Masa Residence

Masa Residence is a branded residential tower by Durar Group, positioned on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah and scheduled for delivery in Q4 2026. The interiors and common areas carry the YOO Inspired by Starck signature, the design practice built around the aesthetic philosophy of Philippe Starck.

# The tower and its position on Al Marjan Island

Al Marjan Island is a man-made archipelago extending into the Arabian Gulf along the Ras Al Khaimah coastline. Its four coral-shaped landmasses are joined by a central boulevard, and the island's outline mirrors the reef formations that give Al Marjan its name. That coral reference shapes Masa Residence directly: the building's fluid external contours are drawn from organic underwater geometry, a deliberate dialogue between architecture and the environment it occupies.

The tower stands as a single building. Every residential unit is oriented to carry a sea view, an arrangement that informs the floor-plate design rather than applying as a selective premium.

# YOO Inspired by Starck: interiors and specification

The YOO Inspired by Starck practice takes its cues from natural materials, layered textures and a restrained palette that references the surrounding landscape rather than competing with it. Finishes, surfaces and bespoke elements across the common areas reflect that sensibility throughout.

Units are delivered unfurnished. The kitchens arrive equipped. Beyond those two points, the available specification data is limited, and buyers are advised to request the full fitout schedule from the sales team directly.

Service charges are set at 16 to 18 AED per square foot annually.

# Amenity provision across the building

The amenity stack at Masa Residence is oriented around water and recovery. A main swimming pool sits alongside a bubble pool, with ocean-front gardens extending the usable outdoor space toward the waterline. An outdoor playground serves families.

Inside, a spa, steam room and sauna form a dedicated wellness cluster. A gym occupies its own floor area, and a residents' lounge provides a communal interior setting away from the pool deck. The combination covers the two demands most consistent among buyers in this segment: facilities for active use and space for recovery.

# Al Marjan Island as a location

The island offers 5.4 kilometres of sandy beach frontage along the Arabian Gulf, with water sports, hotel infrastructure and waterfront dining distributed across its length. Several international hotel brands operate on Al Marjan, which means the resort-level services surrounding Masa Residence are already in place rather than projected.

Ras Al Khaimah sits roughly one hour's drive from Dubai International Airport. The emirate has built steadily on its hospitality base over the past decade, and Al Marjan specifically has attracted significant investment in upscale residential and leisure development.

# Who this project is suited for, and where it sits in the current market

Masa Residence was offered during its sales window as a branded residence in a location that carries genuine leisure credentials rather than borrowed ones. The YOO Inspired by Starck association places it within a recognised tier of design-led projects, which tends to appeal to buyers for whom the architect or brand partnership functions as a proxy for quality control.

The project is now recorded as out of stock. For buyers researching comparable product on Al Marjan Island or across Ras Al Khaimah more broadly, JRE's advisory team can identify secondary-market availability or equivalent live developments at a similar specification level.
