Aqua Arc by BNW Developments at Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah

BNW Developments | Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah

Twin Towers, Wave-Curved Balconies: Island Homes from AED 2.3M

Aqua Arc by BNW Developments is a water-inspired residential landmark on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, shaped around the movement of the sea itself. Its twin G+12 towers are wrapped in sweeping, wave-like balconies that curve along the facades, giving almost every home an open terrace facing the Arabian Gulf, and the collection sits within sight of Wynn Al Marjan Island, the integrated resort now rising on the neighbouring island.

The development brings together 226 residences: 120 one bedroom, 69 two bedroom and 26 three bedroom apartments, eight two bedroom townhouses at the podium, and two five bedroom penthouses crowning the towers, alongside a single retail unit. Premium three bedroom apartments add private pools on their expansive terraces, a feature rarely offered at this scale on the island.

BNW Developments currently advertises the collection from AED 2.3 million, with a 10% booking payment, and handover is expected in Q3 2027 according to the developer. Ownership is freehold, and purchases at this level can support eligibility for the UAE Golden Visa under the prevailing rules.

Project Highlights

Aqua Arc at a Glance: The Key Facts

Residences

Wave-Shaped Balconies and Homes Built Around the Sea

The architecture at Aqua Arc takes its cue from the shoreline in front of it. The two towers rise 12 residential floors above a sculpted podium, their facades formed by continuous curved balconies that echo the rhythm of the waves, while the podium itself is designed like a landscape of coves, with cascading water installations and outdoor lounges. Inside, layouts are planned around the view: master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets, open living spaces, and sea-facing terraces as the natural extension of every home.

The apartment collection is deliberately broad. One bedroom homes run from approximately 1,031 to 1,729 sq ft (96 to 161 sqm), two bedroom homes from 1,496 to 1,976 sq ft (139 to 184 sqm) and three bedroom homes from 2,198 to 4,590 sq ft (204 to 426 sqm). The eight podium townhouses offer two bedroom living over 2,467 to 2,511 sq ft (229 to 233 sqm), and the two penthouses are full-floor-scale residences of around 8,659 sq ft (804 sqm) each.

Amenities & Lifestyle

A Rooftop Pool Above the Island, a Beach at Its Feet

Life at Aqua Arc is organised around water at every level. The rooftop carries an infinity pool with open sea views, the podium holds landscaped gardens, an events lawn and an amphitheatre, and the island beach is a short stroll from the lobby. Wellness is covered by a gymnasium, a spa and steam and sauna rooms, while families are served by a kids splash pad and play areas, and the double-height lobby sets the tone on arrival.

Location & Connectivity

Minutes from Wynn, Open to the Whole Island

Aqua Arc stands on Al Marjan Island Boulevard, in the heart of Ras Al Khaimah’s resort archipelago. The beach is around four minutes away, the island’s hotels, resorts and promenades line the same coastline, and Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE’s first integrated resort, is approximately five minutes by road. Al Hamra Mall and Al Hamra Golf Club sit just across the water on the mainland shore.

The island connects to the mainland by a single bridge road, placing Ras Al Khaimah International Airport around half an hour away and Dubai within roughly an hour’s drive, so the address works as a full-time home, a weekend retreat or a holiday rental asset. Approximate drive times are set out below.

Floor Plans

Aqua Arc Floor Plans: From One Bedroom Apartments to an 804 sqm Penthouse

Floor plans at Aqua Arc are arranged around open living spaces and the curved terraces that define the building, with kitchens, bathrooms and storage planned to a high specification. Three bedroom layouts are the most varied in the collection, the largest adding private terrace pools, while the penthouses occupy a scale of their own at the crown of the towers.

The confirmed size ranges published by the developer for each home type are summarised below. Full dimensioned floor plans form part of the developer’s sales documentation, and buyers should confirm the exact area and layout of a chosen unit before purchase.

Master Plan

Inside Al Marjan Island: The Resort Archipelago Taking Shape

Al Marjan Island is a master planned archipelago developed by Marjan, extending around 7.8 km into the Arabian Gulf across four coral-shaped islands: Breeze, Treasure, Dream and View. Resorts, branded residences, beaches and waterfront promenades share the coastline, and the island’s next phase of growth is anchored by Wynn Al Marjan Island, the multi-billion-dollar integrated resort under construction nearby and expected to open in 2027.

Within that setting, BNW Developments has assembled one of the island’s largest residential portfolios, and Aqua Arc is its broadest collection: twin towers and a landscaped podium holding the apartments, townhouses, penthouses and a retail unit in a single address. Sister projects including Pelagia, Aquino and Acacia deepen the developer’s presence along the same shoreline.

Pricing & Payment Plan

Aqua Arc Price and Payment Plan

BNW Developments currently advertises Aqua Arc from AED 2.3 million. At the project’s launch, the published price ladder started from AED 2,240,000 for one bedroom apartments, AED 3,270,000 for two bedrooms and AED 4,450,000 for three bedrooms, with the two bedroom townhouses from AED 5,710,000 and the five bedroom penthouses from AED 29,020,000. Current availability pricing varies by tower, floor and view and should be confirmed with the developer’s sales team.

The developer’s published payment plan is a 50/50 structure: 10% on booking, 40% during construction and 50% on completion. At launch, a post-handover structure was also widely marketed for the project, with 70% payable by handover and the remaining 30% spread over 24 months after handover; availability of that structure on current releases should be confirmed in the sales and purchase agreement.

Investment Perspective

Why the Island’s Next Chapter Favours Early Owners

The investment case at Aqua Arc rests on position and timing. The project stands minutes from Wynn Al Marjan Island, whose opening in 2027 is expected to reshape visitor demand across the whole archipelago, while beachfront plots on the island are finite and the bulk of its branded supply is still being built. Aqua Arc’s handover in 2027 places its first owners inside that opening window rather than after it.

Ownership is freehold for all nationalities, and because prices start above AED 2 million, purchases can support eligibility for the UAE’s 10-year Golden Visa under the prevailing rules. The breadth of the collection, from one bedroom apartments to full-scale penthouses, lets investors target long-term tenants, the holiday rental market or end-user resale within a single development by an established island developer.

As with any off-plan purchase, values and rental returns are not guaranteed, and service charges apply. Investors should review the sales and purchase agreement, the escrow arrangements and the confirmed instalment schedule, and take independent advice before committing.
