Al Marjan Island, a popular man-made group of islands in Ras Al Khaimah, has become a leading spot for luxury living. The island consists of four coral-shaped islands, featuring stunning white-sand beaches and clear waters, making it an ideal place for upscale development.
As the island grows into a major international spot for hospitality, a new landmark will be introduced Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE’s first integrated gaming resort, set to open in early 2027.
The resort’s newly revealed interiors, designed by Wynn Design & Development, show great attention to detail. Known for creating some of Wynn’s most famous properties around the world, the team has given a special design to the resort’s 1,530 rooms, suites, and villas.
One key feature is the Resort King room, which is different from the usual open-plan style seen in many modern resorts. Instead, it has a separate entry area that divides the sleeping space from the hallway, offering guests more privacy and a homely feel.
The floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping views of the Arabian Gulf, while the interior design is inspired by the region’s rich artistic and cultural heritage. The use of arched shapes, layered textures, and reflective surfaces creates an elegant atmosphere that blends traditional elements with contemporary design.
Todd-Avery Lenahan, President and Chief Creative Officer of Wynn Design & Development, noted, “Designing Wynn Al Marjan Island meant honoring a remarkable legacy while building something entirely distinctive for this region. These rooms are rooted in the language of Wynn but reinterpreted for this oceanfront experience. They’re a beautiful expression of form and function influenced by Ras Al Khaimah’s natural beauty.”
In addition to its accommodations, Wynn Al Marjan Island will cover over 60 hectares, offering a wide range of premium amenities. The resort will include 24 dining venues, catering to fine, casual, and social dining preferences, along with a five-star spa and a carefully curated shopping parterre featuring world-class designer boutiques.
Guests will also enjoy 12 pools surrounded by cabanas and lush gardens. A private marina, designed to accommodate luxury vessels up to 75 meters, and a 420-meter stretch of pristine white-sand beach will further elevate the resort’s offerings. Wynn’s renowned entertainment experiences will be a central feature of the destination.
As part of its continued progress, Wynn Al Marjan Island has officially launched its careers portal, inviting applications for a range of positions in food and beverage, hotel operations, entertainment, and wellness. Candidates are encouraged to join the “Wynn family” and contribute to the brand’s renowned service ethos in its inaugural venture in the Middle East.
In a recent exclusive briefing, senior executives from Wynn Resorts, including Michael Weaver, Chief Communications and Brand Officer, provided detailed insights into the progression of the project. Weaver emphasized the importance of early decision-making, ensuring that every operational detail is carefully planned to achieve perfection on the opening day.
To further strengthen the project’s financial foundation, Wynn Resorts has secured a $2.4 billion construction loan facility. This landmark deal, supported by a consortium of both global and regional banks, stands as the largest hospitality financing transaction in the UAE’s history. Structured in both AED and USD currencies, the loan facility ensures significant financial flexibility for the project’s joint venture partners.
The Road Ahead
As construction progresses and key operational elements take shape, Wynn Al Marjan Island is set to become a transformative destination for both Ras Al Khaimah and the wider region. With the 2027 opening on the horizon, the release of these initial glimpses marks the commencement of a new era in luxury hospitality and entertainment in the Middle East.
