Overview

A four-tower beachfront scheme by Ellington on Al Marjan Island, close to the Wynn resort, with studios to villas and one-bedroom apartments from AED 2.8 million; completion is listed for September 2028.

Costa Mare is a beachfront development by Ellington Properties on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. Property Finder describes four buildings with about 900 homes, and Ellington's page says residents will have direct beach access and are about 2 minutes from the Wynn resort. Property Finder records construction from February 2025 and completion in September 2028.

The range is wide. Ellington lists studios, one- to four-bedroom apartments, one- to three-bedroom duplexes, four-bedroom penthouses and five- to six-bedroom villas. Property Finder's unit table on 13 November 2026 gave one-bedroom apartments of 840 to 919 sq ft from AED 2.8 million and two-bedrooms of 1,265 to 1,530 sq ft from AED 4.3 million, with three- and four-bedroom apartments, duplexes and a five-bedroom villa of 7,735 sq ft priced on request. Its FAQ gives studios of 385 to 606 sq ft and a different two-bedroom range starting at 1,096 sq ft and AED 3.4 million, so treat the per-type figures as indicative and ask for the unit sheet.

The shared spaces include a family pool with a kids' pool, a leisure pool, pet gardens, indoor and outdoor yoga and fitness areas, a cinema room, a steam, sauna and ice room, and shops and cafés at ground level. Ellington also mentions smart-home features.

The listed plan is 20% at launch, 50% across eight instalments during construction and 30% on handover.

Costa Mare is priced for buyers who see Al Marjan Island as a resort market shaped by the Wynn opening, rather than as a cheaper alternative to Dubai. At AED 2.8 million for a one-bedroom, entry is close to Dubai beachfront levels. The island has a large pipeline of branded and resort apartments, Ras Al Khaimah's rental and resale market is much smaller than Dubai's, and holiday-let returns depend on visitor numbers that are still building. Buyers should see it as a longer hold.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Ras Al Khaimah the registration authority is the RAK Municipality.

Purchase priceEntry 1-bedroom apartment at Costa MareAED 2,800,000

Registration fee (2%, indicative)Ras Al Khaimah's buyer registration fee is most often quoted at 2%, but published sources disagree and master developers can apply their own registration charges. Confirm the figure for the specific project before budgeting.AED 56,000

Estimated total to completeAED 2,856,000about £585K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Registration fees in Ras Al Khaimah are quoted inconsistently by official and market sources, so treat this as indicative. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
