ARTE Developments | Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah

Couture Meets the Coastline: Elie Saab Beachfront Homes from AED 1.9M

La Mer by Elie Saab brings the first Elie Saab branded residences to Ras Al Khaimah, developed by ARTE Developments on the beachfront of Al Marjan Island. Unveiled in October 2024 with OCTA Properties as exclusive sales and marketing partner, the project pairs the fashion house’s signature interiors with a resort setting on the Arabian Gulf, minutes from the upcoming Wynn Al Marjan Island.

Three interconnected towers, Isle 1, Isle 2 and Isle 3, rise 17 storeys above the shoreline, their curved forms designed by Dewan Architects & Engineers and linked by bridges and a dual lobby. Interiors carry Elie Saab’s design language throughout, with signature pieces from the Elie Saab Maison collection, Siemens appliances in the apartments and Miele appliances in the penthouses and villas.

The collection comprises 355 residences across ten categories, from one bedroom apartments to chalets, two signature villas and nine penthouses, every home with direct beach access. Construction began in Q3 2024, launch prices started from AED 1,900,888 on a 50/50 payment plan, and handover is scheduled for Q1 2028.

The grand pool extends over 4,837 sq ft (449 sqm), Serenity Park brings 10,266 sq ft (954 sqm) of landscaped calm to Level 1, and the Link Garden connects the towers across Levels 2 and 3 with 8,884 sq ft (825 sqm) of green space.

Location & Connectivity

On Al Marjan Island, Minutes from Wynn and the Open Sea

La Mer by Elie Saab stands on the beachfront of Al Marjan Island, the man-made archipelago off the Ras Al Khaimah coast that has become the emirate’s flagship resort address. The island’s beaches, hotels and promenades surround the project, and Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE’s first integrated resort, is under construction a few minutes along the shore.

The mainland is close at hand: Al Hamra’s mall, golf club and marina village sit across the causeway, Ras Al Khaimah city and its airport are around half an hour away, and Dubai is reachable in roughly an hour by road. Approximate drive times are set out below.

Floor Plans

La Mer by Elie Saab Floor Plans and Home Types

Layouts at La Mer by Elie Saab are planned around light, sea views and generous terraces, with the towers’ curved forms giving many homes wide, sweeping balconies. Apartments come in a series of types per bedroom count: one bedroom layouts of 874 to 1,104 sq ft (81 to 103 sqm), two bedroom layouts of 1,552 to 3,109 sq ft (144 to 289 sqm) and three bedroom layouts of 1,886 to 3,399 sq ft (175 to 316 sqm), alongside four bedroom apartments.

Chalet layouts start from around 1,019 sq ft, the two villas span 4,750 to 8,363 sq ft (441 to 777 sqm), and the nine penthouses occupy the uppermost floors at 10,453 to 14,484 sq ft (971 to 1,346 sqm). Full dimensioned floor plans form part of the developer’s project pack and are available on request; buyers should confirm the exact area of a chosen unit in the sales documentation.

Master Plan

Three Towers, One Island Community: The La Mer Master Plan

The master plan arranges three cylindrical towers, Isle 1, Isle 2 and Isle 3, along the beachfront, each rising 17 storeys and connected by bridges at several levels above a shared podium and a dual lobby. The architecture, by Dewan Architects & Engineers, uses curved facades and elevated walkways to keep the three buildings reading as one community, with amenity decks, gardens and lounges distributed between the levels.

Around the project, Al Marjan Island continues to mature as Ras Al Khaimah’s resort coastline: four coral-shaped islands of beaches, hotels and promenades, anchored by Wynn Al Marjan Island and developed under Marjan, the emirate’s master developer. La Mer is ARTE Developments’ debut in the emirate and the first Elie Saab branded address on the island.

Investment Perspective

Why Branded Residences Are Reshaping Al Marjan Island

The investment case at La Mer by Elie Saab rests on brand scarcity and timing. It is the first Elie Saab branded residential project in Ras Al Khaimah, and branded residences of this calibre form a limited pool on Al Marjan Island, where beachfront plots are finite. The opening of Wynn Al Marjan Island, expected in 2027 a few minutes away, is the island’s defining demand catalyst, and La Mer’s Q1 2028 handover follows shortly after it.

Ownership is freehold for all nationalities. Homes priced from AED 2 million can support eligibility for the UAE’s 10-year Golden Visa under the prevailing rules, a threshold the two bedroom collection and above already clears. Brand-backed homes beside an operating resort coastline are positioned for the island’s growing visitor and second-home rental market, and construction has been underway since Q3 2024.

As with any off-plan purchase, values and rental returns are not guaranteed, and service charges apply to branded residences of this kind. Investors should review the sales and purchase agreement, the escrow arrangements and the confirmed instalment schedule for their chosen release, and take independent advice before committing.
