BnW Dolce Residences by Wyndham at Al Marjan Island, RAK

Dolce Residences by Wyndham is a boutique residential development on Al Marjan Island, by BNW Developments in partnership with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. This is the first Dolce Residences in the world, and it is the second project BNW has partnered with Wyndham, following the huge success of Ramada Residences. 

The building holds 93 residences and five retail spaces, with handover scheduled for Q4 2028. That unit count matters. Al Marjan Island has attracted several large towers over the past three years, and Dolce's strategy is different, prioritising a smaller resident community, quieter shared spaces and a stronger sense of address.

Dolce Residences Masterplan & Architecture

The design brief centres on restraint. BNW describes the architectural language as thoughtful, balanced and timeless, with maximise view corridors and holding a direct visual connection to the water and the surrounding landscape.

• Boutique-scale tower with 93 residences across an efficient floor plate

• Five ground-level retail units serving residents and the wider island

• Orientation planned around sea views and natural light penetration

• Wellness, experience and balance as core principles

• Refined material palette favouring simplicity over decorative excess

• Amenity zones layered vertically, including rooftop-level facilities

• Landscaped podium linking the building to the island's pedestrian network

Why Invest in Dolce Residences by Wyndham?

• First-of-its-kind brand: The world's debut Dolce Residences, a distinction that supports long-term resale positioning.

• Limited supply: Only 93 units, against a market where most Al Marjan projects come in over 200 units.

• Hospitality management: Wyndham operating standards applied to a residential product, supporting rental performance.

• The Wynn effect: Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE's first licensed casino resort, is targeting a 2027 opening nearby, and will capitalise the price by 2 to 3X.

• Freehold title: Al Marjan Island is a designated freehold zone open to foreign ownership.

• Entry pricing: Beachfront branded residence below comparable Dubai waterfront addresses.

• Rental demand: Island occupancy is supported by year-round tourism and a growing resident base.

• Established partnership: BNW's second project with Wyndham, following a working relationship already tested in the region.

Floor plans at Dolce Residences follow the boutique design layout. With 93 residences across the tower, floor plans include fewer units than the island norm. This translates into wider frontages, better cross-ventilation and fewer shared corridors. As per BNW other projects, this Dolce Residences' prime highlight is its all waterfront units, with floor-to-ceiling glazing, stone carving interiors and AI-enabled smart home. 

Interiors follow the Dolce design direction: metal theme color palette, clean lines and gloss finishes. Kitchens are integrated rather than separated, and bathrooms are specified to hospitality standards. Here is an inductive floorplan of Dolce Residence at Al Marjan Island.
