transfer requirements.

Buyers should compare the internal area, terrace size, floor, orientation, view, furniture package, payment plan and service charges of each available apartment. Manta Bay should also be compared with direct-beach and branded residences on Al Marjan Island to determine which project best matches the buyer’s intended use and budget.

Short-term rentals are expected to be permitted at Manta Bay, subject to Ras Al Khaimah regulations, building rules and licensing requirements. Optional rental management may also be available, but buyers should review the management fees, revenue structure and owner-use conditions before joining a program.

The availability report supplied on 14 October 2026 lists 3 residential units. The lowest listed residential price is AED 4,240,000. This is a snapshot, not a guarantee of current stock; unit sizes, views and prices vary by selected residence.
