W Hotels and Residences Al Marjan

W Hotels and Residences Al Marjan is a branded residential tower on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, developed by Dalands Holding FZ LLC and scheduled for completion by the end of 2028. The project comprises 17 fully furnished residences, positioned alongside the W Hotel, with direct frontage onto the Arabian Gulf.

# The tower and its position on Al Marjan Island

Al Marjan Island is a man-made coral-shaped archipelago extending into the Arabian Gulf from the Ras Al Khaimah coastline. It has drawn significant hospitality investment over recent years, and the announcement of the Wynn Resort, which will be visible from this building's waterfront elevation, has reinforced the island's trajectory as a serious leisure destination in the northern emirates.

This is a single building. At 17 residences, the scheme is deliberately small in scale, which shapes both the ownership profile and the day-to-day experience of the building. Residents share the hotel's address, its amenity infrastructure and its service culture, while occupying a distinct residential offering within that envelope.

The island's beach runs to 0.8 kilometres from the building, with Al Hamra Roundabout around 6.7 kilometres by road and Al Hamra Mall roughly 10 kilometres away.

# Residences: layouts, footprints and finish

The building offers one- and two-bedroom configurations. One-bedroom residences start at approximately 1,067 square feet, with several units clustered between 1,085 and 1,113 square feet, and larger one-bedroom formats reaching up to around 1,597 square feet. Two-bedroom residences begin at roughly 1,591 square feet and extend to just over 3,044 square feet at the upper end of the range.

Pricing runs from AED 4,214,640 for the entry one-bedroom to AED 12,331,800 for the largest two-bedroom format.

Every residence is delivered fully furnished. The fit-out reflects W Hotels' branded standards, which are maintained under Marriott's quality framework. Kitchens arrive fully equipped. This matters practically for buyers intending to lease, since the residences are move-in and rent-ready without additional capital outlay. The service charge is set at AED 35 per square foot per year.

# Amenities across the hotel and residential floors

The amenity offer draws on the hotel infrastructure rather than a standalone residential gym or pool deck, which is one of the structural advantages of the branded residence model.

Facilities include:

# Pool and outdoor facilities

Multiple pool options are available: an infinity pool, a sea-view infinity pool, an adults pool and a family pool, alongside a beach access provision, sun loungers and a deck party area. The yoga deck sits within the outdoor amenity spread.

# Indoor amenities

A fitness centre, spa access, private cinema and residents' lounge complete the indoor offer.

# Location: Ras Al Khaimah connections and proximity

Ras Al Khaimah International Airport sits approximately 33.5 kilometres from Al Marjan Island. Little Captain Nursery is 1.1 kilometres away, a detail that matters for buyers considering longer-term family use rather than purely investment-led ownership.

The island's position on the Gulf coastline means road access runs primarily through the emirate's central road network. For buyers commuting to Dubai occasionally, rather than daily, the location is manageable. For those treating this as a primary residence within Ras Al Khaimah, or as a second home paired with a Dubai base, the island functions well on its own terms.

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

With only 17 residences, this is not a scheme built for volume. The buyer acquiring here is typically choosing the branded operator as the primary rationale, whether for personal use with hotel services on demand, or for a furnished, managed asset in a market that has recorded sustained short-term rental demand across Al Marjan's beach-facing inventory.

The Wynn Resort's proximity is a forward-looking consideration. Its development has already influenced capital values on the island, and buyers entering now at prices between AED 4.2 million and AED 12.3 million are doing so while the building is still at the earliest stage of construction, with delivery set for December 2028. The escrow account (reference 0023370519003) is registered, and the project is formally on sale.

For international buyers from the UK, Europe or Asia evaluating Ras Al Khaimah alongside Dubai, Al Marjan offers lower entry prices relative to Palm Jumeirah or Dubai Marina comparables at the branded-hotel-residences tier. The trade-off is a less established secondary market and a longer drive to Dubai's commercial core. For buyers prioritising lifestyle asset over daily-use convenience, the arithmetic is straightforward enough to merit serious consideration.
