Wynn Resorts is set to make its mark in the United Arab Emirates with Wynn Al Marjan Island, the region’s first integrated resort offering gaming. Slated to open in 2027, the development is positioned on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, a man-made archipelago stretching into the Arabian Gulf. This ambitious project will introduce a new level of destination resort to the UAE, combining luxury hospitality, entertainment, and gaming in one expansive property.
The development is being led by a joint venture between Wynn Resorts, Marjan, and RAK Hospitality Holding. The design is overseen by the renowned architecture firm HKS, with interiors crafted by the renowned Wynn Design & Development team.
The property will rise as a striking glass tower — expected to stand over 70 stories — offering over 1,500 guest accommodations, including rooms, suites, and villas. Guests will be welcomed into a destination that merges ultra-modern design with elements drawn from the natural surroundings of Al Marjan Island.
The resort will feature 24 restaurants offering a range of fine dining and casual experiences, complemented by multiple lounges, a beach club, and a nightclub. Many of these venues have been positioned to showcase panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, the pool areas, and the surrounding island setting. Several dining and lounge concepts will be led by acclaimed chefs and designers, bringing diverse culinary perspectives to the development.
In addition to its extensive dining options, the resort will offer a wide range of leisure and entertainment, including a shopping parterre with upscale retail, a five-star spa with salon, wellness center, and spacious meeting and event facilities. Guests will also enjoy world-class live entertainment, premium gaming facilities, multiple pools, a full-service marina, and private beach access.
Wynn Al Marjan Island is positioned to become a regional landmark, introducing the UAE’s first integrated gaming experience and setting new standards for resorts in the Middle East. The project reflects Wynn Resorts’ expansion into key global markets while offering something entirely new for travelers seeking a sophisticated, all-encompassing destination in the Gulf.
