Project Will Be the First Fully Integrated
Resort in the MENA Region
RAS AL KHAIMAH, UAE,
May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Wynn
Resorts, Limited (Nasdaq: WYNN) has released new images of its
latest luxury resort, Wynn Al Marjan
Island, currently under construction in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.
The development is the Company's first beachfront resort and is
being built on a beautiful island of almost 62 hectares jutting
into the Arabian Gulf. Wynn Resorts is developing the project in
partnership with Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding. It is
anticipated to be the first integrated gaming resort in the Middle
East North Africa (MENA) region.
Wynn Design and Development, employing more than 90 talented
architects, designers, and creative visionaries, is overseeing all
facets of the project's design and development. Wynn Resorts is
unique in that it maintains its own full-service design and
architectural team.
Wynn Design and Development has created all of Wynn's bespoke
gaming resorts. Having designed and developed iconic resorts on two
continents, and now with another in Ras
Al Khaimah, it is safe to say no single design and
architecture team has had a greater impact on the creation of
gaming resorts globally than Wynn Design and Development.
"Historically, the area around Ras Al
Khaimah was a beacon for navigation and important trade on
the Arabian Gulf. Early travelers through the gulf relied upon this
tented settlement as a trade landmark between the Arabian Gulf and
the Arabian Sea," said Todd Lenahan,
President and Chief Creative Officer of Wynn Design and
Development. "We designed the 300-meter-tall resort tower with
Ras Al Khaimah's historic role as
a great navigational sentinel in mind. We hope this becomes a new
landmark, a new beacon, for travelers to Ras A Khaimah from across
the globe."
Overlooking its own white sand beach with views of both the
Arabian Gulf and the natural beauty of Ras Al Khaimah rising to the Hajar Mountains,
Wynn Al Marjan Island will offer
guests the full complement of luxury amenities and experiences. It
will feature 1,542 rooms and well-appointed suites, including 22
opulent and private Villa Estates situated on the newly designed
marina adjacent to the resort. There will also be an extensive
poolscape adjacent to the beach with multiple swimming and wading
pools, water features, private cabanas, and tropical landscaping
covering 3.6 hectares.
The curated collection of 22 dining, lounge and bar experiences
will each be presented in their own uniquely designed space, many
with views of the beach and poolscape. The theater will feature
bespoke production shows.
The resort will also include a 15,000-square-meter shopping
esplanade filled with the world's top luxury boutiques, a five-star
spa, and a salon. The 7,500-square-meter meetings and events center
has been designed to accommodate meetings, conventions, and special
celebrations such as weddings. There will also be ample outdoor
event terraces and lawns.
Wynn Al Marjan Island began
construction in early 2023 with construction led by UAE-based main
contractor ALEC Engineering and Contracting. Currently, the
structure is about 40 meters tall. The full tower height, more than
300 meters tall, is expected to be topped off in the fourth quarter
of 2025. The resort will open to the public in early 2027.
Ras Al Khaimah is one of the
fastest growing tourism markets in the MENA region, conveniently
located near the Ras Al Khaimah,
Dubai, and Abu Dhabi airports. Comprised of four islands,
Al Marjan Island delights visitors
with nearly five miles of sparkling beaches and 24 kilometers of
waterfront, in addition to world-class hotels and residential
developments.
