Development of Wynn Al Marjan Island Going as Planned

The construction of first integrated resorts at Wynn Al Marjan Island in the UAE is proceeding as planned with 55% of the structural concrete now complete and the concrete structure is complete up to the 26th floor of the main resort tower, with walls extending to the 29th floor.

The construction team is completing one floor per week, working toward a topping off in December 2025. In the last 100 days, the resort tower grew by 44 meters, Wynn Resorts, the developer of the project, said in an update on the progress made so far.

Wynn Al Marjan Island is a man-made Al Marjan Island and is located 15 minutes from Ras Al Khaimah airport and 50 minutes from the Dubai International Airport in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.

It is already a leading tourism destination comprising four islands, and delights visitors with over 7.8 km of sparkling beaches and 23 km of waterfront in addition to world-class hotels and residential developments.

Wynn Design and Development (WDD), employing more than 90 talented architects, designers, and creative visionaries, is overseeing all facets of the project’s design and development. The project is unique in that it maintains its own full-service design and architectural team.

There are currently 9,100 construction team members onsite, and more than 100 concrete trucks in place on the site per day.

The resort will offer 1,542 rooms and well-appointed suites. To-date, the tower structure has been completed for 1,121 guest rooms, or 73% of the total. Fit out is underway in approximately 820 rooms – including walls, floors, and ceilings, as well as all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services. The elevator and escalator installation also began this month.

Creating New Luxury Category

Wynn Al Marjan Island will create a new category of luxury in the region through its unique collection of experiences. The 22 restaurants, lounges, and bars will range from high-energy social destinations to fine dining.

Contributing to the atmosphere, a nightclub featuring the legendary “Only at Wynn” line-up of world-renowned DJs and a beach club will be situated on its own white sand beach on the Arabian Gulf. There will be an extensive pool-scape adjacent to the beach with multiple swimming and wading pools, water features, private cabanas, and tropical landscaping covering 3.6 hectares.

The resort will also include a 15,000 sq. m. shopping promenade filled with the world’s top luxury boutiques, a five-star spa, and a salon. The 7,500 sq. m. meetings and events centre, along with a theatre will offer exciting parties, events, and bespoke entertainment experiences.

Wynn Resorts is developing the project in partnership with Marjan, the master-developer of freehold property in Ras Al Khaimah, and RAK Hospitality Holding and is anticipated to be the first integrated gaming resort in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region.

Wynn Al Marjan Island is scheduled to open in 2026 and is expected to become a focal point in the UAE’s evolving tourism and entertainment landscape.
