Marjan and Wynn Resorts have broken ground on Janu Al Marjan Island, a new luxury hotel and branded residences development in Ras Al Khaimah that is scheduled to open in 2029.
The project is the second joint venture between Marjan and Wynn Resorts on Al Marjan Island and will become the first Janu-branded destination in Ras Al Khaimah. It will be located adjacent to Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE’s first integrated resort, which remains under construction.
Designed by SCDA Architects, Janu Al Marjan Island will comprise a luxury hotel, branded residences and wellness-focused facilities overlooking the Arabian Gulf. The project was first announced in November 2025 and is expected to feature 132 guestrooms, a wellness centre, restaurants, beach club, branded residences and private villas.
Senior representatives from Marjan, Wynn Resorts, Aman Group and project stakeholders attended the groundbreaking ceremony.
Abdulla Al Abdouli, Group CEO of Marjan, said: “Breaking ground on Janu Al Marjan Island marks an important milestone in our long-term vision for Al Marjan Island as a globally recognised waterfront destination. As we continue to attract the world’s leading hospitality brands and investment partners, we are creating a diverse portfolio that strengthens Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism economy, expands its international appeal and supports sustainable long-term growth.”
Max Tappeiner, President of Wynn Al Marjan Island, added: “Janu is an exciting addition to Al Marjan Island and a natural complement to what we’re creating at Wynn Al Marjan Island. Its distinctive approach to hospitality brings something new to the destination. As neighbouring developments, we expect a natural connection between our guests and residents that will create meaningful benefits for both properties.”
Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group, said the development represented a significant milestone for the brand’s expansion in the UAE, adding that Janu Al Marjan Island would create “a vibrant setting where like-minded individuals can connect through shared experiences” while showcasing the region’s natural surroundings.
The project further expands the hospitality offering surrounding Wynn Al Marjan Island, which is due to become the UAE’s first integrated resort when it opens.
