A resort that embraces the outdoors in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE

Ras Al Khaimah is growing in international popularity as a holiday and resort destination. The man-made Al Marjan Island comprises four coral-shaped islands with stunning white sandy beaches, luxury hotels and residences, and good connectivity to Dubai and the wider UAE.

An escape from busy city life, Al Marjan Island offers exciting water sports, state-of-the-art leisure facilities, restaurants and family-friendly parks and open areas, encouraging active, outdoor lifestyles that make the most of the natural landscape.

Situated on the shores of Al Marjan Island, OYSTRA is just a few minutes away from the site of the under-construction Wynn Al Marjan, which is set to become the UAE’s first-ever casino when it opens in early 2027.

OYSTRA redefines luxury living on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah

OYSTRA’s distinctive, fluid design, created as a living sculpture inspired by an open shell, with curved and flowing facades and balconies, embraces the development’s waterfront location and surrounding coastal landscape, complemented by sophisticated yet comfortable, soft and understated elegance on the interior.

This extensive site will be developed over a number of phases, ultimately comprising 950 one- to four-bedroom apartments, duplexes, penthouses and villas each with premium finishes, together with wellness, leisure, dining and lifestyle amenities including:

  • Outdoor social and poolside lounge areas
  • Cafes
  • 24/7 5-star concierge

  • Pet and family-friendly park

OYSTRA’s luxurious accommodation features:

  • VIP lobbies and reception areas
  • 26 elevators
  • Penthouse residences with private key-activated elevator access
  • Private cinema/theatre
  • Games room
  • Art gallery
  • On site healthcare

On a site that sits alongside Al Marjan Island’s top hotels and resorts, OYSTRA is set to establish a new benchmark for design excellence, aspirational resort living and innovation in engineering and architecture. Phase 1 is already fully sold out, with the launch of Phase 2 now approaching.

Omnium’s team, under the leadership of Nicholas Harris and Ross Kelly, looks forward to working in partnership with our client and its contractors, consultants and stakeholders, in order to efficiently deliver forward-thinking Commercial Management construction consultancy services that protect the vision and values of OYSTRA.
