The island reshaping Ras Al Khaimah — home to the UAE's first casino resort.

Al Marjan Island

Al Marjan Island is an archipelago of 4 artificial coral-shaped islands spanning 62 hectares off the coast of Ras Al Khaimah. In spring 2027, Wynn Al Marjan Island will open here — a $5.1 billion resort and casino complex, the first of its kind in the UAE and the country's sole commercial gaming licence. The announcement has already driven property prices up 20–30% per year over the past two years, with a further 20% projected in 2026 ahead of opening. One of the most compelling short-to-mid-term investment stories in the Emirates.

DE CIJFERS

De cijfers. Geen opsmuk.

Al Marjan Island is the standout growth market in the UAE in 2026: the Wynn Resort effect has pushed prices up 21% YoY from 2025 to 2026. The overall average for new apartments sits at AED 2,400–2,700 per sq ft, with unit-type breakdowns of approximately 1BR ~2,394, 2BR ~2,659, and 3BR ~2,618. Branded luxury residences (Nikki Beach 2,649–2,728, Address 2,676–3,500, Fairmont 3,373) occupy the upper tier. That said, Ras Al Khaimah is a smaller market than Dubai and is heavily tourism-dependent, which creates seasonal price volatility.
