The Beach Residences on Al Marjan Island: Five Percent Down, Beachfront Address
Range Developments brings The Beach Residences to Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, offering apartments and townhouses from AED 1.1 million to AED 7.5 million. The scheduled March 2026 handover date has now passed, placing this project at or near delivery stage.
Al Marjan Island: What the Address Means
Al Marjan Island is a man-made archipelago extending into the Arabian Gulf in Ras Al Khaimah. From the island, Dubai International Airport is roughly 45 minutes by car; Dubai Marina is a similar drive. That distance shapes the buyer profile. Al Marjan works well as a holiday home, a rental investment in a waterfront setting, or a permanent residence for someone already based in RAK.
Day-to-day living requires a car. Most retail, schools, and services sit on the RAK mainland. The on-site restaurants at The Beach Residences reduce the frequency of those trips for meals, but the island location means most daily errands require leaving the island.
Understanding the AED 1.1M to AED 7.5M Spread
The range here is wide, and it reflects genuinely different products at each end. Studios start at AED 1.1 million, but two configurations exist at that floor price: a compact 512 sq ft Type A unit and a 1,652 sq ft Type B unit. The size gap at the same starting price is significant and worth examining across configuration options before deciding.
One-bedrooms open at AED 2.1 million, ranging from 895 to 1,985 sq ft. Two-bedrooms begin at AED 4.25 million, with areas of around 1,970 to 2,009 sq ft. Three-bedroom apartments start at AED 5.45 million, covering 2,693 to 3,894 sq ft depending on layout.
The townhouse tier starts at AED 5.45 million for a three-bedroom (3,300 sq ft). Four-bedroom and five-bedroom townhouses both carry a starting price of AED 7.5 million, but the five-bedroom spans 6,600 sq ft while the four-bedroom covers 2,333 sq ft. Buyers comparing those two configurations should weigh that size difference directly before committing.
Apartments and Townhouses: Who Each Product Suits
Studios and one-bedrooms suit investors and individuals looking for a beachfront foothold at a lower entry price. The larger apartments, from two-bedrooms upward, work for couples, small families, or buyers wanting more space without a villa. The three-bedroom at 3,894 sq ft is generous for the apartment category.
The townhouses target buyers who want multiple floors, private space, and a house-like layout. The five-bedroom at 6,600 sq ft is a substantial property. The four-bedroom at 2,333 sq ft is more compact but carries the same starting price, making the relative value between townhouse configurations worth examining.
On-Site Facilities
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Barbecue Area, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | On-site Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV |
Seven facilities across four categories. The indoor pool operates year-round regardless of RAK's summer heat and humidity. On-site restaurants reduce reliance on driving off-island for meals. The barbecue area and children's play area reinforce a family-oriented setup, which aligns with the larger apartment and townhouse buyers.
The amenity set is focused and practical. It covers what a beachfront residential project needs without overshooting.
Getting In for 5%
| Phase | Share |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% |
| During construction | 65% |
| Handover | 30% |
The 5% down payment is the headline figure here. It keeps the initial capital commitment low, which matters for investors managing multiple positions or buyers who want to limit upfront exposure. Construction instalments account for 65% of the total, spread across the build period.
The remaining 30% falls due at handover. With the March 2026 completion milestone now in the past, that payment is a near-term obligation for buyers entering now rather than a future one. The payment structure settles fully at handover with no post-handover instalment component.
