Anantara Mina Ras Al Khaimah Resort
One of the most anticipated additions to Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism landscape is the Anantara Mina Ras Al Khaimah Resort, located on a private peninsula overlooking the lagoon and Arabian Gulf. With its 174 rooms, suites, and the Emirate’s first overwater villas, the resort promises an eco-friendly and lavish escape.

The resort also offers you a variety of water sports and activities, such as kayaking through the mangroves and high-speed adventures, making it a destination for both relaxation and thrill-seekers.
Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort
Just steps from Al Hamra’s sandy shore, Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort blends French elegance with laid-back Gulf charm. It’s home to 292 rooms and suites, seven restaurants, and one of the largest lagoon pools in the Emirate.
Your family will love the kids’ splash area, while you can unwind with a Clarins spa treatment or play a round on the nearby 18-hole golf course. It’s a great fit for couples, groups, and families alike.
Wynn Al Marjan Island
Opening in early 2027, Wynn Al Marjan Island will become a player in the UAE’s luxury tourism market. This 70-story resort, situated on an island in the Arabian Gulf, promises 360-degree waterfront views and a world-class experience. With 24 restaurants and lounges, a shopping promenade, and exclusive entertainment options, the resort will feature a full-service marina, private beach, and numerous pools, offering a premium escape for you in a couple of years.
W Hotel Ras Al Khaimah by Marriott
The W Hotel on Al Marjan Island, also opening in 2027, will bring the brand’s style to Ras Al Khaimah. If you fancy yourself as a young, fashion-forward, red carpet person looking for both relaxation and excitement, the W Hotel will become your ultimate go-to spot in RAK. Located in one of Ras Al Khaimah’s most scenic areas, the hotel will feature high-end restaurants and an iconic beach club.
Other than resorts…
Manta Bay is a new residential project on Al Marjan Island, featuring the world’s first rooftop beach with real sand and seawater, set 197 feet above ground. Scheduled for completion by the end of 2026, it will offer studios to two-bedroom apartments and over 30 amenities including a rooftop pool, spa, gym, and yoga deck. With its resort-style design and prime location near the upcoming Wynn Resort, Manta Bay is positioned as both a lifestyle destination and a high-return investment opportunity.
Also, Ras Al Khaimah International Airport is set to welcome a new terminal. A new 30,000 m² terminal is currently under development and scheduled to open by 2028. Once operational, it will be capable of handling up to 3 million passengers annually, significantly enhancing Ras Al Khaimah’s connectivity and accessibility, especially for international tourists and business travellers. This expansion supports the Emirate’s goal to boost tourism and integrate with global travel networks
