The Beach House: Beachfront Duplexes on Al Marjan Island from AED 3M
Range Developments built The Beach House on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah. The project offers duplexes only, with direct beach access and a payment structure that requires just 5% to enter. For buyers evaluating beachfront residential options in the UAE, that combination of format, location, and entry cost is worth understanding.
Al Marjan Island: What the Location Means in Practice
Al Marjan Island sits about 60 to 75 minutes from Dubai by road. That commute distance makes this a practical base for people who live and work in Ras Al Khaimah, or for buyers treating it as a vacation home or investment property. It is not a commuter play for someone travelling to Dubai daily.
Beachfront land on Al Marjan is priced differently from Dubai's waterfront, and The Beach House reflects that. The price points here represent a distinct entry level for sea-facing property in the UAE.
What AED 3M to AED 5.2M Gets You
The price range runs from AED 3,036,940 to AED 5,242,929. The spread reflects three bedroom configurations:
- 1-bedroom duplexes from AED 3,036,940 (864 to 987 sq ft)
- 2-bedroom duplexes from AED 4,139,714 (1,629 to 1,998 sq ft)
- 3-bedroom duplexes from AED 5,242,929 (2,103 to 2,315 sq ft)
The per-square-foot math is worth examining. A 1-bedroom at 864 sq ft for AED 3,036,940 comes to around AED 3,515 per sq ft. A 3-bedroom at 2,315 sq ft for AED 5,242,929 is closer to AED 2,265 per sq ft. Buyers at the top of the range pay significantly less per square foot than those at the entry point. The price scale rewards buyers who can stretch the budget.
The 1-bedroom suits investors or individuals who want the lowest available commitment at this address. The 2-bedroom works for couples and small families. The 3-bedroom units, starting above 2,100 sq ft, function as full primary or vacation residences.
A Building of Duplexes
Every unit in The Beach House is a duplex. No single-floor apartments are offered. The format suits owner-occupiers who want a residential feel and differentiates the product from standard apartment buildings on Al Marjan. Multi-level units give both families and investors a layout that stands apart from the typical one-floor flat.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Waterfront | Beach Access |
| Recreation | Shared Pool, Gymnasium |
| Convenience | Valet Parking, Balcony |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
Six amenities covering the essentials. Beach access is the defining draw on a project like this. The shared pool gives residents an alternative on days away from the sea. Valet parking is uncommon in residential buildings and reflects a target resident who expects a higher-service environment, likely a vacation home buyer or investor focused on premium short-stay rentals. The gym and children's play area broaden the project's appeal to families and longer-stay residents.
Timeline
Construction started in April 2024. The expected completion was January 2026, which has now passed. The project is likely at or near the handover stage as of mid-2026.
Getting In for 5%: The Payment Structure
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% |
| During construction | 65% |
| Handover | 30% |
The 5% down payment is the entry headline. Getting into a beachfront duplex on Al Marjan for 5% of the purchase price is a low threshold. The structure then requires 65% across the construction period, spread over the build timeline rather than a single lump sum. The 30% due at handover is the final significant payment. Given that the project has reached its expected completion date, buyers entering now are likely looking at that handover payment crystallizing in the near term.
