UniEstate Properties | Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah

Viva la Playa: Furnished Beachfront Homes from AED 850K

Playa Viva by UniEstate Properties is a beachfront residential development of three towers on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, the man-made archipelago that has become the northern emirates’ flagship resort address. The project places fully furnished homes directly on the waterfront, a short stroll from the island’s sandy shoreline and minutes from the future Wynn Al Marjan Island resort.

The collection spans studios and one, two and three bedroom apartments, every home delivered fully furnished with equipped kitchens and integrated smart home systems. Contemporary architecture with clean lines, expansive glazing and natural materials frames panoramic views across the Arabian Gulf, while private balconies and garden terraces extend the living space outdoors.

Sales are under way with prices reported from AED 850,000 and a developer payment plan that spreads the balance at 1% per month after handover. UniEstate Properties, the developer behind the project, schedules handover for Q1 2027, and construction and fit-out works are progressing on site.

Residences

Move-In Ready: Furnished Homes with Smart Systems

Every residence at Playa Viva is delivered fully furnished, allowing owners to occupy or let the home from the day of handover. Open-plan layouts are arranged around the views, with floor-to-ceiling glazing, soft neutral interiors and private balconies; selected homes add garden terraces at podium level. Kitchens are equipped, and integrated smart home systems, cited by sales partners as Alexa-enabled, place lighting, climate and entertainment under simple voice or app control. Sales partners also cite furniture by THE One and Siemens kitchen appliances in the furnishing specification.

Sizes are generous for the island. Studios run from 300 to 462 sq ft (28 to 43 sqm), one bedroom apartments from 600 to 850 sq ft (56 to 79 sqm), two bedroom apartments from 1,100 to 1,200 sq ft (102 to 111 sqm) and three bedroom apartments from 1,700 to 1,800 sq ft (158 to 167 sqm). Parking is provided within the development, with two spaces allocated to three bedroom homes.

Amenities & Lifestyle

A Podium of Pools, Sport and Slow Evenings

Life at Playa Viva is organised across two levels: a landscaped podium devoted to sport, wellness and leisure, and a ground floor of dining, retail and everyday services, with direct access to the private beach beyond. Residents swim between the infinity pool and indoor and outdoor pools, train in the fitness centre, and unwind in a spa with sauna and steam rooms. Evenings are given to the outdoor cinema, fire pit seating and barbecue areas, while the ground floor brings restaurants, cafés, a supermarket, a pharmacy and salons to the doorstep.

Location & Connectivity

On the Shoreline, Minutes from Wynn

Playa Viva stands on the beachfront of Al Marjan Island, the 2.7 million sqm archipelago that extends around 4.5 km into the Arabian Gulf off the Ras Al Khaimah coast. The address neighbours established resorts including Mövenpick and Hilton properties, and sits around five minutes from Wynn Al Marjan Island, the USD 5.1 billion integrated resort scheduled to open in 2027 as the UAE’s first gaming resort.

Sheikh Mohammed Bin Salem Road (E11) connects the island directly to Ras Al Khaimah city, Sharjah and Dubai, keeping the emirate’s malls, business districts and airport within easy reach. Approximate drive times from the project are set out below.

Floor Plans

Playa Viva Floor Plans: Studios to Three Bedroom Homes

Layouts at Playa Viva are planned around open living spaces, equipped kitchens and wide glazing that draws the sea into every room. Studios and one bedroom homes suit singles, couples and rental-focused buyers; two and three bedroom apartments add the separate living zones and storage that families and longer stays call for.

Full dimensioned floor plans for every layout form part of the developer’s sales documentation and are available on request. The confirmed size ranges for each home type are summarised below; buyers should confirm the exact area and position of a chosen unit in the sales and purchase agreement.

Master Plan

Inside Al Marjan Island: Ras Al Khaimah’s Resort Coastline

Al Marjan Island is a master planned archipelago of four coral-shaped islands, Breeze, Treasure, Dream and View, developed by Marjan and home to a growing collection of resorts, branded residences and beach clubs. Its next phase is anchored by Wynn Al Marjan Island, the USD 5.1 billion integrated resort rising nearby, which is expected to reshape the emirate’s tourism economy from 2027.

Within the island, Playa Viva is planned as a self-contained community: three residential towers of ground, two podium and ten residential floors above a shared podium of leisure facilities, with ground floor retail including a supermarket, pharmacy, beauty salons and a water sports shop, plus a waterfront promenade and direct private beach access in front of the development.

Pricing & Payment Plan

Playa Viva Prices and the 1% Monthly Plan

Prices at Playa Viva are reported from AED 850,000 for a studio. The developer’s authorised UK partner quotes studio pricing from £148,000, and exact AED pricing varies by tower, floor, view and layout, so the confirmed price for a specific unit is set out in the sales documentation. Availability is described by sales partners as limited as handover approaches.

The developer’s payment structure is a 40/60 plan: 20% on booking and a further 20% during construction complete the pre-handover stage, after which the remaining 60% is paid at 1% per month over 60 months following handover. The post-handover plan is developer-direct, interest-free on the published terms and subject to eligibility and developer approval.

Investment Perspective

Furnished, Beachfront and Priced Below the Island’s New Stock

The investment case at Playa Viva rests on entry price, readiness and timing. Fully furnished beachfront homes from a reported AED 850,000 sit well below the starting prices of the island’s newest branded launches, and delivery in Q1 2027 places income potential ahead of, or alongside, the opening of Wynn Al Marjan Island, the event expected to lift visitor numbers and nightly rates across the island.

The payment structure supports the case for leveraged entry: 40% is payable before handover, with the 60% balance spread at 1% per month over five years, allowing rental income to contribute towards the instalments. Ownership is freehold for all nationalities, and purchases from AED 2 million can support eligibility for the UAE’s 10-year Golden Visa under the prevailing rules, a threshold the larger two and three bedroom homes can reach. Behind the project stands UniEstate Properties, a developer active since 1995 with more than 3,000 units delivered across 3.5 million sq ft.

As with any off-plan purchase, values and rental returns are not guaranteed, and service charges apply; the developer’s published service fee is AED 18 per sq ft. Investors should review the sales and purchase agreement, the escrow arrangements and the confirmed instalment schedule, and take independent advice before committing.
