What Mina Al Arab is like
RAK Properties' lagoon and beach master community on the Ras Al Khaimah coast, with two resorts open and a new downtown district under way. Suits buyers who want an established setting, not a single tower.
Mina Al Arab, now marketed simply as Mina, is the flagship community of RAK Properties, the emirate's listed developer. The developer cites 18 km of coastline, 5 km of beaches and 2 million sq m of protected mangroves. It is a lived-in place: earlier villa and apartment phases are occupied, there is a marina with cafés and shops at Lagoon Walk, and two resorts are trading, the 351-room InterContinental and the 174-room Anantara.
New building is concentrated on two islands. Hayat Island holds beachfront apartment projects such as Cape Hayat, Quattro Del Mar and the Anantara-branded residences. Raha Island is being developed as Downtown Mina, a denser district of mid-rise apartments (Solera, Nura, Skai, Mirasol) with a planned boulevard, yacht club and wharf. A Four Seasons resort and residences is planned on Raha Island, with RAK Properties expecting a sales launch in the first half of 2027, and a Nikki Beach resort is also planned.
RAK Properties reported in November 2026 that more than 5,000 homes were in planning, design, development or delivery across its land, that 748 homes had been made available for handover in the first nine months of 2026, and that unit sales in the period had declined. Several of the newer Raha Island projects were at an early stage: Skai was 14.9% complete, and Solera had finished enabling works with the main contract still to be awarded.
Mina is on the mainland coast with Al Marjan Island to its south-west. RAK Properties gives drive times of about 15 minutes to Ras Al Khaimah International Airport and about 55 minutes to Dubai International Airport.
Suits

In its favour
- One listed master developer controls the whole community.

- CBRE named Mina Al Arab, with Al Marjan Island, as leading apartment rent growth in H1 2026.
Worth knowing
- More than 5,000 homes are in RAK Properties' pipeline, so new supply will keep arriving for several years.
- Some 2025 launches had barely started main construction by late 2026; compare the contractual completion date with site progress.
- RAK Properties reported fewer unit sales in the first nine months of 2026 than a year earlier.
- Downtown Mina's boulevard, yacht club and Four Seasons are plans, not amenities you can use today.
- About 55 minutes from Dubai International Airport, and a car is needed.
