If Ras Al Khaimah had a skyline mood board, Wynn Al Marjan Island just pinned the biggest, boldest image right at the top. The region’s first fully integrated resort has officially topped out—and not in a “cute milestone” way, but in a 283-metre, 70-storey, watch-this-space kind of way.
Just 27 months after foundation works began, the tower has hit its highest structural concrete point. And when the spire is installed in 2026, it’ll stretch to a jaw-dropping 352 metres, officially becoming the tallest man-made structure in Ras Al Khaimah—by more than 100 metres. Casual flex? Absolutely. Historic? Without a doubt.
From Blueprints to “Wow, That’s Real”
Construction progress here is moving at main-character speed. All 1,530 guest accommodations are now structurally complete, with interior fit-outs already underway across 1,504 rooms and suites. The tower’s concrete frame is done, the façade is racing ahead with 79% already installed, and the surrounding low-rise buildings are basically saying, “We’re good to go,” with 99% structural completion.
Translation: the heavy lifting is done, and Wynn Al Marjan Island has officially entered its glow-up era—the full interior build-out phase. This includes everything from rooms and suites to dining venues, luxe public spaces, and the kind of details guests will Instagram before they even unpack.

So… What’s Actually Coming Here?
Short answer: a lot. Long answer: the kind of resort that makes staycations feel like underachievers.
When it opens in Spring 2027, Wynn Al Marjan Island will span more than 60 hectares and feature:
- 1,217 resort rooms and 297 Enclave suites
- Two Royal Apartments, four Garden Townhomes, and 10 Marina Estates
- 22 restaurants, lounges, and bars (good luck choosing just one)
- A beach club, a show-stopping spa and beauty destination, and a skylit luxury shopping parterre
- Coral Court, a bespoke venue for celebrations and events
- The Showroom, a brand-new theatre experience
- 12 pools, a 420-metre white-sand beach, and a deep-water marina designed for superyachts
Yes, superyachts. Because why not?
A Milestone Worth Celebrating (Literally at the Top)
To mark the topping-out moment, senior leaders from Wynn Resorts, Wynn Design & Development, and Marjan gathered at the very top of the tower, taking in sweeping views of the Arabian Gulf. Guests even received a commemorative steel bar taken directly from the building—because souvenirs should have bragging rights—and had the rare honour of pouring the final concrete themselves.
Max Tappeiner, President of Wynn Al Marjan Island, summed it up perfectly: this isn’t just a construction win—it’s a defining moment. One that reshapes RAK’s skyline and anchors a destination built for guests who expect nothing short of extraordinary.
Marjan’s Group CEO, Abdulla Al Abdouli, echoed the sentiment, calling Wynn Al Marjan Island the centrepiece of a new global destination—one that will elevate Ras Al Khaimah’s hospitality scene and firmly place Al Marjan Island on the world travel map.
Built Fast, Built Smart, Built to Impress
Behind the scenes, the numbers tell their own impressive story:
- 100% of hotel room interior fit-out underway
- 100% of tower structural concrete completed
- 99% of low-rise concrete and 96.5% steel structures completed
- 20,744 façade panels already installed
- Nearly 439,000 cubic metres of concrete poured
- 18,000+ construction jobs created
Barry Lewis, CEO of ALEC Holdings, credits advanced building technologies and tight collaboration for keeping quality high and timelines sharp—proof that innovation isn’t just a buzzword here, it’s how things get done.
And This Is Just the Beginning
As if one landmark resort wasn’t enough, Wynn Resorts and Marjan are already moving ahead with their second joint-venture, Janu Al Marjan Island, bringing Aman Group’s lifestyle-focused sister brand to Ras Al Khaimah by late 2028. Together, these projects anchor more than 60 acres of future development—cementing Al Marjan Island’s long-term vision as a world-class destination.
In short? Wynn Al Marjan Island isn’t just topping out—it’s setting the bar sky-high. And Ras Al Khaimah’s skyline (and tourism game) will never look the same again.
