5 August 2026, Ras Al Khaimah, UAE: Wynn Resorts has officially confirmed that Wynn Al Marjan Island will open its doors in September 2027, marking a significant milestone for Ras Al Khaimah's tourism and hospitality sector. The announcement provides the clearest timeline yet for the UAE's first integrated resort and reinforces the emirate's growing position as a global destination for luxury tourism and investment.
Developed through a joint venture between Wynn Resorts, Marjan, and RAK Hospitality Holding, the landmark project forms part of a USD 5.1 billion investment on Al Marjan Island. Wynn Resorts also confirmed that it has invested more than USD 1 billion in the development to date, with construction continuing at a rapid pace.
The project remains on schedule, with the resort tower now complete and work progressing across the facade, interior fit-out, and mechanical systems. Supporting infrastructure, including the 548-metre Wynn Bridge, which will connect the resort directly to major highways, is also advancing.
Once completed, Wynn Al Marjan Island will feature 1,530 rooms, suites, and residences, including luxury accommodation, 22 restaurants, lounges and bars, 12 swimming pools, a 900-seat theatre, a 145,000 sq. ft. meetings and events centre, a luxury spa, beach club, marina for superyachts, a 15,000 sqm luxury retail promenade, and 420 metres of private white sand beach.
The integrated resort will also become the first property licensed by the UAE's General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority, introducing regulated gaming facilities as part of its broader luxury hospitality offering.
To support operations, Wynn is developing Oasis, a dedicated employee community designed to accommodate more than 7,000 team members. The resort is also expected to create over 3,500 food and beverage roles across its 22 dining venues, contributing significantly to employment and the emirate's hospitality ecosystem.
Commenting on the project's progress, Craig Billings, CEO of Wynn Resorts, Limited, said:
"Importantly, we continue to invest in both growing and diversifying our business with construction at Wynn Al Marjan Island progressing at a rapid pace."
He added:
"Wynn Resorts, alongside our partners in Ras Al Khaimah, are now pleased to announce that Wynn Al Marjan Island, the most exciting integrated resort to be developed in over a decade, will open its doors to guests in September of 2027."
The announcement represents another major milestone in Ras Al Khaimah's tourism transformation, as the emirate continues to attract world-leading hospitality brands, landmark developments, and strategic investments. Upon opening, Wynn Al Marjan Island is expected to significantly enhance Ras Al Khaimah's global tourism profile while reinforcing its position as one of the Middle East's fastest-growing destinations for luxury hospitality, investment, and destination development.
