First look at Wynn Al Marjan Island's beach, lagoon and reef

The Wynn Al Marjan Island resort in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, is progressing towards its September 2027 opening, with the construction of its 550-metre beachfront now complete. The private shoreline will offer guests a variety of water activities, including snorkeling, swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking in the sheltered lagoon. Offshore, a 319-metre network of reefs has been installed, providing a habitat for coral and marine life, including osprey nests.

The existing marine conservation efforts in the emirate have been enhanced by this addition. Notable dive sites feature natural reefs and shipwrecks, attracting wildlife such as Indian Ocean humpback dolphins, turtles, and over 500 species of fish. Resort president Max Tappeiner expressed the vision of creating an exclusive beachfront experience for guests, with the hotel featuring a private beach that includes three distinct areas: a general resort beach, an adult-only beach, and the Enclave beach for Enclave suite guests.

The UAE's first integrated gaming resort, which has obtained the country's first commercial gaming license in October 2024, will consist of 1,530 rooms and suites, along with a range of dining, entertainment, and retail options, as it prepares to open its doors.
