Branded residences are having a moment in the UAE, and Ras Al Khaimah’s Al Marjan Island is fast becoming the address to watch. As global names anchor lifestyle-led projects along its shores, the master-planned destination continues to rise in relevance for investors seeking resort living with five-star services. Now, Sheraton joins the upswing.
ATARA Development has signed a landmark agreement with Marriott International to debut The Residences at the Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort - the GCC’s first Sheraton-branded residences. Co-located with the forthcoming resort, the beachfront enclave features 141 units and over 50 world-class amenities, pairing modern architecture and elegant interiors with in-house hospitality services franchised by ATARA. The signing was attended by dignitaries from Marjan and Marriott, including Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Marjan, underscoring the project’s strategic importance to the island’s growth as a premier coastal lifestyle hub.
For ATARA Development, the project marks a definitive step into primary development, building on sold-out successes across Pearl Jumeirah, La Mer South Island, and Dubai Islands, and a pipeline exceeding 1 million sq ft over the next two years. For Marriott International, it’s a milestone within its global residential portfolio, bringing Sheraton’s legacy of connection and service to a rare waterfront setting.
With Ras Al Khaimah’s economy projected to expand steadily through 2027, The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island offers a compelling proposition: resort-style, fully serviced living backed by an iconic hospitality brand, where home feels like a holiday, every day.
