What are the Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island?
The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort are the GCC's first Sheraton-branded homes, developed by Atara Development on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. The residences connect to the existing Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort, so owners enjoy the resort's facilities and services while living in a private residential building.
According to Atara, the collection includes 168 branded residences across floors two to ten: 97 one-bedroom and 71 two-bedroom homes. Earlier releases also included studios, so ask me what's available today.
The homes
Homes are designed around Arabian Gulf views, with a soft contemporary palette, wood accents and layouts for living and working. Brokers report 1-bedroom apartments from about 968 sq ft and 2-bedroom apartments from about 1,142 sq ft, with homes sold furnished.
Amenities
- Private beach access
- Adult and children's pools, including a rooftop infinity pool
- Fitness centre with yoga and Pilates studios
- Residents' lounge and games room with a golf simulator
- Co-working space with meeting rooms and call booths
Location: Al Marjan Island
Al Marjan Island is Ras Al Khaimah's beachfront resort destination and the site of Wynn Al Marjan Island, which Wynn Resorts has confirmed will open in September 2027. The Sheraton Residences are a few minutes from the Wynn site, around 10 minutes from Al Hamra Mall and marina, and about 15 minutes from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport.
Prices and payment plan
Atara lists homes from around AED 2.2 million, while brokers quote figures from about AED 2.2 million to AED 2.4 million depending on the release. Payment plans have also varied between releases, including construction-linked plans with a smaller share during construction and a larger balance on handover. I'll confirm the current price list and plan for any unit you're considering.
Is it a good investment?
A first for the region. The first Sheraton-branded residences in the GCC, backed by a global hotel brand.
The Wynn effect. The UAE's first integrated resort is opening nearby in 2027, which is expected to drive tourism and rental demand on Al Marjan Island.
Resort living. Owners get resort facilities and a private beach, which appeals to both holiday-home buyers and short-term rental guests.
Golden Visa. Homes at AED 2 million and above can qualify for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa.
What to weigh
Ras Al Khaimah is a smaller market than Dubai, so resale can take longer. Some expected growth from the Wynn opening may already be reflected in Al Marjan Island prices. Branded residences also come with higher service charges and brand standards, so check the costs and any rental rules before you buy.
