Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [BNW Developments](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/bnw-developments) | | Location | [Al Marjan Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/ras-al-khaimah/al-marjan-island), Ras Al Khaimah | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q1 2028 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 1,500,000 to AED 10,000,000 (published figure, 13 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 3,436 | | Home types | Studio apartments, 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments | | Total units | 336 | | Buildings | 2 | | Brand | Taj | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Taj Wellington Mews is a hotel-apartment development on [Al Marjan Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/ras-al-khaimah/al-marjan-island), carrying the Wellington Mews residential brand of Taj, part of The Indian Hotels Company (IHCL). It was signed in March 2025 as Taj's first branded residence in the UAE. The developer of record named on BNW's page is SAAR BNW Development FZ, the vehicle behind what the launch release calls SAAR x BNW, in which [BNW Developments](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/bnw-developments) is the named partner. The scheme is two connected towers of two basements, a ground floor, 12 upper floors and a roof, on a circular podium, holding 336 hotel apartments and six shops. Every apartment is sold fully furnished. BNW lists one-, two- and three-bedroom hotel apartments and quotes the project from AED 1.5 million. Property Finder also shows studios, with starting prices of AED 1.6 million for a studio, AED 2.6 million for a one-bedroom, AED 4.6 million for a two-bedroom and AED 10 million for a three-bedroom. Property Finder records a construction start in April 2025; BNW gives completion in the first quarter of 2028. The status of the units matters here. These are hotel apartments in a branded hotel development, so expect the operator to run letting, housekeeping and maintenance, with owners sharing income under a management agreement rather than letting freely. Read that agreement before buying: the fee structure, any rental pool, how long the brand is contracted for, and whether you can use the apartment yourself. The payment terms are the least settled part of the published information. BNW states 10% on booking, 50% before completion and 40% on completion. Property Finder shows two other versions, one with 5% and another with 30% payable after handover. Who it suits: a buyer who wants a hands-off, brand-managed holiday-let investment and accepts hotel-style ownership. What to weigh: the unresolved payment terms, prices per square foot well above the island's ordinary apartments, and the usual risk of buying from a developer with no completed project on the island yet. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Studio apartments | AED 1,600,000 | | 489 to 939 sq ft | | available | | 1-bedroom apartments | AED 2,600,000 | | 1,005 to 3,077 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | AED 4,600,000 | | 1,532 to 5,091 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom apartments | AED 10,000,000 | | 2,048 to 3,832 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 - Booking deposit: 10% (Immediate) - Before completion: 50% (Instalments to completion) - On completion: 40% (Q1 2028) Paid before handover: 60%.
