AREAS
Where to live and buy in
Ras Al Khaimah
Most of the homes we sell and let are in five areas by the sea. Al Marjan Island is RAK's entertainment capital, Al Hamra Village the family choice and Mina Al Arab the luxury choice. Marjan Beach and RAK Central are new districts, with no finished homes yet. Each area has its own guide, with the figures behind it.

Which area suits you
A family home, already built
Al Hamra Village. Villas and townhouses around a golf course, a marina and a beach, with Al Hamra Mall. Villa rents rose 8.7% in a year (CBRE, H1 2026).
The beach, the hotels and Wynn
Al Marjan Island. Wynn opens here in September 2027. Apartment prices rose 23.1% in a year (CBRE, H1 2026).
The top end
Mina Al Arab. Lagoons, beaches and two islands, where RAK Properties is building its most expensive homes.
Buying early, and waiting
Marjan Beach (first homes due 2029) and RAK Central (late 2027). Nothing there is finished yet, so there are no rents to go on.
SEE IT FROM THE WATER
The coast makes more sense from the sea
Al Marjan Island, Mina Al Arab, Marjan Beach and Al Hamra Village all sit on the same stretch of coast. We take buyers out on the boat to see the sites from the water, with the guide in hand.
