Wynn Al Marjan Island has unveiled plans for a 98-berth superyacht marina, positioning the waterfront facility as a gateway into its planned integrated resort in Ras Al Khaimah.

The marina, which Wynn says is being designed as a destination in its own right, will accommodate super and megayachts of up to 85 metres in length.

The company said it will have capacity for more yachts and larger vessels than any hotel-attached marina in the UAE, bringing arrivals by sea directly into the wider resort experience.

The facility is being designed by Marina Solutions International, with Fort Lauderdale-based IGY Marinas as the marina partner.

IGY will oversee marina operations, while Wynn said the facility will combine harbour management with its hospitality services.

For yacht owners, charter guests, captains and crew, services will include dining reservations, transportation, provisioning, onboard celebrations and tailored experiences across the resort.

I think this is the building. It looks like the back might be a gaming hall.

The built-up area of the integrated resort in the UAE will span more than 465,000 square metres – putting it in the same league size-wise as the brand's flagship resort in Las Vegas. The 70-storey tower will include 1,530 hotel rooms, plus 22 marina villas adjacent to the main complex.

While the gaming component has drawn the most attention, Tariq Bsharat, Marjan's group chief strategy and business development officer, says the resort will offer much more. “There are 40-plus luxury shops that will rival Fashion Avenue in Dubai Mall, as an example, as well as 20-plus restaurants, most of them curated by Wynn. There’ll be a large Mice [meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions] area, a beautiful spa and full-scale shows.

“We’re sticking to the March 2027 date and everyone’s working hard to make sure we stay on track,” adds Bsharat.

Beyond its scale, the project represents a pivotal moment for the northern emirate.

Earlier this month, Marjan Beach development was announced as part of RAK Vision 2030. Spanning 7.9 million square metres, the mixed-use destination is expected to accommodate more than 100,000 people living and working across the area.

Wynn Al Marjan, the UAE’s inaugural casino resort, is on schedule to commence operations in March 2027, CEO Abdulla Al Abdouli has confirmed. He was speaking in an interview with the Khaleej Times that was also cited in iGamingBusiness.com.

Upon completion, the $5.1 billion, 70-storey development – located less than an hour from Dubai airport – will boast a hotel tower with over 1,500 rooms.

It will also feature a 7,500-square-metre event centre, a spa, more than 20 restaurants, a shopping area, a marina, and 420 metres of private beach. The 20,900-square-metre casino will include a “sky gaming” area situated on the 22nd floor

Wynn Resorts secured the UAE’s first gaming licence, valid for 15 years, in October of the previous year, iGamingBusiness.com reports. Concurrently, the country established its General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority, led by US gaming industry professionals. Jim Murren, former CEO of MGM Resorts, chairs the authority, with Kevin Mullally, previously chief legal officer for Gaming Laboratories International, serving as chief executive.

The Arabian Post reports that Wynn has already secured land for a potential second integrated resort in Ras Al Khaimah, indicating “long-term ambitions for expanding its gambling and hospitality footprint in the UAE.”

Other operators are also exploring opportunities in the area, with MGM Resorts CEO Bill Hornbuckle announcing last autumn that the company is planning a resort in Abu Dhabi, with its licence application currently pending.
