Wynn Resorts, Limited, a leading name in luxury hospitality, has revealed exclusive glimpses of its upcoming beachfront resort, Wynn Al Marjan Island, taking shape in the captivating landscape of Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.

Embracing the first beachfront oasis: a visionary project in collaboration

The resort marks a significant milestone for the company as its inaugural venture into beachfront luxury, nestled on a sprawling 62-hectare island extending gracefully into the serene waters of the Arabian Gulf. In a strategic partnership with Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding, Wynn Resorts is poised to introduce the region’s premier integrated gaming resort, heralding a new era of opulence in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region.

Wynn Design and Development, a team comprising over 90 brilliant minds in architecture and design, spearheads the creative narrative of Wynn Al Marjan Island. Renowned for crafting bespoke gaming resorts, the team’s prowess in conceptualization and execution remains unparalleled in the industry.

According to the press release, Todd Lenahan, President and Chief Creative Officer of Wynn Design and Development, shares insights into the resort’s architectural ethos, stating, “We envisioned the 300-meter-tall resort tower as a modern-day homage to Ras Al Khaimah’s historical significance as a navigational beacon. Our aspiration is for it to serve as a landmark destination, beckoning travelers from every corner of the globe to experience the allure of Ras Al Khaimah.”

Luxury retreat, theater, shopping: 

Boasting its private expanse of pristine white sands overlooking the azure Arabian Gulf and the picturesque panorama of Ras Al Khaimah’s natural splendor, Wynn Al Marjan Island promises an unparalleled retreat for all tourists who decide to visit the United Arab Emirates. With 1,542 lavishly appointed rooms and suites, including 22 exclusive Villa Estates nestled along the newly fashioned marina, the resort epitomizes indulgence in its purest form.

The meticulously curated ensemble of 22 dining venues, lounges, and bars offers an eclectic culinary journey, each space exuding its distinct charm with vistas of the beach and the expansive poolscape. Furthermore, guests can immerse themselves in bespoke theatrical productions at the resort’s state-of-the-art theater.

Spanning 15,000 square meters, the resort’s chic shopping esplanade is a haven for luxury aficionados, featuring an array of world-renowned boutiques. Additionally, a five-star spa and salon invite guests to unwind, while the expansive 7,500-square-meter meetings and events center stands as a testament to the resort’s versatility in hosting corporate gatherings and celebratory occasions.

Construction milestones and future prospects

Commencing construction in early 2023 under the expertise of UAE-based main contractor ALEC Engineering and Contracting, Wynn Al Marjan Island stands tall at 40 meters, with completion slated for the fourth quarter of 2025. The grand unveiling to the public is scheduled for early 2027, promising a paradigm shift in luxury hospitality within the burgeoning tourism landscape of Ras Al Khaimah.

Situated in close proximity to Ras Al Khaimah, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi airports, Ras Al Khaimah emerges as a frontrunner in the MENA region’s tourism sector. With its four enchanting islands, including Al Marjan Island, boasting nearly five miles of pristine beaches and 24 kilometers of waterfront, the emirate continues to captivate visitors with its blend of natural allure and world-class hospitality offerings.
