UAE-based RAK Properties has announced that it has completed the design phase for its upcoming Nikki Beach Resort & Spa project located in Hayat Island on Mina, the company’s premium waterfront lifestyle destination in Ras Al Khaimah.

Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Ras Al Khaimah marks a key milestone in RAK Properties’ ongoing mission to attract globally recognised luxury brands to the emirate, stated the developer.

The design by internationally acclaimed architecture and design firm Gensler captures the essence of Ras Al Khaimah’s natural beauty while echoing the distinctive character of the Nikki Beach brand.

Spanning 33,580 sq m, the resort’s architecture is characterised by organic forms and soft textures that reflect the fluidity of the surrounding landscape, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor environments.

RAK Properties said the resort will feature 156 rooms, junior and executive suites, and luxurious sky villas, each offering unparalleled views of the Arabian Gulf and Ras Al Khaimah’s majestic mountain range.

The sky villas, with their expansive terraces and private plunge pools, will provide guests with an elevated experience of privacy and exclusivity, offering a 270-degree view of the surrounding bay and sea, it stated.

The collaboration with Nikki Beach, renowned for its signature blend of music, dining, entertainment, fashion, film and art, will bring the brand’s barefoot luxury experience to the heart of Mina, further positioning Ras Al Khaimah as a premier destination for both relaxation and recreation, it added.

Inspired by the emirate’s coastal and maritime heritage, the design blends natural materials like sand-hued walls with organic, earthy textures.

Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Ras Al Khaimah is scheduled to open in 2027, adding to RAK Properties’ portfolio of luxury projects.
