Located around 50 minutes from Dubai International Airport, the new marina is part of a larger integrated resort project by Wynn Resorts, which will include over 1,500 rooms and various entertainment and leisure amenities.
IGY Marinas has been appointed to operate the marina at the upcoming Wynn Al Marjan Island resort in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. The marina, which is currently under development, is expected to open in 2027 and will be the second IGY Marinas-managed facility in the Middle East.
Located around 50 minutes from Dubai International Airport, the new marina is part of a larger integrated resort project by Wynn Resorts, which will include over 1,500 rooms and various entertainment and leisure amenities.
The marina will feature 101 berths, designed to accommodate vessels up to 85 meters in length. IGY Marinas is providing advisory services during the development phase and will handle marina operations and marketing after its opening.
The marina’s design has been developed by Marina Solutions International (MSI), a UK-based consultancy. MSI has been involved since 2022, carrying out feasibility studies, market research, and technical design. According to the company, the marina aims to support Ras Al Khaimah's efforts to grow as a coastal destination.
Ras Al Khaimah has been positioning itself as an alternative tourism destination in the UAE, focusing on natural landscapes and cultural heritage. The Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority reported 1.28 million overnight visitors in 2024, with plans to attract 3.5 million annual visitors by 2030. The new marina is one of several developments supporting this tourism growth strategy.
The Wynn Al Marjan Island Marina project involves collaboration between Wynn Resorts, IGY Marinas, and MSI. The partners have emphasized the importance of detailed planning and experienced management in the development of this waterfront facility.
With the opening scheduled for 2027, the Wynn Al Marjan Island Marina is expected to add to the region’s growing marine infrastructure. By combining operational expertise from IGY Marinas with detailed design input from MSI, the project reflects a planned approach to marina development in the UAE.
As Ras Al Khaimah continues to invest in tourism and coastal projects, this marina could serve as a practical option for visiting yachts and support the emirate’s broader vision for sustainable growth in marine and leisure tourism.
