The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort by Atara Real Estate Development at Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah

ATARA Development | Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah

The GCC’s First Sheraton Address: Resort Living from AED 2.2M

The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort by Atara Real Estate Development brings the first Sheraton-branded residences in the GCC to the beachfront of Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah. Developed in direct partnership with Marriott International, the project carries Sheraton’s hospitality standards in its architecture from the earliest drawings rather than as a finishing layer.

The collection comprises 168 fully furnished branded residences, 97 one bedroom and 71 two bedroom homes arranged across floors 2 to 10 of an 18-storey tower, with the Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort hotel above them. Every owner shares the resort’s private beach, its pools and wellness spaces, and hotel services delivered to Marriott’s operating standard.

Sales are open now, with prices from AED 2.2 million on a 30/70 payment plan and handover scheduled for Q3 2028. Construction is underway on site, and ownership activates Marriott’s ONVIA recognition platform and Marriott Bonvoy membership from the day of purchase, not from handover.

Project Highlights

Sheraton Residences at a Glance: The Key Facts

Residences

Fully Furnished Homes on the Resort’s Quiet Floors

The 168 residences occupy floors 2 to 10 of the tower, below the Sheraton hotel floors, and every home is delivered fully furnished and serviced to the brand’s residential standards. Layouts are deliberately focused: 97 one bedroom residences of approximately 716 to 967 sq ft (67 to 90 sqm) and 71 two bedroom residences of approximately 1,150 to 1,379 sq ft (107 to 128 sqm), each planned with open-plan living flowing onto a private balcony with a sea or marina-facing orientation.

The collection was refined during 2026 from the original launch release, which also included a small number of studio apartments, to concentrate on the one and two bedroom formats in strongest demand. Interiors reflect the calm, coastal character of the island, and residents are served by a dedicated lobby, lounge and 24/7 concierge, with the full resort one lift ride away.

Amenities & Lifestyle

More Than 50 Amenities, One Private Beach

Residents share a programme of more than 50 amenities, each designed, operated and maintained to Sheraton’s hospitality standards. Days centre on the private beach and the pools, including a signature rooftop infinity pool, while the 9,000 sq ft wellness hub brings together a gym, yoga studios and a spa. Evenings belong to the sky kitchen, the rooftop lounge and a 7,000 sq ft nightclub, balanced by family spaces: indoor and outdoor kids’ play areas, a gaming zone, a teens’ club and an outdoor cinema. Ownership also enrols buyers in ONVIA, Marriott International’s owner recognition platform, with Marriott Bonvoy membership and preferred rates across more than 8,000 Marriott hotels worldwide.

Location & Connectivity

On the Beachfront of Al Marjan Island

The Residences stand on plot 2APT.004B on the beachfront of Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah’s flagship man-made archipelago of four coral-shaped islands with around 7.8 km of sandy beaches. The address sits minutes from Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE’s first integrated resort, and within easy reach of the Al Hamra community, RAK Central business district and the emirate’s malls, schools and hospitals.

Ras Al Khaimah International Airport is around half an hour away, and Dubai is reachable in roughly an hour by road, keeping the island practical as both a full-time home and a weekend resort address. Approximate drive times from the project are set out below.

Floor Plans

The Residences at Sheraton Floor Plans and Home Types

Floor plans at The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort are arranged around open-plan living and dining spaces that open onto private balconies, with kitchens, bathrooms and storage planned to hotel-residence standards. In the current release, one bedroom layouts run from approximately 716 to 967 sq ft (67 to 90 sqm) and two bedroom layouts from approximately 1,150 to 1,379 sq ft (107 to 128 sqm).

The original launch release was drawn slightly differently, with studios of 725 to 755 sq ft (67 to 70 sqm), one bedroom homes of 968 to 1,089 sq ft (90 to 101 sqm) and two bedroom homes of 1,142 to 1,392 sq ft (106 to 129 sqm). Full dimensioned floor plans for every layout form part of the developer’s project pack and are available on request; buyers should confirm the exact area and layout of a chosen unit in the sales documentation.

Master Plan

Inside Al Marjan Island: Four Islands, One Resort Coastline

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. The island combines resorts, branded residences, beaches and waterfront promenades, and its next phase of growth is anchored by Wynn Al Marjan Island, the USD 5.1 billion integrated resort under construction nearby.

Within that setting, the Sheraton plot covers 11,127 sqm and rises to 80.6 metres: two basement levels, ground, mezzanine, 18 floors and a rooftop, with a gross floor area of 45,134 sqm and parking for 391 cars. The residences and the 318-room Sheraton hotel are planned as one integrated resort building, and construction is underway, with shoring, piling and foundation works progressing on site.

Pricing & Payment Plan

The Residences at Sheraton Price and Payment Plan

Residences in the current release start from AED 2.2 million. At the February 2026 sales launch, pricing was announced from AED 2.4 million, and the developer’s current release pricing supersedes those launch figures. Final prices vary by floor, view and layout, and the confirmed price for a specific unit is set out in the sales documentation.

The developer’s published plan is a 30/70 structure: 5% on booking, a further 25% during construction in instalments across roughly 24 months, and the 70% balance on handover in Q3 2028. Payments are protected through a RERA-mandated escrow account, purchases are registered with Oqood on signing, and a 4% Ras Al Khaimah Land Department fee applies on purchase, per the developer’s sales brochure.

Investment Perspective

Why Branded Residences Are Leading Al Marjan Island

The investment case rests on scarcity and timing. The project is the GCC’s first Sheraton-branded residential development and part of a global collection of just five Sheraton residence schemes at launch, while Al Marjan Island’s beachfront plots are finite. The developer reports that island property values grew 33.3% in 2024, before the opening of Wynn Al Marjan Island, expected in 2027, adds the UAE’s first integrated resort a few minutes from the door.

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, which the AED 2.2 million entry price clears. Fully furnished, hotel-serviced homes beside an operating resort are built for the island’s growing visitor and second-home rental market, and delivery is handled in house by Atara’s own Rakhat Construction, reducing contractor risk.

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, and take independent advice before committing.
