Atara Launch The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort in RAK
Atara Development has launched The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort, the first Sheraton-branded residences in the GCC. It is a collaborative project between Atara Development and Marriott International, bringing Sheraton’s hospitality legacy into a residential format.
This project is located on Al Marjan Island. The concept is simple: waterfront living with direct access to a private beach and resort amenities. It is also near the UAE’s first integrated resort, closely linked to Wynn Resorts.
Property Highlights & World-Class Amenities
There are 159 branded apartments at The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort. Each apartment is designed to reflect a resort lifestyle with luxurious comfort and welcoming spaces. The amenities accommodate different moods throughout the day - from quiet mornings to social nights.
Wellness and leisure are a major focus. You get:
- Direct access to a private beach and multiple pools, including a signature rooftop infinity pool
- A wellness hub with a 9,000 sq. ft. gym, yoga studios, and a spa
The social side is equally deliberate, but it aims to keep residential tranquility intact. You can expect:
- A sky kitchen and rooftop lounge for gatherings and views
- A 7,000 sq. ft. signature nightclub designed for vibrant entertainment
If you are thinking family first, you still have plenty to work with:
- Indoor and outdoor kids’ play areas
- A gaming zone
- An outdoor cinema for casual evenings
Overall, the project is framed as modern multi-generational living, supported by a branded hospitality environment rather than a standard apartment block.
Exclusive Benefits: The ONVIA Owner Recognition Platform
Ownership here is not only about the unit and amenities. It also comes with ONVIA, Marriott International’s owner recognition platform, and the key point is that benefits take effect immediately upon purchase, not only after completion.
As an owner, you receive:
- Instant access to Marriott Bonvoy membership
- Curated experiences aboard The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
- Up to 20% off resort dining
- Best-in-class concierge services plus global travel privileges
So if you value travel, upgrades, and service, the package is designed to feel active from day one, even while the project is still under development.
Investment Potential & Pricing
Sales are open and prices start at AED 2.4 million. For many buyers, the branded angle is the main reason to pay attention. Generally, branded residences offer greater resale appeal and rental performance because they have a globally recognized name and service standard. With Marriott-linked branding, you are also tapping into a large loyalty ecosystem with consistent expectations for hospitality.
Another factor is execution. Atara highlights its in-house construction and development expertise with tighter control over architecture, interiors, and operational delivery. That can matter to you if you have seen how timelines and finishing quality can vary across the market.
Conclusion
Marjan’s Group CEO Arch. Abdullah Al Abdouli frames this launch as another milestone in Al Marjan Island’s evolution into a premier coastal destination and a sign that branded residential concepts are shaping the future of waterfront living in RAK. From Atara’s side, COO Umid Bazarov calls it a complete lifestyle ecosystem, where design, amenities, services, and location are curated for what today’s branded living buyer expects.
Simply, you are looking for Sheraton’s hospitality with a resort-led island setting; this project is for you. RAK’s entertainment and tourism growth also supports this kind of waterfront branded projects. No need to worry about returns, invest now and explore benefits.
