Nikki Beach Residences Al Marjan Island Overview
Nikki Beach Residences Al Marjan Island, also searched as Nikki Beach Residences RAK, is a serviced beachfront residential development on Island 1, Ras Al Khaimah. Developed by Aldar and operated under the globally recognized Nikki Beach brand, the project combines private residential ownership with resort services, direct beach access, wellness facilities, and permitted short-term rentals.
The original collection includes 1, 2, 3, and 4-bedroom residences, plus 5-bedroom Sky Villas and Sky Terrace homes. Furnished and unfurnished options were released depending on the selected tower and residence.
Most direct developer inventory is sold out. A limited selection of 3-bedroom residences may remain available from Aldar, subject to confirmation. Most other opportunities are now available through individual resale listings.
Current resale opportunities may start from approximately AED 2 million, around USD 545,000. Prices, furnishing, views, sizes, seller-paid amounts, and remaining payment schedules vary by residence and must be confirmed before reservation.
Current Nikki Beach Residences Availability
Most residences at Nikki Beach Residences have sold out directly from the developer. Only a limited selection of 3-bedroom residences may remain available from Aldar, subject to the latest inventory confirmation.
Most other bedroom types are now available through the resale market. Each resale residence has its own asking price, seller-paid amount, remaining payment plan, furnishing status, view, and transfer position.
Buyers should check current developer availability and available Nikki Beach Residences resale units before making a decision.
