Anantara Mina

Anantara Mina sits within the Mina Al Arab waterfront community in Ras Al Khaimah, developed by RAK Properties in partnership with the Anantara brand. The project spans two buildings and comprises a small collection of six residences, ranging from two-bedroom apartments to three-bedroom duplexes, with completion scheduled for June 2028.

# The buildings and their position on the water

Mina Al Arab occupies a coastal strip along Sheikh Muhammad Bin Salem Road, developed with the surrounding wetlands and natural dunes preserved as a deliberate feature of the masterplan rather than an afterthought. The twin-island layout gives the community a definition that most Dubai satellite developments lack: water on multiple aspects, with manmade landscaping that sits alongside protected habitats.

Anantara Mina occupies this setting as a low-count, branded residential offering. With only six units across two buildings, the project sits closer to a private residence club in scale than a conventional tower launch. That restraint shapes everything from the lobby experience to the service charge structure.

# Residences, layouts and floor plates

The two-bedroom apartments start at 1,843 square feet, priced from AED 6,065,000. A second two-bedroom configuration reaches 3,799 square feet at AED 8,784,000, a floor plate more typically associated with a three-bedroom in the broader Dubai market and one that points to generous circulation space and outdoor terracing rather than additional rooms.

Three-bedroom duplexes occupy the upper range, from roughly 4,740 to 6,277 square feet, priced between AED 14,668,000 and AED 17,117,000. The larger configurations almost certainly incorporate the boat dock access referenced in the project's design narrative, consistent with waterfront villa typology at Mina Al Arab.

Kitchens are fitted and equipped as standard. All other interiors are unfurnished, which suits buyers intending a tailored specification or those placing the property into a managed rental programme under the Anantara flag.

# Amenities and the Anantara service layer

The amenity list is focused rather than exhaustive. Villas carry private infinity pools. Shared facilities include a yoga studio, indoor and outdoor children's clubs, and a café and restaurant on site.

The operational model matters here as much as the physical amenities. Anantara's hotel management infrastructure implies concierge, housekeeping and F&B standards drawn from its hospitality estate, which distinguishes the product from standalone residential developers offering branded naming rights without the underlying service operation.

# Hayat Beach and the wider Ras Al Khaimah geography

Hayat Beach is effectively adjacent, at roughly ten metres from the development. The Lagoon lies three kilometres north. Ras Al Khaimah International Airport sits 30.5 kilometres away, a drive of under forty minutes under normal conditions, and the emirate's ongoing investment in direct international routes from Europe and Asia reduces the friction of using this as a primary or secondary residence.

Chubby Cheeks Nursery is 3.3 kilometres away, a practical detail for families with younger children. The community trails through preserved wetlands extend the daily routine well beyond the development boundary.

# Who this project suits and where it sits in the market

The buyer profile here is specific. Six units, branded hotel management, villa-scale floor plates starting above 4,700 square feet, and a waterfront address in an emirate that has consistently attracted buyers priced out of Palm Jumeirah without wishing to compromise on sea frontage. The service charges, at AED 28 per square foot for apartments and AED 25 for villas, reflect the managed-hotel model.

For international buyers, particularly those from the UK, northern Europe or Hong Kong who have watched Dubai's central districts compress in yield while Ras Al Khaimah retains relative value, Anantara Mina represents the kind of low-unit-count, operator-backed product that is harder to find on the Palm today than it was five years ago. Construction is at zero completion against a June 2028 handover, so the full payment horizon remains open, and off-plan pricing at this stage carries the typical early-entry premium over secondary market equivalents once the building is operational.
