Ras Al Khaimah is poised for a tourism boom with the Wynn integrated resort on Al Marjan Island. Studies forecast visitor numbers doubling from 1.3 million to 3.8 million by 2027, reaching 5.5 million thereafter, elevating the emirate in UAE hospitality.
Project Highlights
The Wynn resort, opening in 2027, will offer 1,530 rooms, 22 dining venues, luxury retail, spa, and entertainment. Described as a “game-changer” by Marjan’s Tariq Bsharat, it mirrors successes in Singapore, Macau, and Las Vegas, driving exponential visitor growth. EY, Colliers, and JLL studies predict a 9% UAE-wide arrival increase from the resort alone, spurring population growth to 600,000 and demand for 45,000 homes.
