The absolute rare

Ten villas.
Never eleven.

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

Zaha Hadid
Architects

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

Al Marjan
Island

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

Wynn
Al Marjan

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

The villas

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.

Oystra villa private infinity pool with view toward Wynn casino tower on Al Marjan Island
Oystra villa garden and park view with organic curved architecture by Zaha Hadid Architects

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 interiors

Signed by HBA

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.

The entrance01 / 07
Oystra villa entrance hall with circular glass elevator and sculptural staircase by HBA

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

The living room02 / 07
Oystra villa open-plan living and dining area with curved glass wall opening to terrace by HBA

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.

The lounge03 / 07
Oystra villa living room with curved sofa, marble fireplace and arched bar alcove by HBA

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

The dining room04 / 07
Oystra villa dining room with marble table, camel upholstered chairs and book-matched marble wall by HBA

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

The master suite05 / 07
Oystra villa master bedroom suite with elliptical cove ceiling and sea-facing balcony by HBA

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

The bedroom06 / 07
Oystra villa bedroom with fluid ceiling cove, marble media wall and amber light panels by HBA

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

The bathroom07 / 07
Oystra villa spa bathroom with freestanding marble bathtub, fluted glass shower and dual vanity by HBA

Freestanding marble and bronze bathtub, fluted glass shower, double vanity. Travertine stone that breathes, a permanent private spa.

The spaces

The art of living

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.

The beach club01 / 07
Oystra beach club pool with gold inflatable float and central glass-walled social pavilion

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.

The lagoon02 / 07
Oystra beach club courtyard with dual-section resort pool and shell-shaped cabanas viewed from above

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

The rooftop pool03 / 07
Oystra rooftop infinity pool at sunset with cascading waterfall edge and golden-hour sky

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.

The rooftop bar04 / 07
Oystra rooftop infinity pool terrace with glass-enclosed lounge bar and panoramic sea view

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

The observatory05 / 07
Oystra rooftop pool with curved infinity edge overlooking beach resort and coastline

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

The park06 / 07
Oystra landscaped park and children's play area with curved residential buildings

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.

The arrival07 / 07
Oystra valet arrival drop-off with signature archway and OYSTRA signage

A sculpted portico. The silence before the welcome. A concierge who anticipates, a car that disappears. The OYSTRA logo on its stone pedestal.
