Aldar still lists three- and four-bedroom homes from AED 5.16 million. Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [Aldar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/aldar) | | Location | [Al Marjan Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/ras-al-khaimah/al-marjan-island), Ras Al Khaimah | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q4 2028 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 5,158,200 to AED 13,738,100 (developer price list, 13 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 2,830 | | Home types | 3-bedroom apartments, 4-bedroom apartments, 4-bedroom penthouses | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Rosso Bay Residences is part of [Aldar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/aldar)'s first waterfront project in Ras Al Khaimah, on [Al Marjan Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/ras-al-khaimah/al-marjan-island). It is one of two buildings Aldar is developing on the same stretch of the island, the other being the branded Nikki Beach Residences. Aldar describes Rosso Bay as beachfront apartments with hotel-style services, in layouts from one to four bedrooms and sizes from 804 to 5,050 sq ft, including penthouses. The smaller homes have gone. On 13 November 2026 Aldar's own unit listing showed three-bedroom apartments from AED 5,158,200 to AED 5,388,900, four-bedroom apartments from AED 6,654,800 to AED 8,964,300, and four-bedroom penthouses from AED 10,565,400 to AED 13,738,100. Aldar notes a reservation deposit of AED 25,000 on each unit. Owner resales also appear on Aldar's listing, including a one-bedroom apartment. Property Finder, by contrast, marks the project sold out and shows launch prices from AED 1.5 million for one bedroom; that figure is history, not a current price. Aldar's page does not state a completion date. Property Finder lists November 2028, in the fourth quarter, with construction recorded from April 2024. Its published plan is 10% at launch, 50% during construction and 40% on handover. With construction well advanced, a buyer now may face a larger first payment to catch up with the instalments already due, so ask Aldar for the payment schedule that applies today. On the cheapest three-bedroom flat, 40% at handover is about AED 2.06 million. The facilities lean towards the beach and families: a beach clubhouse, beach lounge and beach sports, a pool, an outdoor gym and yoga deck, a sauna and treatment room, a library, a game room, a family lounge and play areas. Hotel-style services usually mean a higher service charge, and Aldar has not published one, so ask for the estimate in writing. The case rests partly on Al Marjan Island itself. Its market has been driven by the Wynn Al Marjan Island resort, now due to open in September 2027, and the island's master plan allows for many more homes, mostly smaller apartments. Rosso Bay's remaining three- and four-bedroom homes face less of that competition than studios would, and suit a buyer who wants a family-sized beach home or a holiday base. Property Finder puts Ras Al Khaimah International Airport about 25 minutes away. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 3-bedroom apartments | AED 5,158,200 | AED 5,388,900 | 2,687 to 3,361 sq ft | | limited | | 4-bedroom apartments | AED 6,654,800 | AED 8,964,300 | 2,626 to 3,620 sq ft | | available | | 4-bedroom penthouses | AED 10,565,400 | AED 13,738,100 | 2,618 to 3,918 sq ft | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 10/50/40 - Down payment: 10% (At sales launch) - During construction: 50% - On handover: 40% (Q4 2028 (Property Finder)) Paid before handover: 60%.
