Preferred Hotels & Resorts has announced the addition of Wynn Al Marjan Island to its Legend Collection, marking a milestone ahead of the resort’s opening in Spring 2027.

Located less than 50 miles from Dubai International Airport in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, the $5.1 billion development represents one of the most ambitious luxury hospitality projects in the Middle East and will introduce a new benchmark for integrated resort experiences in the region. 

Developed by Wynn Design & Development in partnership with Marjan, Wynn Al Marjan Island has been envisioned as an opulent and entertaining beachside destination for discerning global travellers.

The resort occupies a picturesque island of more than 60 hectares that curves gracefully into the Arabian Gulf, offering a striking sense of arrival and seclusion. 

Rising 70 stories and reaching a height of 352 meters, the resort’s shimmering tower will feature 1,530 elegantly appointed accommodations, all offering panoramic water views.

This includes 313 suites within Enclave, a boutique hotel occupying the tower’s uppermost floors and designed to deliver an elevated, highly personalised guest experience. 

Amenities at Wynn Al Marjan Island will include 22 restaurants and lounges, a vibrant beach club, a state-of-the-art theatre, a five-star spa with salon and fitness facilities, a luxury shopping parterre, multiple swimming and wading pools, a 420-metre stretch of white-sand beach, a 98-berth deep-water marina, and Coral Court, a purpose-built events and celebrations centre designed to host weddings, social occasions, and large-scale gatherings. 

“We are delighted to welcome Wynn Al Marjan Island into our Legend Collection, joining a portfolio of iconic properties that set global standards for luxury and experiential travel,” said Saurabh Rai, Executive Vice President of South Asia, Middle East, and Africa at Preferred Hotels & Resorts. “This landmark development not only exemplifies the ambition and innovation that defines the Legend Collection but also reflects our expanding global partnership with Wynn Resorts, whose legendary properties in Las Vegas, Macau, and Boston are already part of our family. Together, we are setting bold new benchmarks for ultra-luxury hospitality in the UAE and beyond.” 

“From the outset, Wynn Al Marjan Island has been designed to deliver a truly singular guest experience, one that blends a strong sense of place with the scale, creativity, and service for which Wynn is known,” said Max Tappeiner, President, Wynn Al Marjan Island. “Our inclusion in Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ Legend Collection reflects a shared focus on distinctive, experience-led hospitality as we look ahead to our Spring 2027 opening.”
