Wynn Resorts has reported significant progress in the construction of its upcoming integrated resort, Wynn Al Marjan Island, located in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.
Designed to be the first gaming resort in the MENA region, the development has reached 55% completion of its structural concrete, with the main tower structure now standing at the 26th floor.
The $3.9bn project is on track for a December 2025 topping-off milestone, with current efforts focused on completing one floor per week.
Wynn Al Marjan Island will include 1,542 guest rooms, of which 1,121 are structurally complete, accounting for 73% of the total. Fit-out work is underway in 820 rooms, including the installation of walls, floors, ceilings and mechanical systems.
The resort will also feature a wide range of amenities, including 22 dining establishments, a luxury shopping promenade spanning 15,000 square meters and a nightclub.
Good to know: Approximately 9,100 construction workers are actively engaged on-site, supported by over 100 concrete trucks daily
In addition, it will host a five-star spa, a beach club, multiple swimming pools and a theatre designed for bespoke entertainment. A 7,500-square-meter meetings and events centre is also part of the plan.
The project is being developed in partnership with Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding, with Wynn Design and Development managing the design and architectural oversight.
Wynn Al Marjan Island is scheduled to open in early 2027 and is expected to become a focal point in the UAE’s evolving tourism and entertainment landscape.
This development follows a series of operational updates from Wynn Resorts, including a 9.9% stake acquisition by Tilman Fertitta, signalling a pivotal moment for the company’s global expansion strategy.
