Ras Al Khaimah is set for a skyline transformation as Wynn Al Marjan Island officially tops out at 283 meters
Wynn Resorts and Marjan today announced a major construction milestone for Wynn Al Marjan Island, the region’s first fully integrated resort, as the project officially reached topping out. Rising to 283 meters across 70 floors, the tower has achieved its highest structural concrete point just 27 months after foundation works began. Upon the spire’s installation in 2026, the building will reach its full architectural height of 352 meters, becoming the tallest man-made structure in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah by over 100 meters. This milestone underscores the exceptional scale, pace, and engineering precision driving the development toward its planned Spring 2027 opening.
Progress continues across every facet of the resort. All 1,530 guest accommodations have now reached full structural completion, with interior fit-outs actively underway across 1,504 rooms and suites. The tower’s structural concrete frame is complete, façade installation is advancing at pace with 79% now in place, and the surrounding low-rise buildings have achieved 99% structural completion. With the main structure finished, the project has formally transitioned into the full interior build-out phase, which spans the resort’s extensive collection of rooms, suites, enclave accommodations, food and beverage venues, and signature public spaces.
Upon opening, Wynn Al Marjan Island will debut as the region’s first fully integrated resort. Set across more than 60 hectares, Wynn Al Marjan Island will feature 1,217 resort rooms and 297 Enclave suites, plus two Royal Apartments, four Garden Townhomes, and 10 Marina Estates. Guests will discover 22 restaurants, lounges, and bars, and a beach club, as well as the region’s most opulent spa and beauty destination, and a skylit shopping parterre with the world’s most luxury brands. The resort will also feature: Coral Court, a bespoke celebrations and events venue, The Showroom, a new theater experience, 12 pools, a 420-meter white-sand beach, and a deep-water marina designed to welcome superyachts from around the globe.
To commemorate the Topping Out milestone, senior leaders from Wynn Resorts, Wynn Design & Development and Marjan gathered atop the summit of the highest building in the Northern Emirates, overlooking panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf. The ceremony marked not only the completion of the tower structure but also a significant moment in the resort’s evolution. Distinguished guests received a commemorative steel bar taken directly from the building, a bespoke keepsake marking the achievement. Guests also enjoyed the rare honor of pouring the final concrete, sealing the milestone.
