Al Marjan Island · Ras Al Khaimah · UAE
Ten private villas signed by Zaha Hadid Architects on Al Marjan Island. Sculpted architecture, panoramic ocean views, private infinity pool — just steps from Wynn Al Marjan. 100% Freehold, residence sponsor.
The absolute rare
A closed number. An address that cannot be replicated. On Al Marjan Island, these ten residences sculpted by Zaha Hadid Architects will only exist once.
The architecture
Premier projet entièrement résidentiel de ZHA aux Émirats Arabes Unis. Une architecture sculptée où la ligne droite n'existe pas — seulement le mouvement figé, l'horizon et la lumière.
The studio founded by Dame Zaha Hadid — the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004 — extends its parametric language here. Each villa is an organic shell: its curves embrace the natural ventilation of the Gulf, its thin-shell roofs filter light in continuous sheets, and its ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (BFUP) walls achieve spans that the material should not allow.
The geometry is not ornamental. It responds to a flow calculation: the wind, the low afternoon sun, the view from the beach. Nothing is left to chance. Everything is intention.






The territory


The coastline
Four and a half kilometers of waterfront. An island born from sand and ambition, facing the Arabian Gulf. Al Marjan is the first artificial coral island destination in Ras Al Khaimah — four crescent arches that form a protected lagoon, where calm water invites swimming all year round.
The island already hosts five-star resorts — Rixos, Marriott, Movenpick — and attracts a discreet international clientele. Oystra establishes itself as the rarest residential address in the archipelago.
The tax climate
Zero tax on income, capital gains, or property. A regime that protects what is passed on.
Ras Al Khaimah offers a complete freehold framework for international buyers, with 100% foreign ownership title, residence sponsor via investment, and no restrictions on resale or repatriation of funds.


The neighbor
Three minutes from Oystra, the region's first resort incorporating a casino opens its doors in 2027. A tourism catalyst transforming the island into a global destination.
Wynn Al Marjan Island is the country's first gaming resort outside of a financial zone. With a $3.9 billion investment, it incorporates 1,500 rooms, a 14,000 m² casino, signature restaurants, a 1,000-seat theater, and a convention center. The capitalization effect on waterfront properties is documented in all comparable precedents — Las Vegas, Singapore, Macau.
The exact exposure of each villa towards Wynn Al Marjan is confirmed by site plan, individually.
The residences
Ten residences. None identical. Each villa is designed as a unique piece — its position on the coastline, its orientation, and its interior program determine a geometry that exists nowhere else. This is not a series. It is a collection.


Each villa features its own private infinity pool, facing the Gulf. Interiors signed by HBA extend the architectural gesture — a continuity between the sculpted line of Zaha Hadid and the art of living. The landscape, entrusted to Cracknell, dialogues with the sand and the sea in a single botanical gesture: salt-tolerant indigenous species, centennial olive trees, and individually selected palm trees.
Home automation controls lighting, air conditioning, security, and audio on a single screen. Materials — Bourgogne stone, smoked oak, patinated bronze — are sourced and installed by European artisans. Nothing is standardized. Everything is measured for the villa that houses it.




The amenities
The development
Beyond the private villa, the Oystra development offers complete infrastructure: a crystal-clear lagoon, a beach club, padel courts, and a concierge who anticipates every request.
The interiors
HBA Hirsch Bedner Associates extends Zaha Hadid's gesture indoors. A continuity where the curve is never interrupted — from sculpted concrete to the silk of the cushions. Bookmatched marble, patinated bronze, smoked oak: every material is sourced and installed by European artisans, measured for the villa that houses it.

An entrance hall that sets the tone. Cylindrical glass elevator, curved staircase, and an organic light fixture suspended like a gold leaf.

An open volume where the curved glass wall fades away. The living room follows the curve, daylight enters from everywhere, and the terrace becomes an additional room.

Green stone fireplace, modular sofa that follows the curve, and a bar framed in an arched niche. Warm sunset light filters from behind.

Polished marble table, eight curved armchairs, and a bookmatched marble wall. Glass shelves illuminate the silverware like a display case.

A central bed facing the sea. The elliptical cove ceiling diffuses indirect light, and the balcony extends the room over the water.

The ceiling pours into a fluid column. Green marble media wall, amber light panels — every detail is a gesture, not an accessory.

Freestanding marble and bronze bathtub, fluted glass shower, double vanity. Travertine stone that breathes, a permanent private spa.
The spaces
Beyond the private villa, the Oystra development deploys exceptional infrastructure. Beach club, rooftop pool, landscaped park, and an arrival conceived as an experience — every space extends Zaha Hadid's gesture into daily life.

An infinity lagoon that merges with the sea. Shell-shaped cabins made of fiber-reinforced concrete, designed with the same gesture as the residence. The OYSTRA is reflected on the giant screen.

Two pools that intertwine — one rectangular and one serpentine. Half-shell cabins, a rocky waterfall, and the beach in the distance.

The sky, the horizon, and water that no longer has an edge. The golden sunset flows over the white concrete. A bar under a thin veil, suspended between the sea and the terrace.

A glass bar under a white veil. Sun loungers circle the water. The horizon is the only decor.

The water overflows toward the coast. Below, the private villas and the beach. In the distance, the Wynn. A unique viewpoint over the archipelago.

Gardens signed by Cracknell, designed for the family. An indigenous, salt-tolerant plant palette that dialogues with the architecture. A sculptural playground in the center of the orchard.

A sculpted portico. The silence before the welcome. A concierge who anticipates, a car that disappears. The OYSTRA logo on its stone pedestal.
The regime
A tax regime that protects what is passed on. Not an argument — a fact. Ras Al Khaimah applies the UAE's federal tax framework: no personal income tax, real estate capital gains tax, or inheritance tax. Rental income is also exempt.
The acquisition
Price is not information. It is a conversation. Since each villa is unique, its valuation depends on the position, the program, and the finishes selected with your interior designer.
Payment plan structured over 36 months · Delivery scheduled Q2 2029 · Plan to be confirmed contractually for the villas · Bank financing possible upon presentation of the file.
