The most anticipated resort in the Arab world — Wynn Resorts is bringing its signature luxury to the shores of Ras Al Khaimah, changing UAE tourism forever.
Wynn Al Marjan Island is a USD 3.9 billion integrated resort being developed by Wynn Resorts on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah. When it opens in 2027, it will be the largest resort project in UAE history — and the first property in the Arab world to feature a legal casino gaming floor.
Wynn Resorts is no stranger to record-breaking developments — the company built Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Macau, and Encore Boston Harbor. The Al Marjan project brings that same DNA of luxury, design excellence, and world-class entertainment to the UAE.
1,500+ rooms and suites across multiple towers, ranging from standard rooms to palatial penthouse suites with Arabian Gulf panoramas.
UAE's first regulated gaming facility. Expected to feature a full range of table games and slots in a Wynn-signature luxury environment.
Multiple world-class restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues consistent with Wynn's global reputation for culinary excellence.
Wynn signature spa, multiple pools, beach access, and comprehensive fitness and wellness facilities.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi maintain strict prohibition on gambling as part of their regulatory frameworks. Ras Al Khaimah, as a separate emirate with its own government, has chosen a different path — permitting regulated gaming as part of a major tourism diversification strategy.
RAK already has significant tourism infrastructure — Jebel Jais (UAE's highest peak), the world's longest zipline, luxury beach resorts, and excellent golf courses. Adding a Wynn resort with gaming is designed to position RAK as a complete luxury tourism destination attracting a new segment of international visitors.
What this means for visitors: From 2027, the UAE will offer both gaming and non-gaming luxury resort experiences. RAK is 60 minutes from Dubai — easily combined into a multi-emirate trip. Many visitors will use Wynn as a base and day-trip to Dubai's non-gaming attractions.
Wynn Al Marjan Island is expected to open in late 2027. The project is under active construction on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah. For the latest confirmed opening date and pre-opening reservations, visit wynnresorts.com.
