Wynn Al Marjan Island chooses marina operator
Wynn Al Marjan Island Marina in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, has selected IGY Marinas as the marina operator.
IGY Marinas has been engaged by Wynn Resorts to advise on the marina’s design and development, offering pre-opening advisory services, followed by post-opening management and marketing services. Through strategic collaboration between Wynn Resorts, IGY Marinas, a global leader in premier marina destinations, and Marina Solutions International (MSI), Wynn Al Marjan Island Marina is set to become an iconic yachting destination within the region.
Wynn Al Marjan Island will be a premier integrated resort, featuring 1,530 opulent rooms and suites, and a host of entertainment and leisure amenities. IGY Marinas will manage a world-class marina at the resort, designed to accommodate leisure craft and superyachts, offering unparalleled services to guests.
Steve English, CEO of IGY Marinas commented: “Our involvement in the Wynn Al Marjan Island project represents a significant milestone for IGY Marinas. We are excited to build on our existing presence in marina management in the Middle East and contribute to the creation of a world-class destination for yachting and gaming enthusiasts”.
The marina basin will feature 101 berths, accommodating yachts up to 85 meters length overall, to ensure optimal berthing for superyachts and luxury vessels. Engineered to the highest international standards, the marina will offer cutting-edge berthing technology, and superior marine services to cater to the growing demand for ultra-luxury waterfront experiences.
Marina Solutions International (MSI) has been involved throughout the project since the feasibility stage and designed the 101-berth superyacht marina.
James Beaver, Director at Marina Solutions International (MSI) commented: “MSI has been working closely with Wynn Resorts on the Al Marjan Island Marina project since 2022. Our involvement from the start has been to provide an extensive feasibility study for the marina, establish its market position, provide conceptual and detailed marina designs and operational consultancy. We’re delighted that we could support Wynn and assist in the process of selecting a world-class operator in IGY. This marina is a huge opportunity for the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah to establish itself as a yachting destination. We look forward to the continued development of the marina and, once open, to seeing its success unfold long into the future.”
Wynn Al Marjan Island will be the first integrated resort in the United Arab Emirates. Set to open in 2027, the resort will be located 50 minutes from Dubai International Airport in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. Wynn Resorts is developing the project in partnership with Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding, creating a new category of luxury in the region. The resort will offer 1,530 rooms and well-appointed suites, as well as 22 restaurants, lounges, and bars, a theater, a nightclub, and a beach club adjacent to the Arabian Gulf.
In addition, Wynn Al Marjan Island will feature multiple swimming and wading pools, water features, private cabanas, and tropical landscaping, a five-star spa, and a salon. The resort will have its own marina with 101 berths to accommodate luxury yachts. The resort will also include a 15,000-square-meter shopping promenade filled with the world’s top luxury boutiques, and a 7,500-square-meter meetings and events center. Ras Al Khaimah is emerging as one of the UAE’s most exciting tourism destinations, known for its stunning coastline, outdoor adventure offerings, and cultural heritage.
