The island reshaping Ras Al Khaimah — home to the UAE's first casino resort.

Al Marjan Island

Al Marjan Island is an archipelago of 4 artificial coral-shaped islands spanning 62 hectares off the coast of Ras Al Khaimah. In spring 2027, Wynn Al Marjan Island will open here — a $5.1 billion resort and casino complex, the first of its kind in the UAE and the country's sole commercial gaming licence. The announcement has already driven property prices up 20–30% per year over the past two years, with a further 20% projected in 2026 ahead of opening. One of the most compelling short-to-mid-term investment stories in the Emirates.

CONNECTIVITY

Where Al Marjan Island sits.

The Wynn Bridge is currently under construction — a 548-metre, four-lane bridge that will directly link the island to the E311 and E611 motorways via a dedicated corridor. Completion is expected before the Wynn resort opens in 2027. The drive to Dubai via the highway takes just over one hour.

THE DATA

The numbers. No fluff.

Al Marjan Island is the standout growth market in the UAE in 2026: the Wynn Resort effect has pushed prices up <b>21% YoY from 2025 to 2026</b>. The overall average for new apartments sits at AED 2,400–2,700 per sq ft, with unit-type breakdowns of approximately 1BR ~2,394, 2BR ~2,659, and 3BR ~2,618. Branded luxury residences (Nikki Beach 2,649–2,728, Address 2,676–3,500, Fairmont 3,373) occupy the upper tier. That said, Ras Al Khaimah is a smaller market than Dubai and is heavily tourism-dependent, which creates seasonal price volatility.

LOOKING AHEAD

What's coming to Al Marjan Island.

Planned and under-construction developments that shape value and quality of life in the years ahead.

Leisure Under Construction

Wynn Al Marjan Island — Opening

A $5.1 billion resort and casino complex featuring 1,542 hotel rooms and suites, a 3.6-hectare pool lagoon, 24 restaurants, a gaming floor, marina villas, and a five-star spa. The first casino in the UAE and the wider Middle East. Official opening: spring 2027.

Expected: 2027
Infrastructure Under Construction

Wynn Bridge — Direct Link to E311/E611

A new 548-metre, four-lane bridge connecting the island directly to the E311 and E611 motorways via a dedicated Wynn corridor. It will significantly cut travel time from Dubai and is expected to enhance property values across the entire island.

Expected: 2027
Other Under Construction

Additional Branded Luxury Residences

Global luxury brands including Marriott, Nikki Beach, and JW Marriott are launching branded residential projects on the island. Most offerings include built-in rental management programmes with guaranteed returns during the initial years.

Expected: 2027
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?

Who Al Marjan Island suits best.

A strong fit if you're…
  • Short-term rental investors — yields of 15–20% once the Wynn is operational
  • Holiday home buyers and weekend retreat seekers — some of the finest beaches in the region, just over an hour from Dubai
  • Investors targeting strong capital appreciation — the area is still in the early stages of its casino-driven tourism impact
  • Buyers of branded luxury residences with built-in rental management — developer-guaranteed returns in the initial years
Look elsewhere if you want…
  • Those who require metro access or proximity to Dubai's downtown — the island is in RAK, roughly an hour's drive away
  • Families with school-age children — schooling options are more limited than in Dubai (RAK Academy and a handful of others are available)

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions about Al Marjan Island.

What makes Al Marjan Island such a sought-after destination in 2026?+

The imminent opening of Wynn Al Marjan Island in spring 2027 — the UAE's first casino resort and a $5.1 billion development. Since the announcement, property prices have risen 20–30% per year for the past two years, with a further 20% projected in 2026 as the opening approaches.

Is the casino legal in the UAE?+

Yes — Ras Al Khaimah issued an official gaming licence to Wynn in Q1 2024. This is the only commercial gaming licence granted in the UAE, and Wynn holds exclusive rights for an extended period. Regulation is overseen by the federal General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), which is already operational.

What rental yield can I expect from a property on the island?+

Long-term rental yields for apartments range from 8% to 12%. On short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com — particularly during peak tourist seasons — yields of 15–20% are achievable. Studios and 1BR apartments offer the highest buy-to-let returns.

How long is the drive to Dubai?+

From Al Marjan Island to Dubai Marina, the drive takes approximately 65 minutes via E11. To Dubai International Airport (DXB), allow around one hour. Al Hamra — the adjacent neighbourhood with schools and the shopping mall — is just 5 minutes away. The Wynn Bridge, due to open by 2027, will cut the journey to Dubai considerably.

What is the entry price for a property on the island?+

Studios in new developments: AED 1.0–1.3 million. 1BR apartments: ~AED 1.88 million (2026 average). 2BR apartments: ~AED 3.1 million. 3BR apartments: ~AED 4.4 million. Beachfront villas: AED 8–15 million and above. Branded luxury residences (Nikki Beach, Address, Fairmont, Wynn Residences) are priced at AED 2,500–3,500+ per sq ft.
