A multi-billion-dollar landmark rising on the Ras Al Khaimah coastline, opening in 2027. Here is everything known so far — and how to see the site today from the deck of a private yacht.
Wynn Al Marjan Island is an integrated beach resort under construction on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah — the first licensed integrated gaming resort in the UAE, scheduled to open in 2027. Backed by a multi-billion-dollar investment, it is planned to feature more than 1,500 rooms, 22+ restaurants and lounges, a gaming floor, a shopping esplanade, and a 101-berth superyacht marina. It sits minutes by boat from Al Hamra Marina.

Developed by Wynn Resorts together with local partners, the project marks the arrival of one of the world's most recognised luxury-resort brands in the Middle East. It is the single largest driver of the current investment boom across Ras Al Khaimah and Al Marjan Island.
The resort is being built on Al Marjan Island, a man-made archipelago of four coral-shaped islands in Ras Al Khaimah, the northernmost emirate of the UAE. It is roughly a 45–60 minute drive from Dubai and about 25 minutes from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport. By water, it is just minutes from Al Hamra Marina — which is why yacht cruises are already the best way to view the construction site and the surrounding coastline. For the wider destination, see our Al Marjan Island guide.

Details continue to evolve as construction progresses; figures above reflect publicly announced plans and may be refined before opening.
Wynn Al Marjan Island is reshaping the emirate. New hotels, branded residences and infrastructure are being announced around it, tourism forecasts have been revised sharply upward, and Ras Al Khaimah is increasingly positioned as the "Mediterranean of the Middle East." For visitors, that means a rapidly growing choice of resorts, restaurants and experiences — with the calm Arabian Gulf as the centrepiece.
You don't have to wait until 2027 to experience the setting. A private yacht charter from Al Hamra Marina cruises directly along the Al Marjan Island coastline, giving you a front-row view of the Wynn development, the resorts, and the open Gulf. It is the most scenic way to understand the scale of what is being built.
Charters start from 850 AED per hour. Compare options on our yacht rental prices page or view the fleet.
