Rosso Bay Residences

Rosso Bay Residences is a beachfront residential development by Aldar Properties, located on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. It comprises 1,195 apartments and penthouses across three buildings, with unit sizes ranging from 1,012 sq.ft to 3,272 sq.ft. Aldar Properties is Abu Dhabi's largest listed developer, with a strong track record across the UAE.

The project offers 1, 2, 3, and 4-bedroom apartments alongside exclusive four-bedroom penthouses. Sizes start at 1,012 sq.ft for one-bedroom units and go up to 3,272 sq.ft for larger configurations. Select units are delivered fully furnished with designer pieces, making them move-in or rent-out ready from day one.

Prices at Rosso Bay Residences start from AED 1,500,000 for a 1-bedroom apartment. A 60/40 payment plan is available, with 60% paid during construction and the remaining 40% on handover in 2028. Fully furnished unit options may carry a premium over standard units.

Rosso Bay Residences is scheduled for handover in 2028. The development is currently off-plan and being built on the shoreline of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. Buyers benefit from a structured 60/40 payment plan spread across the construction period.

Residents have direct beach access with sun loungers, multiple swimming pools, a fully equipped gym, a kids' club, and a stylish lobby café. Members receive exclusive discounts at on-site F&B outlets, retail stores, fitness programmes, and salon services. Special events and masterclasses are also part of the Rosso Bay membership benefits.

The development sits directly on the shoreline of Al Marjan Island, a man-made island in Ras Al Khaimah connected to the mainland via Al Marjan Island Boulevard and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Salem Road. Dubai is reachable in under one hour by car using this highway. The historic Al Jazeera Al Hamra open-air village museum is just a 15-minute drive away.

Al Marjan Island is one of the fastest-growing resort destinations in the UAE, with the Wynn Al Marjan Island — set to house the country's first casino — opening nearby and expected to drive significant tourism and rental demand. Rosso Bay's furnished unit option makes it straightforward to lease out immediately after the 2028 handover. Ras Al Khaimah's expanding tourism infrastructure and relatively lower entry prices compared to Dubai waterfront projects add to the investment case.

Al Marjan Island is home to some of RAK's most luxurious hotels, resorts, beach clubs, water sports facilities, and fine dining restaurants. The island offers a quieter, resort-style lifestyle compared to Dubai, while remaining less than an hour's drive from the city. The imminent opening of Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE's first integrated entertainment resort, is expected to dramatically increase property values and rental yields in the area.
