Oystra

Oystra Al Marjan Island by Richmind

Oystra is a freehold, off-plan residential development by Richmind on Island 2 of Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the project combines sculptural architecture, Arabian Gulf views, landscaped spaces and an extensive residential amenity collection.

The development is planned across four towers with approximately 850 residences. The collection includes 1, 2, 2-bedroom plus maid, 3 and 4-bedroom apartments, a limited collection of 5 to 6-bedroom villas and penthouses that have not yet been released.

Oystra apartments are planned to be handed over semi-furnished, while the villas are planned as fully furnished homes. Buyers should confirm the precise furniture, appliances, finishes and inclusions for their selected residence before reserving.

Current published guide prices begin from approximately AED 2.9 million, around USD 790,000. Prices and availability vary by release, tower, floor, layout and view. Buyers can request the latest Oystra inventory, AED and USD prices, floor plans, payment schedule and reservation requirements.

Current Oystra Prices and Availability

Oystra is being released in phases across different towers and residence types. The lowest published price may not apply to every tower, floor or orientation.

Current published guide prices include:

• 1-bedroom apartments: From approximately AED 2.9 million, around USD 790,000
• 2-bedroom apartments: From approximately AED 4.8 million, around USD 1.31 million
• 2-bedroom plus maid apartments: From approximately AED 5.4 million, around USD 1.47 million

• 4-bedroom apartments: Available on request
• 5 to 6-bedroom villas: Available on request
• Penthouses: Not currently released

These figures are guide prices rather than confirmation of live inventory.

Buyers should request the latest availability to confirm:

• Available towers and residence types
• Current AED and USD prices
• Floor plans and internal areas
• Floor levels and balcony orientations
• Arabian Gulf, island and community views
• Apartment semi-furnished specifications
• Villa furniture packages
• Payment dates and instalment amounts
• Reservation and registration requirements

The strongest Oystra residence will depend on more than the entry price. Tower position, floor, outlook, internal efficiency, outdoor space and intended use should be assessed together before a unit is selected.

Oystra Apartments

The Oystra apartment collection is planned to include:

• 1-bedroom apartments
• 2-bedroom apartments
• 2-bedroom plus maid apartments
• 3-bedroom apartments
• 4-bedroom apartments

Apartment availability may differ between towers and release phases.

Buyers should compare the net internal area, balcony size, bedroom placement, kitchen configuration, storage, maid’s-room arrangement and view direction rather than selecting by bedroom count alone.

Oystra apartments are planned as semi-furnished residences. The exact handover package may include selected fitted elements and appliances, but buyers should obtain the current specification for their chosen unit.

Loose furniture, decorative items and accessories shown in marketing images should not be assumed to be included unless they are listed in the contractual furniture and specification schedule.

Oystra Villas

Oystra includes a limited collection of approximately 10 villas with 5 to 6-bedroom configurations.

The villas are designed as larger-format homes within the wider Oystra community and are planned to be delivered fully furnished.

Villa layouts may include:

• Substantial living and dining areas
• Private outdoor spaces
• Private swimming pools
• Entertainment and cinema areas
• Office space
• Gym and wellness facilities
• Staff accommodation
• Rooftop lounges
• Rooftop pools or entertainment areas
• Multiple parking spaces

The precise configuration will depend on the selected villa.

Before reserving an Oystra villa, buyers should confirm:

• The final bedroom configuration
• Total internal and external area
• Parking allocation
• Swimming-pool specification
• Rooftop facilities
• Furniture and appliance inclusions
• Staff and service areas
• Private maintenance obligations
• Access to the wider Oystra facilities
• Current villa price and payment schedule

The villa collection is limited, and availability should be requested directly rather than assumed from general project marketing.

Oystra Penthouses

Approximately 6 to 7 Oystra penthouses are planned, but they have not yet been officially released for sale. Final penthouse layouts, areas, prices, payment schedules and specifications remain subject to the official release.

Buyers interested in an Oystra penthouse can register their requirements, but should not rely on indicative pricing or preliminary layouts until Richmind issues current sales documents.

Semi-Furnished Apartments and Fully Furnished Villas

Oystra uses two different furnishing positions across its residence collection.

The apartments are planned to be handed over semi-furnished. Buyers should confirm the included kitchen package, appliances, wardrobes, bathroom fittings, lighting, window treatments and fitted furniture.

The villas are planned to be delivered fully furnished. Buyers should review the final furniture schedule, brands, materials, appliances, decorative items and replacement responsibilities before purchasing.

The furnishing position affects the buyer’s total move-in cost and rental setup budget. Apartment buyers should allow for loose furniture and finishing items that may not be included. Villa buyers should confirm which items displayed in renders or show units form part of the contractual furniture package.

Zaha Hadid Architecture on Al Marjan Island

Oystra’s defining feature is its architecture by Zaha Hadid Architects. The design uses flowing forms, curved facades, layered terraces and a landscape-led approach intended to connect the buildings with their coastal setting. Official project material positions Oystra as the first fully residential development by Zaha Hadid Architects in the UAE. This makes the architecture a central part of the property’s identity rather than a decorative association.

Buyers should still assess each residence separately. The value of a specific unit will depend on its layout, tower, floor, outlook, privacy and price, not only the project architect.

Island 2 Location and Beach Access

Oystra is located on Island 2 of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah.

The project is positioned approximately a two-minute walk from beach access and is close to the island’s growing collection of resorts, residences, restaurants and leisure destinations.

Oystra should not be described as a direct beachfront residence for every tower or unit. Buyers should verify the walking route, beach-access rights and any separate beach-club conditions for their selected residence.

The project is also positioned within the wider Al Marjan Island growth corridor near Wynn Al Marjan Island. The exact outlook from each residence will vary according to the tower, floor and orientation.

Before paying a premium for a view, buyers should review:

• The exact tower and unit number
• Floor level
• Balcony direction
• Current and future surrounding plots
• Whether the view is direct or angled
• Foreground buildings or landscaping
• View wording in the reservation form and SPA

A current open outlook should not automatically be treated as a permanently protected view unless it is supported by the relevant project and contractual documents.

Planned Oystra Amenities

Oystra is planned as an amenity-led residential community with facilities for wellness, recreation, families, work and social use.

Planned facilities include:

• Beach club
• Crystal lagoon and infinity pools
• Sandy beach environment
• Beach pool
• Water recreation hub
• Family swimming pools
• Children’s pools
• Heated lap pool
• Wellness and fitness center
• Indoor and outdoor gym facilities
• Yoga areas
• Spa facilities
• Steam and sauna rooms
• Treatment and relaxation rooms
• Private training studio
• Mini golf and putting facilities
• Padel court
• Basketball facilities
• Family gardens
• Children’s play areas
• Pet-friendly park
• Private cinema and theatre
• Gaming and social rooms
• Business lounge
• Business center
• Co-working facilities
• Food and beverage venues
• Rooftop dining
• Convenience retail
• Concierge services

Amenities may be delivered in phases or subject to operating conditions.

Buyers should confirm which facilities are included in the estimated service fee, which require separate payment and whether any beach-club, food and beverage or wellness benefits have usage restrictions.

Concierge and Residential Services

Oystra is planned to include concierge services for residents.

Depending on the final service structure, concierge support may assist with:

• General resident enquiries
• Visitor coordination
• Maintenance requests
• Transport arrangements
• Dining reservations
• Amenity bookings
• Rental-management coordination
• Community information

The final scope, operating hours and cost of concierge or optional residential services should be confirmed before purchase.

Housekeeping should not be assumed to be included as a standard service. Buyers requiring regular housekeeping should confirm availability, frequency and additional charges.

Short-Term Rentals and Management

Short-term rentals are expected to be permitted at Oystra, subject to Ras Al Khaimah licensing requirements, community rules and final contractual documents.

Short-term rental management is available for owners who prefer professional support.

The indicated rental split is 80/20, subject to the selected residence and signed management agreement.

• Listing and pricing management
• Guest communication
• Check-in and check-out
• Cleaning coordination
• Maintenance support
• Rental reporting
• Occupancy management

Buyers considering rental use should confirm:

• Whether independent short-term rental management is permitted
• Which expenses are deducted before calculating the rental split
• Management and marketing charges
• Cleaning and maintenance costs
• Owner-use conditions
• Furniture and replacement responsibilities
• Reporting and payment schedules
• Termination provisions

Rental income, occupancy and resale performance are not guaranteed.

Results will depend on the selected residence, purchase price, view, operating costs, market demand, seasonal patterns and competing supply.

Oystra Payment Plan

The default Oystra payment plan is 60/40.

Under the standard structure:

• 60% is payable according to the construction-linked payment schedule
• 40% is payable at completion
• There is no post-handover payment plan

The precise instalment dates and percentages may vary by tower, release or selected residence. Buyers should request the current payment schedule and ensure that the final balance is planned well before the expected Q2 2029 completion.

The reservation form and SPA should be reviewed for payment deadlines, late-payment provisions, cancellation conditions and the treatment of any construction or completion delays.

Oystra Resale Eligibility

Resale is expected to be permitted after 30% of the property value has been paid.

Resale remains subject to:

• Richmind’s approval
• NOC requirements
• Cleared instalments
• Assignment charges
• SPA provisions
• Applicable registration requirements

Before planning an early resale, buyers should confirm:

• The minimum payment threshold
• Developer approval requirements
• NOC and assignment charges
• Whether all due instalments must be cleared
• Whether the payment plan transfers to the new buyer
• Any marketing or resale restrictions

A contractual ability to resell does not guarantee that a buyer will be available at the required price.

Service Fee and Ownership Costs

The estimated Oystra service fee is approximately AED 28 per sq. ft., subject to final confirmation.

The annual ownership cost will depend on the residence size and may also include:

• Utilities
• Cooling charges
• Maintenance
• Insurance
• Rental-management charges
• Cleaning
• Holiday-home licensing
• Furniture replacement
• Private pool maintenance
• Optional residential services

Before purchasing, buyers should review:

• Estimated annual service fees
• Facilities and services included in the fee
• Cooling and utility arrangements
• Apartment furnishing costs
• Villa furniture-maintenance responsibilities
• Rental-management charges
• Housekeeping costs
• Holiday-home licensing costs
• Maintenance of private pools or outdoor areas

Service fees and operating costs should be considered when comparing the total ownership cost and potential net rental return of different Oystra residence types.

Pet-Friendly Living

Oystra is planned as a pet-friendly residential development. The planned amenity collection includes a pet-friendly park designed to provide outdoor space for residents and their pets.

Pet ownership may still be subject to community rules relating to:

• Permitted areas
• Leash requirements
• Cleaning responsibilities
• Noise
• Lift access
• Short-term rental guests
• The number or type of pets permitted

Buyers should confirm the final community rules if pet-friendly living is an important part of their purchase decision.

Freehold Ownership for International Buyers

Oystra is presented as a freehold residential development for eligible UAE and international buyers.

Before reserving an apartment or villa, buyers should verify:

• The legal purchaser name
• Reservation and cancellation terms
• Registration and administration charges
• Payment deadlines
• SPA completion and grace-period wording
• Assignment and resale provisions
• Furnishing specifications
• Rental permissions
• Rental-management terms
• Service-fee obligations

Independent legal, financial and tax advice may be appropriate depending on the buyer’s country of residence, ownership structure and intended use.

Construction and Expected Completion

Oystra is currently at the piling stage. The expected project completion is Q2 2029. Construction progress, completion dates and handover timing can change.

Buyers should review:

• The contractual completion date
• Permitted grace period
• Notice requirements
• Inspection procedure
• Defect-liability provisions
• Remedies for delay
• Final-payment requirements
• Handover documentation

Construction progress should be assessed through current developer updates and official documentation rather than marketing images alone.

What Buyers Should Compare

Before selecting an Oystra residence, buyers should compare:

• Current availability and release phase
• Tower and exact unit position
• AED and USD price
• Price per square foot
• Internal and balcony areas
• Floor-plan efficiency
• View and orientation
• Apartment or villa furnishing package
• Payment dates and final balance
• Estimated service fee
• Short-term rental rules
• Rental-management costs
• Resale eligibility
• Beach-access conditions
• Completion wording
• Total ownership and move-in cost

The best-value Oystra residence may not be the lowest-priced unit.

A more efficient floor plan, stronger outlook, better privacy or more suitable furnishing package may provide a better fit for the buyer’s intended use.
