    Westin hotel and residences

  2. This new Marriot resort and residences is due to open in 2026 opposite the Wynn.





    US-based Wow Resorts and Marriott International have started the construction works on the JW Marriott resort and residential development on Al-Marjan Island in the UAE emirate of Ras Al-Khaimah.The enabling works have begun and are being undertaken by the local firm Atlas Star Piling Foundation.

    US-based architect Tony Ashai and Dubai-based consultant Architectural Design Unit are the project’s design consultants. The estimated $1.3bn development is expected to be ready by 2026. The project will feature 524 one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom residential apartments and a 300-key resort.

    The development was launched in November 2023.

    The Ras Al-Khaimah real estate market has seen significant investments in recent years. Several new projects have been announced, especially in the Al-Marjan Island area. The US’ Wynn Resorts, which is establishing the UAE’s first gaming resort, has buoyed real estate demand in the UAE northern emirate. The resort is under construction and anticipated to be completed by 2027. GlobalData expects the construction industry in the UAE to register annual growth of 3.9% from 2025 to 2027, supported by investments in infrastructure, renewable energy, oil and gas, housing, industrial and tourism projects.

    The residential construction sector was expected to expand by 5.5% in real terms in 2024, before recording an annual average growth rate of 2.7% between 2025 and 2028, supported by private investments in the residential housing sector, along with the government’s initiatives to meet the rising housing demand domestically.

    World's highest rooftop beach to be built on RAK’s Al Marjan Island

    The UAE-based Major Developers on Tuesday announced the launch of Dh1-billion Manta Bay on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al-Khaimah, including the world’s first rooftop beach. Construction work on the project has already started and is scheduled to complete at the end of 2026.

    It will be the highest beach in the world with its own sand and seawater, the developer said.

    The residential freehold project will be built for Dh400 million, housing 450 units with prices starting from Dh1.2 million.

    “We believe that it is high time to invest in Ras al Khaimah because the emirate will see a massive inflow of tourists, especially after the opening of the Wynn Resort on the Marjan Island.”

  8. Interesting that Marriott is now entering Marjan with all its brand power.

    Until recently it looked like Marjan had an almost exclusive deal with Hilton.
