With billions of dirhams in projects under construction and in advanced planning, Ras Al Khaimah is reinforcing its positioning as a competitive, future-focused investment destination
Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) continues to strengthen its position as one of the UAE’s fastest-growing investment and tourism destinations, with a new Dh25 billion master-planned coastal community announced on Marjan Beach, adding fresh momentum to the emirate’s large-scale development pipeline.
The newly unveiled 7 million sq ft integrated project will feature waterfront residences, landscaped gardens, lifestyle amenities, and mixed-use components designed to deliver a high-quality coastal living experience. Positioned opposite the upcoming Wynn Al Marjan Island Resort, the development underscores growing investor confidence in the emirate’s long-term trajectory.

A Broader Growth Story
The launch forms part of a much wider transformation underway across Ras Al Khaimah, driven by Vision 2030 objectives focused on sustainable urban expansion, tourism growth, and economic diversification.
Among the most high-profile projects reshaping the skyline is the multi-billion-dollar Wynn resort on Al Marjan Island set to become the UAE’s first integrated resort with gaming facilities. Its development has catalyzed a surge in hospitality, residential, and retail investments across the island.
In parallel, major master-planned communities are advancing across the emirate, including:
- Mina Al Arab – A long-established waterfront destination continuing to expand with new residential and hospitality offerings.
- Hayat Island – Home to premium resorts and beachfront residences.
- Al Hamra Village – A mixed-use coastal development with villas, apartments, golf course living, and marina facilities.
- RAK Central – An emerging commercial and business district aimed at strengthening the emirate’s corporate ecosystem.
Additionally, new branded residences, luxury resorts, and free zone expansions are being rolled out to accommodate increasing demand from international investors, entrepreneurs, and long-stay residents.
Strategic Development Trajectory
RAK’s appeal is underpinned by competitive property pricing, infrastructure upgrades, pro-business regulations, and a rapidly expanding tourism sector. The emirate has recorded sustained visitor growth, supported by its natural assets beaches, mountains, and adventure tourism — alongside premium hospitality developments.
The latest Dh25 billion masterplan reflects a broader market evolution: large-scale, integrated coastal communities designed to combine lifestyle, wellness, and long-term value creation. Rather than being defined by a single developer, the narrative increasingly centers on Ras Al Khaimah’s coordinated development strategy and its emergence as a diversified, high-growth real estate and tourism hub within the UAE.
With billions of dirhams in projects under construction and in advanced planning stages, Ras Al Khaimah is entering a new phase of structured expansion — reinforcing its positioning as a competitive, future-focused investment destination while preserving its distinctive coastal identity.
