Fairmont Residences Al Marjan Island

Fairmont Residences Al Marjan Island is a branded residential development by Ardee Developments, positioned on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah and scheduled for completion in Q4 2028. The project comprises 80 residences across six buildings, carrying the Fairmont name into a freehold ownership format for the first time on this particular stretch of the Arabian Gulf coastline.

# The Development's Scale and Position on Al Marjan Island

Al Marjan Island is a man-made archipelago built into the Arabian Gulf, roughly 38 kilometres from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport. Its four coral-shaped formations are linked by a central boulevard and are home to a small number of resort hotels and residential schemes, though the island remains considerably less dense than Palm Jumeirah or Dubai Marina. That relative scarcity of supply is a material part of the investment case here.

Six low-to-mid-rise buildings make up the scheme, a configuration that keeps the overall density measured. With only 80 units in total across those six structures, the project sits closer to a boutique resort compound than a conventional tower development.

The beach at Al Marjan Island is 0.6 kilometres from the site.

# Residences, Layouts and What the Numbers Say

The collection runs from one-bedroom apartments to two-bedroom units and includes a single category of three-bedroom residences. One-bedroom flats begin at approximately 845 square feet and extend to just over 1,133 square feet in certain configurations, with prices ranging broadly from AED 2.53 million to AED 3.43 million depending on floor, aspect and layout variant.

Two-bedroom units carry more variation. Floor areas span from around 1,425 square feet to just under 1,990 square feet, and pricing moves accordingly from AED 4.51 million to AED 6.41 million at the upper end. The largest two-bedroom units at nearly 1,990 square feet are generously proportioned by any comparison with equivalent branded stock in Dubai proper.

Three-bedroom residences appear in a single configuration at 2,946 square feet, priced at AED 9.68 million.

Residences are delivered unfurnished. Service charges are fixed at 34 to 36 AED per square foot annually, a figure buyers should model carefully given the Fairmont brand's operational requirements and the amenity load described below.

# Amenities Across the Six Buildings

The amenity programme is broad for a scheme of 80 units, which reflects the Fairmont brand's positioning as much as Ardee's brief.

# Water and wellness

A sky pool sits at the upper levels, supplemented by a kids' pool for families. Water sports facilities serve residents seeking direct access to the Gulf. Treatment rooms provide an in-house wellness function, positioned somewhere between a hotel spa and a private residents' club.

The fitness centre, residents' gardens, and a terrace bar address daily-use needs. A games room and screening room cover leisure in the evenings. The presence of a dog wash station is a small but telling detail: it signals that the scheme is designed for full-time occupation rather than exclusively for investment landlords and short-stay guests.

F&B outlets operate within the development, though the precise operators are not confirmed at this stage.

# Location: RAK's Island Address and Its Connections

Al Marjan Island Beach sits 0.6 kilometres away. Al Hamra Mall, the nearest major retail destination, is 9.5 kilometres by road. Public Park Al Marjan Island is 3 kilometres from the site.

Ras Al Khaimah International Airport, at 38.4 kilometres, is a 35 to 40-minute drive under normal conditions. The airport has seen increased connectivity in recent years, with direct services from a number of European and Asian hubs. For buyers arriving from Dubai, the drive from the city typically runs 60 to 75 minutes via the E11.

Ascencia Business School is approximately 11.7 kilometres away, which matters to families considering full-time residency rather than a holiday-use purchase.

# Who This Project Is Built For

The Fairmont branding does specific work here. It provides an internationally legible reference point for buyers in London, Geneva, Singapore or Riyadh who may be unfamiliar with Al Marjan Island as an address but recognise the hotel group immediately. That recognition carries an implicit quality assurance, and in the off-plan market it reduces the interpretive burden on the buyer.

At 80 units, this is not a scheme that suits buyers seeking liquidity through volume or rental yield through sheer availability. The combination of limited supply, branded management infrastructure, and Gulf-front positioning makes it more coherent as a second-home purchase or a long-hold asset for buyers already comfortable with Dubai or Abu Dhabi property and looking to diversify within the northern emirates. Prices start at approximately AED 2.53 million, with the bulk of the two-bedroom stock priced between AED 4.5 million and AED 6.4 million, placing it within reach of the same buyer cohort that purchases mid-floor units in Jumeirah and Business Bay without stretching into trophy-asset territory.

Completion is set for Q4 2028. Construction has not yet started, which is standard for a project at this pre-launch stage, and buyers should factor that timeline into any financing or occupancy planning.
