Fairmont Residences at Al Marjan Island
Hotel Branding on RAK's Gulf Waterfront
Fairmont Residences at Al Marjan Island is a residential project by Ardee Developments on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah. The development carries the Fairmont hotel brand, connecting the residences to a recognized international hospitality standard. The branding shapes the common area specification, the service infrastructure, and the design brief across the community. Three property types are available: apartments, townhouses, and villas. That range within a single branded address gives buyers with different space requirements access to the same location and amenity profile.
What Al Marjan Island Means in Practice
Al Marjan Island is a man-made island extending into the Arabian Gulf from the RAK coastline. It has developed as a hospitality and residential destination, with hotels and communities built along its waterfront. The island's geography gives most residences a direct water outlook. RAK sits roughly 45 to 60 minutes from central Dubai by road. For buyers whose professional and family commitments center on Dubai, the commute is the central practical consideration. For those seeking a waterfront address well outside central Dubai's pace and density, the location is a deliberate draw.
One Entry Price Across Three Product Types
The listed price is AED 2,490,000. Apartments, townhouses, and villas are all available within the same branded development at this address. At the apartment level, this price suits investment buyers and those purchasing a secondary residence with Fairmont hospitality services on-site. Townhouses offer more floor area and a residential scale that fits families or buyers looking for permanent occupancy within a branded community. Villas represent the fullest commitment: a branded waterfront home for buyers making this their principal address.
A Self-Contained Leisure Environment
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Dining and hospitality | Restaurants, Dining in building |
| Leisure and recreation | Infinity Pool, Children's Pool, Cinema, Beach Access |
| Wellness and fitness | Gymnasium |
| Common areas | Landscaped Gardens, Lobby in Building |
Nine amenities cover the development. Beach access and an infinity pool anchor the leisure offer at a level that fits the waterfront and brand context. The cinema stands out in the list. Its inclusion signals a project oriented around on-site entertainment rather than relying on the wider island or the mainland for daily leisure. In-building dining, the children's pool, the gymnasium, and landscaped gardens complete the set. Together they create a community where most daily and leisure needs can be met without leaving the development, an amenity profile that suits families and long-stay occupants.
Just Over Two Years to Handover
Construction began in June 2025. Handover is expected in December 2028, leaving buyers entering now just over two years of the construction phase ahead. Breaking ground moves the project past the earliest stage of off-plan uncertainty. The December 2028 date anchors both the payment schedule and the possession timeline for buyers assessing this as an off-plan entry.
Getting In for 5%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% |
| During construction | 55% |
| On handover | 40% |
The entry cost is 5% at signing, which on an AED 2,490,000 purchase is approximately AED 124,500 at contract. A further 55% spreads across the construction phase, running through to December 2028. The remaining 40% falls due at handover. There is no post-handover installment structure; the full balance settles at completion. The plan keeps initial outlay low, concentrates the bulk of payments through the build period, and ends with a significant final payment at handover.
