A new multi-billion-dollar integrated resort is coming to Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates. Wynn Al Marjan Island will mark the company’s first-ever beachfront resort and is inspired by the tranquil seascape of Al Marjan Island, a group of four islands. 

Set in a pristine setting overlooking the Arabian Gulf, Wynn Al Marjan Island rises more than 1,000 feet above the sea and will offer a premium luxury experience, including exceptional entertainment and gaming amenities.

With an estimated project cost of approximately US$3.9 billion, Wynn Al Marjan Island will feature approximately 1,500 lavishly styled rooms, suites and villas.
