Le Château

Marjan Beach is at the start of its growth story. Wynn Al Marjan Island is due to open in 2027, the wider masterplan envisages 12,000 hotel keys, and Ras Al Khaimah is working towards 3.5 million visitors a year by 2030, after a record first half of arrivals topping 670,000. Buying off-plan at Le Château secures a home in Evermore before the resort opens and the district fills in around it, with only half the price paid before completion. Early owners watch the neighbourhood take shape around them.

Ras Al Khaimah’s apartment market is moving in the right direction: in Cavendish Maxwell’s latest half-year review, rents rose by more than 6% and sale prices by almost 5%. Le Château is delivered semi-furnished and stands opposite a major new integrated resort, which suits investors planning to let to visitors and residents drawn to the coast. Off-plan homes made up 85% of the emirate’s residential deals in the last full year, so buyers here join a well-trodden path. Freehold title is open to buyers of any nationality.

A purchase of AED 2,000,000 or more qualifies for the UAE Golden Visa, and every residence at Le Château starts above that threshold. The visa gives 10-year renewable residency without a sponsor, extends to the owner’s family and carries no minimum stay requirement, leaving owners free to live, work and invest across the UAE. Off-plan purchases can qualify on the strength of the stamped Sale and Purchase Agreement, subject to approval, which makes a Marjan Beach apartment a route to long-term residency.
