Marjan and its joint venture partner Wynn Resorts have broken ground on Janu Al Marjan Island, their second collaboration on Al Marjan Island and one of Ras Al Khaimah’s most anticipated hospitality and branded residential developments.
Scheduled to open in 2029, the project will introduce the
first Janu destination to the emirate, expanding Aman Group’s footprint in the
UAE while strengthening Al Marjan Island’s position as a leading leisure and
lifestyle destination.
Announced in November 2025, the development is located
adjacent to Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE’s first integrated gaming resort.
The ceremony was attended by senior
representatives from Marjan, Wynn Resorts, Aman Group and key project
stakeholders, marking the official start of construction.
Designed by internationally acclaimed SCDA Architects, Janu
Al Marjan Island will feature a luxury hotel, branded residences and
wellness-focused experiences.
Inspired by Janu’s philosophy of meaningful connection,
wellbeing and social engagement, the waterfront destination aims to redefine
luxury living and hospitality in the emirate.
Abdulla Al Abdouli, Group Chief Executive Officer of Marjan,
said: “Breaking ground on Janu Al Marjan Island marks an important
milestone in our long-term vision for Al Marjan Island as a globally recognised
waterfront destination. As we continue to attract the world’s leading
hospitality brands and investment partners, we are creating a diverse portfolio
that strengthens Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism economy, expands its international
appeal and supports sustainable long-term growth. Janu’s approach to modern
luxury aligns perfectly with that vision, and this groundbreaking opens a
significant new chapter in the island’s journey on the global stage.”
Max Tappeiner, President, Wynn Al Marjan Island,
said: “Janu is an exciting addition to Al Marjan Island and a natural
complement to what we're creating at Wynn Al Marjan Island. Its distinctive
approach to hospitality brings something new to the destination. As neighboring
developments, we expect a natural connection between our guests and residents
that will create meaningful benefits for both properties.”
Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group, added: "The groundbreaking of Janu Al Marjan Island marks a significant milestone as we bring the Janu vision to life in Ras Al Khaimah. As one of the Middle East's most captivating emerging destinations, it is a natural home for the brand. Janu Al Marjan Island will offer a vibrant setting where like-minded individuals can connect through shared experiences, immerse themselves in the region's striking natural beauty, and embrace the brand's spirited approach to contemporary, connected living." -TradeArabia News Service
