Raha Island: properties & projects

Raha Island is taking shape as an island community within Mina Al Arab in Ras Al Khaimah, the flagship master plan of RAK Properties, the emirate's largest listed property developer. Announced in May 2024, the island brings together branded residences, luxury hotels, marinas and more than 2.5 kilometres of accessible public beaches, forming one of the most ambitious new addresses north of Dubai.

Location and connectivity

Raha Island sits about 15 minutes from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport and around 45 minutes from Dubai. Within Mina Al Arab, water shuttles and waterfront promenades link the individual districts. The region's main demand driver, the upcoming Wynn Al Marjan Island resort on neighbouring Al Marjan Island, the UAE's first integrated resort, is roughly a 20-minute drive away and is putting Ras Al Khaimah on the international map.

Master plan and lifestyle

The master plan combines luxury hotels, branded residences, marinas, beach clubs, a wellness centre and retail and dining along landscaped boulevards. Residents reach wide sandy beaches, calm waterways and leisure amenities right on their doorstep, set within the established Mina Al Arab infrastructure of nearby schools, clinics and shopping.

Projects, unit types and prices

The offer spans luxury apartments, branded residences, townhouses and waterfront villas. The first project, EDGE at Raha Island, is an 11-storey tower with around 237 homes, including studios, 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, penthouses and chalets. Off-plan apartments start indicatively from about AED 750,000; branded waterfront villas such as the Armani Beach Residences at Raha Island reach the high AED 20 millions. All prices are indicative and vary by building, size and sales phase.

Payment plan and handover

Typical off-plan payment plans start at around 10 percent down, with the balance staged to handover. All purchases run through regulated escrow accounts. EDGE is scheduled for completion in Q2 2027, with later phases to follow. All dates are developer estimates and can change.

Investment context and Golden Visa

Ras Al Khaimah is drawing international buyers thanks to the Wynn resort and growing tourism, at entry prices well below Dubai's islands. From a purchase value of AED 2 million, buyers qualify for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa; confirm exact eligibility with the relevant authority at purchase.
