In a landmark move for the UAE’s real estate market, ATARA Development has partnered with Marriott International to launch the GCC’s first Sheraton-branded residences on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah (RAK). This premium beachfront development features 141 luxury units. The project marks a strategic expansion for ATARA into primary property development and signals RAK’s emergence as a high-yield investment destination rivaling Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
The signing ceremony, attended by dignitaries including the Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of master developer Marjan, underscores the project’s significance to RAK’s economic vision. With the emirate’s economy projected to grow by 4% annually from 2024 to 2027, this development aligns with Ras Al Khaimah’s rapid transformation into a premier luxury lifestyle and investment hub.

Why Al Marjan Island is the UAE’s Top Emerging Investment Destination
Al Marjan Island has become synonymous with high capital appreciation and robust tourism growth. Key factors driving investor interest include —
- The Wynn Effect: The ongoing construction of the $5.1 billion Wynn Al Marjan Island Resort, featuring the UAE’s first integrated gaming resort, is a game-changer for property values. Analysts project prices could reach AED 10,000 per square foot by 2030, a significant leap from current rates.
- Record-Breaking Market Growth: RAK’s real estate transactions skyrocketed by 118% in 2024, reaching AED 15.08 billion, with Al Marjan Island leading this surge.
- Tourism Boom: With 3 million annual visitors targeted by 2030, demand for short-term rentals and hospitality-linked properties is soaring.
Comparing Investment Value: Al Marjan Island vs. Dubai
For investors seeking higher entry affordability and significant appreciation potential, Al Marjan Island presents a compelling case —
- Price Gap Advantage: Luxury apartments on Al Marjan Island average AED 1,200-1,800 per square foot, compared to AED 3,500-5,500+ on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah.
- Branded Residence Premium: Branded units in RAK command AED 2,500+ per square foot, offering luxury at a comparative value.
- Pre-Launch Opportunity: Off-plan properties still offer value compared to ready units, with significant upside potential during construction.
