The Atara Collection
Branded Residences Al Marjan Island, A New Standard for UAE Living
Atara Development presents The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort, the GCC’s first Sheraton branded residences and the project that redefined what branded residence ownership means in the UAE.
Developed in direct partnership with Marriott International, this is not a licensing agreement with a hotel name attached. It is a co-development from the ground up, with Sheraton’s hospitality standards embedded into the architecture from the earliest drawings.
Located on the beachfront of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, these 168 waterfront apartments are designed for buyers who want something specific: a Marriott-managed address on the Arabian Gulf, with investment-grade credentials, a 30/70 payment plan, and global lifestyle privileges from the moment contracts are signed.
Al Marjan Island property values grew 33.3% in 2024. The Wynn resort opens nearby. Atara was already on the island before either of those facts became common knowledge.
As the developer behind these Sheraton branded residences UAE, Atara controls architecture, interiors, construction, and delivery entirely in-house. No outsourcing. The same team that drew the building is the same team handing over the keys in Q3 2028.

Location and Connectivity
Al Marjan Island, The UAE's Premier Waterfront Investment Address
The Sheraton Residences sit on the beachfront of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, a man-made island stretching 7.8 km along the Arabian Gulf coastline. It is 70 minutes from Dubai International Airport and five minutes from the Wynn Al Marjan Island Resort site.
The distance from Dubai is a feature, not a limitation. Al Marjan Island has its own gravity now.
In 2024, Al Marjan Island recorded 33.3% property value growth. That figure was driven by confirmed infrastructure: the $5.1 billion Wynn Resort under construction, the RAK Central business district, and consistent expansion of the island’s leisure and hospitality pipeline.
As off plan apartments Al Marjan Island, the Sheraton Residences are positioned at the centre of that growth, not at its edge.
For international buyers considering Al Marjan Island apartments for sale, the Sheraton branded residences UAE offer one of the clearest investment narratives in the region: defined growth drivers, confirmed catalysts, freehold ownership for all nationalities, and access to a Marriott-managed address that comparable branded developments in Dubai cannot match.
