World’s First Dolce Residences by Wyndham Is Coming to Ras Al Khaimah

Al Marjan Island is set to welcome another global hospitality name, with BNW Developments and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts announcing the world’s first Dolce Residences by Wyndham.

Ras Al Khaimah’s evolving waterfront continues to attract international hospitality and residential brands, with Dolce Residences Ras Al Khaimah officially announced for Al Marjan Island.

BNW Developments has partnered with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to bring the first residential development globally under the Dolce Residences by Wyndham name to the emirate. The project was announced on August 3, 2026.

The boutique development will feature 93 premium residences alongside five retail spaces, with completion currently scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2028.

A New Addition to Al Marjan Island

Set against Ras Al Khaimah’s coastline, Dolce Residences is being positioned as a more intimate, design-focused approach to branded living.

Rather than focusing purely on scale, the development is centred around contemporary architecture, wellness, curated amenities and a strong connection with its coastal surroundings. Its positioning has also been planned to maximise views and create a closer visual relationship between the residences and the surrounding landscape.

The arrival of the project adds another international hospitality brand to Al Marjan Island, which has rapidly developed into one of Ras Al Khaimah’s most prominent tourism, hospitality and residential destinations.

Sheikh Saqr Bin Omar Al Qasimi, CEO of Marjan Development, described the launch as another indication of the confidence international hospitality brands are placing in Ras Al Khaimah and highlighted the growing presence of boutique, design-led developments on Al Marjan Island.

Bringing Wyndham Hospitality Into Residential Living

Dolce Residences will combine private residential living with hospitality-led services associated with Wyndham.

Residents are expected to receive a range of Wyndham-related benefits, including a complimentary one-year Wyndham Rewards Platinum membership, preferred rates across Wyndham’s global hotel network and access to selected member offers and promotions.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts currently has approximately 8,400 hotels across around 100 countries, giving the project a connection to one of the world’s largest hotel franchising networks.

The Ras Al Khaimah development is also BNW Developments’ second major collaboration with Wyndham.

Why Ras Al Khaimah?

The decision to debut the Dolce Residences concept in Ras Al Khaimah comes as the emirate continues to expand its international hospitality and lifestyle offering.

Al Marjan Island in particular has become a focal point for new resorts, branded residences, restaurants and waterfront experiences, while developments across Al Marjan Island, Marjan Beach and RAK Central are contributing to a much wider transformation of the emirate’s tourism and residential landscape.

Dimitris Manikis, President EMEA at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said the Ras Al Khaimah project represents an important step in Wyndham’s branded residences strategy in the region, pointing to the emirate’s emergence as a lifestyle destination and Dolce’s focus on character, design and a sense of place.

RAK’s Waterfront Continues to Evolve

For visitors to Ras Al Khaimah, developments such as Dolce Residences form part of a much broader evolution taking place along the emirate’s coast.

Al Marjan Island is increasingly becoming a destination in its own right, bringing together hotels, residences, dining, beaches and leisure experiences within one waterfront district.

With Dolce Residences scheduled for handover in Q4 2028, the development is another project to watch as the next chapter of Al Marjan Island takes shape.
