Discover the lifestyle, connectivity, and investment potential of Hayat Island

Discover Hayat Island: a premium waterfront destination within Mina Al Arab, Ras Al Khaimah, offering exclusive beachfront residences, resorts, and a serene island lifestyle surrounded by mangroves and the Arabian Gulf.

  1. The setting

    Hayat Island is a prestigious waterfront destination in Mina Al Arab, Ras Al Khaimah, developed by RAK Properties. Nestled along the northern shores of the emirate, the island spans over 1 million square meters and embodies luxury coastal living surrounded by mangroves, beaches, and turquoise waters. Designed as a mixed-use resort and residential community, it offers a tranquil seaside atmosphere while being only a short drive from Al Marjan Island and Ras Al Khaimah City Center.

  2. Everyday living

    The island hosts a collection of high-end hotels, beachfront residences, and leisure attractions, including InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa and the recently launched Nikki Beach Resort & Residences Hayat Island. Residents and visitors enjoy pristine beaches, marina promenades, fine dining, and access to world-class wellness facilities, all within a master plan centered on nature and wellbeing.

  3. Buyer perspective

    As Ras Al Khaimah continues to position itself as a leading luxury tourism and investment hub, Hayat Island stands out as a key contributor to that growth. With limited waterfront inventory, attractive pricing compared to Dubai, and a growing number of branded projects, it is quickly becoming one of the UAE’s most desirable coastal communities for living and long-term investment.
