Wynn Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah: The Complete Visitor Guide

Wynn Al Marjan Island is set to become one of Ras Al Khaimah's most significant tourism developments, bringing a new level of luxury hospitality, entertainment and leisure to the emirate's coastline.

The project marks Wynn Resorts' first development in the Middle East and will become the UAE's first integrated resort featuring a land-based gaming facility.

Located on Al Marjan Island, the resort is being developed by Wynn Resorts in partnership with Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding. The project is designed as a complete destination resort combining luxury accommodation, dining, entertainment, wellness and beachfront experiences.

Wynn Al Marjan Island is currently under construction and is expected to open in Q1 2027.

When Will Wynn Al Marjan Island Open?

Wynn Al Marjan Island is scheduled to welcome guests in the first quarter of 2027.

Until opening, the resort remains under construction and is not accessible to visitors. Hotel reservations, dining bookings and other guest experiences are expected to become available closer to the launch date.

Location & How to Get There

Wynn Al Marjan Island is located on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah's waterfront destination made up of four interconnected islands extending into the Arabian Gulf.

Approximate travel times:

• Ras Al Khaimah International Airport: Around 15 minutes by car

• Dubai International Airport: Around 50 miles (approximately 80 km), depending on the route

The resort will be surrounded by existing island attractions, including the Al Marjan Island Boardwalk, beaches, waterfront dining and leisure facilities.

Visitors planning to explore the area can also combine a future Wynn stay with nearby Al Marjan Island hotels and other things to do in Ras Al Khaimah.

Rooms & Suites

Wynn Al Marjan Island will feature 1,530 rooms and suites within a 70-storey tower rising approximately 352 metres above the coastline.

Further details on room categories, layouts and pricing will be announced closer to the resort's opening.

The Casino & Gaming Experience

Wynn Al Marjan Island will include a 225,000-square-foot gaming area, making it the first project in the UAE to feature a land-based gaming facility regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA).
