Wynn Al Marjan Island (Arabic: جزيرة وين المرجان) is an under-construction integrated resort developed by Wynn Resorts in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.[3]
Location and features
Wynn Al Marjan Island is being built on Al Marjan Island, a new development in Ras Al Khaimah.
The integrated resort will feature 1,542 hotel rooms, 22 private villas, a 20,900 square metre main casino, 22 restaurants, 15,000 square meters of retail space and 7,500 square meters of convention space.[4][5] In April of 2025, Wynn Resorts revealed renderings of what the hotel rooms will look like.[6] [7]
The resort will feature an additional casino on the 22nd floor, which has been described as a “sky gaming casino”.[8]
Included in the hotel will be 313 exclusive suites called Enclave. These suites will be located towards the top of the resort tower and will feature a separate and private entrance from the rest of the resort. [9] Enclave will also feature a private pool and a private beach. [10] [11]
History
Wynn Resorts secured the first gaming license awarded in the United Arab Emirates in 2024 while Wynn Al Marjan Island was under construction. This will make Wynn Al Marjan Island the first casino resort in the UAE.[12][13] Wynn Resorts stands to have a monopoly on gaming in the UAE for the first several years before other potential casinos may open.[14] Authorities in the UAE have indicated that they have no plans to award additional casino licenses in the immediate future and it is unknown when that might happen. [15] [16]
By the end of 2024, construction on the property was progressing quickly. 55% of structural concrete was in place and complete up to the 26th floor. 73% of the guest rooms were also in place. Wynn Resorts expects a topping out by December 2025, with the resort opening in early 2027.[17] Wynn has also acquired an additional 155 acres of land on Al Marjan Island for further development of Wynn Al Marjan Island.[18]
In early 2025, Wynn Resorts acquired the Crown London Aspinalls casino in London from Crown Resorts. It was rebranded as Wynn Mayfair in June 2025. [19] The purpose of this acquisition is to bring British gamblers to Wynn Al Marjan Island after it opens. [20]
By February 2025, Wynn Resorts had completed financing for Wynn Al Marjan Island. [21] [22] It has also been reported that there has been high demand for retail space at the new resort. Rolex has been mentioned as a retailer likely to have a store at the resort. [23]
Wynn Resorts commenced the process of hiring staff for the resort in May of 2025. Multiple job openings were listed less than two years prior to the resort’s planned opening. [24] As June 2025 approached, the resort was reaching 60% completion. [25]
