Wynn Resorts, the US-listed international developer and operator of luxury resorts, has unveiled the design of its new integrated resort - Wynn Al Marjan Island - debuting in the northern emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. 

 

The design vision of its first-ever beachfront resort is inspired by the tranquil seascape of Al Marjan Island, a group of four islands, said the statement from Wynn. It is being developed with local partners Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding. 

 

Set in a pristine setting overlooking the azure waters of the Arabian Gulf, Wynn Al Marjan Island rises more than 1,000 ft above the sea, welcoming visitors to a premium luxury experience, including exceptional entertainment and gaming amenities. 

 

For its first project in the Mena region, Wynn will create a serene and stylish setting that takes inspiration from the stunning sea views and brings the warm, relaxed ocean setting into its modern world-class hotel. 

 

According to Wynn, the design takes its inspiration both from the natural landscape surrounding the resort and the leading design aesthetic of Wynn Resorts. 

 

The same geometric configuration of the curved shape of the beach on the island is echoed through the podium structure, similar to a great opera house, creating majestic views of the beach, sea and the horizon. Every diner in the abundant restaurant offerings lining the beach-facing at Wynn Al Marjan Island will enjoy sweeping views of the sea. 

 

With an estimated project cost of $3.9 billion, the iconic silhouette of Wynn Al Marjan Island will transform and accelerate the emirate’s rise as a major global tourist destination, while also creating substantial value to its economy through tourism and job creation. 

 

The project will pave the way for the accelerated growth of allied business sectors. Foundation construction work began onsite earlier this year, it stated.

 

The brand’s signature, high-design opulence will be reflected in its approximately 1,500 lavishly styled rooms, suites and villas, it added. 

 

The project will also boast a wide array of entertainment options, a gaming area, 24 dining and lounge experiences, innovative spa and wellness experiences, a high-end shopping esplanade, a state-of-the-art events center, a theater hosting a unique production show, and other amenities. 

 

Designed for both longer visits and day trips from neighboring emirates, the resort will offer abundant and layered experiences including nightly state-of-the-art laser and light shows, it added. 

 

CEO Craig Billings said: "We have spent the past year meticulously programming and concepting Wynn Al Marjan Island, carefully considering its unique location. I am incredibly proud of our design and development team’s ability to impart our legacy of rich, thoughtful design into a sun-soaked beachside resort that will delight customers, new and old."

 

"We look forward to opening Wynn Al Marjan Island in early 2027," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
