Al Marjan Island is a man-made paradise in Ras Al Khaimah that looks like a giant piece of coral floating in the sea. It was launched in 2013, is built on about 115 acres of land (which is like having 85 football fields put together), and stretches 4.5 kilometers into the ocean. People love visiting because the hotels are almost always full, with a high 85% occupancy rate, meaning it’s a very popular place to stay.











The island is being built by some of the most famous builders in the world, including Marjan (the main developer) Emaar and Aldar. They are working together to build amazing luxury hotels, beautiful homes, and even the UAE's first giant "integrated resort." With its 23 kilometers of waterfront and 7.8 kilometers of white sandy beaches, it is becoming a top destination for both tourists and families.
Al Marjan Island is the ultimate "all-rounder" destination because it balances high-profit investment with a high-quality family lifestyle. Here are 7 reasons why it is the best choice for everyone:
Yes, The waters are very shallow, calm, and have almost no waves. Most beach resorts also have professional lifeguards and dedicated play areas to keep children safe while swimming.
Absolutely. Many kids' clubs offer "eco-learning" programs where they can visit sustainable honeybee farms, learn about sea life, and participate in gardening and cultural arts and crafts activities.
The Al Marjan Island Corniche is the best spot. It is a long, beautiful path by the sea where you can see the sun dip into the ocean perfectly.
The Wynn Al Marjan Island resort, opening in early 2027, will feature a "gaming area." It will be the first resort of its kind in the entire UAE.
Yes, the Al Hamra Golf Club is just 10 minutes away. It is a famous 18-hole course where you can even play golf at night under bright floodlights!
