Shoreline by DAMAC at Al Marjan Island
Shoreline by DAMAC is a direct-beach residential development on Island 4 of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, and DAMAC's first project outside Dubai.
The project contains 411 residences: 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments plus a limited collection of 4 and 5-bedroom townhouses. Shoreline RAK is the first Babolex branded residence, created with French contemporary artist Vincent Faudemer.

DAMAC Shoreline Prices and Current Availability
DAMAC Shoreline prices now start with the 2-bedroom apartments that remain with the developer.
- 2 bedroom: from AED 4,535,000, approximately USD 1,235,000. 1,244 to 1,661 sq ft, averaging 1,453 sq ft
- 3 bedroom: from AED 5,500,000, approximately USD 1,498,000. Approximately 2,077 sq ft
Prices vary by floor, apartment type, balcony, orientation and sea view. Availability changes as residences are reserved or released. 2-bedroom layouts differ in shape, balcony size and view direction, so confirm the selected unit against the building plan. Not every 2-bedroom apartment has the same orientation or sea exposure. With only 46 three-bedroom apartments in the whole development, that category is the more limited of the two.
1-bedroom apartments formed part of the original Shoreline DAMAC launch. Buyers looking specifically for a 1-bedroom now need a developer cancellation or a resale unit.
Shoreline Apartments and Unit Mix
The 411 residences break down as:
- 191 one-bedroom apartments
- 168 two-bedroom apartments
- 46 three-bedroom apartments
- 4 four-bedroom townhouses
- 2 five-bedroom townhouses
Apartments sit across 16 residential levels in a U-shaped beachfront building, arranged around a central core with orientations toward the open sea, the beach, the surrounding island and the internal amenity areas. The 6 townhouses are at ground level with larger layouts and closer access to the beachfront, and are not in current developer inventory.
Shoreline DAMAC Payment Plan and Completion
The Shoreline DAMAC payment plan is 5/55/40:
- 5% at booking
- 55% during construction
- 40% at handover
There is no post-handover period, so the full 40% falls due at completion. Expected completion is Q3 2028, subject to construction progress and the terms of the Sales and Purchase Agreement.
Confirm exact installment dates through the official sales offer for your selected residence, since promotional terms differ from earlier launch schedules in DAMAC marketing material. The SPA should set out the booking payment, construction installments, completion payment, late-payment provisions and any permitted completion extension. The contractual completion date for your apartment takes priority over a general marketing estimate.
Shoreline Service Charges and Ownership Costs
The indicative service charge is approximately AED 22 per sq ft annually, giving:
- Around AED 27,368 for a 1,244 sq ft apartment
- Around AED 31,966 for a 1,453 sq ft apartment
- Around AED 36,542 for a 1,661 sq ft apartment
- Around AED 45,694 for a 2,077 sq ft apartment
These are estimates on the supplied rate. The final rate may change when the operating budget is approved closer to handover. Confirm which areas are chargeable and whether balconies and terraces count toward the calculation.
Residences hand over semi furnished, so budget for whatever the package does not cover: remaining furniture, window treatments and decorative lighting. Check the kitchen, bathroom fittings, flooring, built-in storage and installed appliances against the specification attached to the SPA. Marketing renders show intended appearance, not a confirmed furniture package.
Resale Before Completion
A Shoreline apartment can generally be resold after 30% of the purchase price has been paid, subject to DAMAC approval and the SPA.
Before relying on a resale exit, confirm the payment threshold, developer approval requirements, administrative charges, NOC requirements, outstanding installments, transfer procedure and any restrictions written into the SPA. Reaching 30% paid does not guarantee a buyer or a premium.
Direct Beach Access and Amenities
Shoreline sits directly on the beach. The building and its ground-level amenity areas are positioned immediately beside the water, so residents do not cross a road or travel through a wider community to reach it. That is the main separation from inland Ras Al Khaimah apartments.
Ground-floor amenities: adults pool, children's pool, aqua oasis, watersports area, running track, bamboo forest, underwater viewing deck, floating cabanas, floating bar, waterfront bar, gym, spa and direct beach access.Roof level: yoga area, zen garden, infinity relaxation area, panoramic viewing space and sunset bar.
The larger water-based amenities sit between the building and the beach; the quieter relaxation areas are on the roof. Confirm access conditions, operating hours and any additional charges in the final community rules.
Shoreline RAK Location and Wynn Al Marjan Island
Shoreline is on Island 4 of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, directly on the beach and close to the island's hotels, restaurants and other residential projects.
Approximate travel times:
- 5 minutes to Wynn Al Marjan Island
- 10 minutes to Al Hamra Mall
- 13 minutes to Al Hamra Golf Club
- 15 minutes to Al Hamra Marina and Yacht Club
- 20 minutes to Ras Al Khaimah Corniche
- 34 minutes to Ras Al Khaimah International Airport
- 56 minutes to Dubai International Airport
- 68 minutes to Downtown Dubai
Travel times depend on traffic and road access.
Shoreline is separate from Wynn and includes no automatic access to the resort. Its relevance is the nearby beachfront position and the tourism growth expected around Al Marjan Island. Views depend on floor and orientation, so do not assume every residence has a direct Wynn view.
Confirm the building's open-sea, beach, island and internal amenity orientations through the specific unit plan.
Babolex Branded Residences by Vincent Faudemer
Shoreline is the first Babolex branded residence. Babolex is the collection of French contemporary artist Vincent Faudemer, built around a crowned elephant figure influenced by childhood and popular-culture imagery. DAMAC previously worked with Babolex on the Coral Reef project in Dubai.
The Babolex identity runs through the facade, lobby and interiors rather than sitting only on signage. The building design also draws on water and sand dune themes, reflected in its flowing exterior form, interiors and landscaped amenity areas.
Babolex is an art and design brand, not a hotel operator. That means no mandatory hotel rental program, no operator fees and no owner-use restrictions of the kind attached to hotel-managed residences. Buyers comparing Shoreline with hotel-branded projects on Al Marjan Island should weigh that difference directly.
Is DAMAC Shoreline a Good Investment?
Shoreline may suit buyers seeking a larger beachfront apartment on Al Marjan Island with direct beach access, resort-style amenities and proximity to Wynn.
What it offers: a direct beachfront position, DAMAC as developer, Babolex branding without an operator agreement, large apartment sizes, extensive water-focused amenities, a 5/55/40 plan and resale permitted after 30% paid.
What to weigh: the current entry price now that only the larger apartments remain, the AED 22 per sq ft service charge, the 40% due at handover with no post-handover period, and the cost of completing a semi furnished home. Future rental income, capital appreciation and resale premiums cannot be guaranteed.
Shoreline RAK may suit buyers wanting a direct-beach apartment on Al Marjan Island, families needing a larger 2 or 3-bedroom residence, buyers who prefer DAMAC, buyers drawn to an art-led project, and end users who value pools, watersports, a gym and spa.
- It may not suit buyers seeking a low entry price, a studio or 1-bedroom developer unit, a fully furnished residence or an extended post-handover payment plan.
