Edge Raha Island

Edge Raha Island is a single residential building by RAK Properties, positioned within the Mina Al Arab district on Raha Island in Ras Al Khaimah, with completion scheduled for Q2 2027.

# The building and its setting in Mina Al Arab

Mina Al Arab has become one of Ras Al Khaimah's most coherent waterfront addresses, organised around a network of canals, mangroves and Gulf-facing promenades. Edge sits within this framework on Raha Island, the development's natural focal point, where the site is defined by water on multiple sides and views that extend across the Arabian Gulf.

The project is a single building. That scale matters. Rather than a dense cluster of towers, Edge offers a contained residential environment where the surrounding landscape remains legible and accessible. The yacht-inspired design language referenced by the developer translates, architecturally, into a building that prioritises horizontal sightlines and a close relationship with the water rather than vertical spectacle.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The available data points to a single unit size of approximately 1,160 sq ft, priced at AED 2,104,000. That configuration suggests a consistent, mid-sized apartment format, likely two bedrooms, designed to work equally well as a primary residence and a second home.

Residences are delivered unfurnished, which is a practical advantage for buyers with established preferences or existing furniture. It also indicates that the specification is finished to a standard that warrants the buyer's own furnishing choices rather than a developer package.

Service charges are quoted at AED 13 to 15 per sq ft annually, a figure that sits within the normal range for a managed waterfront community in Ras Al Khaimah and reflects the shared amenity load across the building.

# Amenities and the rhythm of daily life

The amenity list is focused rather than exhaustive. A pool, gym, barbecue area, outdoor children's area, skating area, and a lounge and bar with relaxed seating account for the communal offer. Nothing on the list is decorative or implausible; each facility serves a specific daily function.

The skating area is an unusual inclusion, one that signals an intention to serve families with older children rather than simply ticking a wellness checklist. The barbecue area and lounge reinforce a communal social register, suitable for the kind of resort-adjacent lifestyle Raha Island encourages.

# Position, access and the Ras Al Khaimah context

Ras Al Khaimah sits roughly an hour's drive from Dubai International Airport, a commute that positions Mina Al Arab as viable for buyers who split time between the two emirates or who prioritise the quieter pace of RAK without fully disconnecting from Dubai's infrastructure.

The emirate has attracted serious hotel operators and a growing residential population over the past several years. That trajectory adds weight to a purchase here beyond the lifestyle case alone.

# Who this building suits, and where it sits in the market

At AED 2.1 million for a 1,160 sq ft apartment in a waterfront island setting, Edge represents a particular kind of value proposition: access to a managed, amenity-rich environment at a price point that Dubai's marina districts stopped offering some years ago.

The buyer profile is specific. This is not a city apartment for someone commuting daily. It suits a GCC buyer looking for a Gulf-facing weekend retreat, a European or British investor seeking yield in a lower-saturation market, or a retiree or semi-retiree drawn to the natural environment around Mina Al Arab. The unfurnished delivery and island address together suggest RAK Properties is targeting owners rather than short-term rental operators.

With completion in Q2 2027 and construction under way, the timeline is close enough to be credible and distant enough to offer entry at pre-completion pricing.
