W Hotels and Residences Al Marjan

W Hotels and Residences Al Marjan sits on the beachfront of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, developed by Dalands Holding FZ LLC and due for completion in Q4 2027. The project comprises 17 fully furnished branded residences within a single building operating under the W Hotels flag, part of the Marriott International portfolio.

# The tower and its position on Al Marjan Island

Al Marjan Island is a man-made archipelago extending into the Arabian Gulf from the Ras Al Khaimah coastline, composed of four coral-shaped landmasses connected by a central boulevard. The island has established itself as the emirate's primary address for luxury hospitality, attracting international hotel brands and resort-scale residential development over the past decade.

W Hotels and Residences occupies a front-row waterfront plot on the island, with direct sight lines across the Gulf. The adjacent W Hotel is planned to include approximately 300 rooms and suites alongside three restaurants, retail space and signature brand venues including the W Lounge and AWAY Spa. For residents, proximity to a full-service hotel operation changes the day-to-day quality of a second home or investment property in material ways.

The Wynn Resort, currently under development on Al Marjan Island, is visible from the building's waterfront orientation. Its completion will alter the profile of the island significantly, both for leisure demand and for property values in the immediate area.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The 17 residences span one- and two-bedroom configurations, ranging from 1,067 sq ft to 3,044 sq ft. Pricing runs from AED 4,214,640 to AED 12,331,800, with the larger two-bedroom units sitting above 2,800 sq ft and priced accordingly.

All residences are delivered fully furnished to W Hotels specification, with kitchens fully equipped. The branded furnishing programme means buyers receive a finished, operational product rather than a shell requiring further expenditure on fit-out.

The variation within the one-bedroom tier is notable. Some one-bedroom units reach 1,597 sq ft, which at that scale functions more like a large suite than a standard apartment. Buyers choosing within the one-bedroom range should examine individual floor plans carefully, as the size differences between the smallest and largest units in that tier are considerable.

Service charges are set at AED 35 per sq ft annually.

# Amenities and resident facilities

The amenity offering covers a sea-view infinity pool, a separate adults pool, a family pool, and beach access. Sun loungers, a deck party area and a yoga deck sit alongside a fitness centre and private cinema.

A residents lounge and spa benefits complete the list. The spa access specifically connects to the W Hotels operation rather than a standalone residential facility, which is a meaningful distinction for buyers who use spa amenities frequently.

# Connections and the surrounding area

Al Marjan Island Beach lies 0.8 km from the building. Little Captain Nursery is 1.1 km away, relevant for buyers considering the address as a primary or part-time family residence. Al Hamra Roundabout is 6.7 km distant, and Al Hamra Mall 10.1 km.

Ras Al Khaimah International Airport is 33.5 km from the island. For buyers travelling regularly between Dubai and RAK, the drive on the E11 corridor runs approximately 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic and departure point.

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

Al Marjan Island has attracted consistent interest from European and GCC buyers seeking a beach-fronted alternative to Dubai's denser urban addresses. Ras Al Khaimah carries no personal income tax and no property transaction tax beyond standard transfer fees, a position that aligns with what many UK and European buyers are already accustomed to modelling.

At 17 residences, the inventory here is limited by any standard. For buyers whose priority is a branded hotel residence with operational infrastructure and a confirmed management structure, the combination of Marriott affiliation and direct beach access on a plot facing the Gulf is the core case. The projected completion in Q4 2027 means buyers are acquiring off-plan with construction at an early stage, which requires appropriate due diligence on developer track record and escrow arrangements. The escrow account number registered with the relevant authority is 0023370519003.
