Overview

Beachfront apartments and penthouses by Aldar on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, beside Nikki Beach Residences. Aldar still lists three- and four-bedroom homes from AED 5.16 million.

Rosso Bay Residences is part of Aldar's first waterfront project in Ras Al Khaimah, on 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.

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 3-bedroom apartment at Rosso Bay ResidencesAED 5,158,200

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 103,164

Estimated total to completeAED 5,261,364about £1.08M

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.
