The Beach Residence

The Beach Residence is a low-rise beachfront development by Range Developments on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, comprising three buildings and fifteen residences priced from AED 1.99 million to AED 5.85 million, with handover scheduled for Q4 2026.

# Three Buildings, Fifteen Residences, One Island Address

Al Marjan Island is a man-made archipelago extending into the Arabian Gulf from the Ras Al Khaimah coastline, shaped across four coral-form landmasses connected by a central boulevard. The island has attracted a string of resort operators and residential developers over the past decade, and its 5.4-kilometre beachfront remains its principal asset.

Range Developments has positioned The Beach Residence as a deliberately small project. Fifteen units across three buildings is a considered scale for a beachfront site, keeping resident density low and preserving direct beach access as a genuine amenity rather than a shared resource stretched thin. Construction is currently at two per cent completion, with the project registered under escrow account 01434279101.

# Layouts From Studio to Three-Bedroom

The unit mix spans studios through to three-bedroom residences, with floor areas running from 564 sq ft at the compact end to 3,354 sq ft for the largest three-bedroom configuration.

Studios are priced from approximately AED 1.38 million and range in size from 564 sq ft to just over 1,157 sq ft, the latter functioning closer to a one-bedroom in practical terms. One-bedroom residences measure between 965 sq ft and 1,203 sq ft, priced from AED 2.57 million to AED 2.92 million. Two-bedroom units sit at roughly 2,147 to 2,215 sq ft across five configurations, with pricing between AED 4.30 million and AED 5.16 million. The three-bedroom residences, at 2,958 sq ft and 3,354 sq ft respectively, are priced at AED 4.40 million and AED 5.85 million.

Kitchens are fitted and equipped as standard. All other interiors are delivered unfurnished, giving buyers latitude to specify finishes independently. Service charges are set at AED 20 per sq ft annually.

# What the Amenity Package Covers

The on-site amenity offering is focused rather than exhaustive: a gym, swimming pool, BBQ area and children's play area. For a fifteen-unit development on a beachfront plot, this reflects the project's character. The emphasis is on the island setting itself rather than a layered list of internal facilities.

Residents have direct access to Al Marjan Island's beach, which provides the water-sports infrastructure, resort hotels and dining options that a small residential building would not replicate independently.

# Ras Al Khaimah as a Location Argument

Al Marjan Island sits roughly 45 minutes by road from Dubai International Airport and around 25 minutes from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport. Ras Al Khaimah introduced its own tourism and residency incentives in recent years, and the emirate does not levy income tax or municipal property tax, maintaining the same fiscal framework as Dubai for property owners.

The island's resort hotels provide a hospitality infrastructure that supports short-term rental demand, a consideration for buyers evaluating the yield potential of a furnished studio or one-bedroom unit alongside long-term ownership.

# Who This Project Is Built For

The Beach Residence is a tight, small-scale project on an island that has attracted significant institutional attention, including a Wynn resort casino licence awarded to Al Marjan Island, which is expected to open later this decade. That broader development pipeline gives the address medium-term relevance beyond its current footprint.

For a buyer seeking a low-density beachfront residence in the GCC without the price floor of Palm Jumeirah or the density of Dubai Marina, Al Marjan Island occupies a distinct position. The three-bedroom units at sub-AED 6 million for over 3,300 sq ft represent floor areas that are difficult to source at comparable per-square-foot rates on Dubai's established beachfront corridors. Studios and one-bedrooms, starting below AED 1.4 million, offer an entry point for investors treating this as a yield-generating asset within a portfolio rather than a primary residence.
