The highly anticipated Danah Bay development on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah has reached a major milestone, with Phase 1 handovers officially underway. Developed by Dubai Investment Real Estate, a subsidiary of Dubai Investments, the project has completed 171 landslide villas which are now ready for occupancy. The first phase comprises a combination of townhouses and three-to-five-bedroom villas, fully finished with internal works, landscaping, infrastructure and service connections in place.
A Premium AED 1 billion Beachfront Community
Danah Bay represents a landmark AED 1 billion investment in upscale coastal living. Set across more than 90,000 square metres, the project blends residential, retail and hospitality components in a vibrant, master-planned environment. Located along the scenic waterfront of Al Marjan Island, the development offers a resort-style lifestyle with direct beach access, landscaped public areas, and community spaces that cater to both residents and tourists.
Construction Progress Beyond Phase 1
While the handover of the landside villas signals the start of life at Danah Bay, construction continues on other key components of the project. The Breakwater Villas, located on the shoreline, are making strong progress. Eight villas on the villa side of the breakwater are around 91 percent complete, while ten units on the hotel-facing side are nearing 70 percent. At the same time, the 19-storey Danah Bay Residential Tower is moving forward with 75 percent of foundation and substructure works completed and vertical construction actively underway.
A Lifestyle-Centric Vision
Danah Bay is designed not just as a place to live, but as a fully integrated lifestyle destination. The community will feature a waterfront boardwalk, lush green spaces, boutique retail and dining outlets, and a four-star hotelD. All elements are aimed at creating a relaxed, family-friendly beachfront atmosphere, balancing luxury with functionality and community spirit.
Boosting Market Confidence in Ras Al Khaimah
The timely handover of Phase 1 further strengthens the buyer and investor confidence in Ras Al Khaimah’s real estate sector. Property transactions in the emirate rose by 20 percent in 2023, and projects like Danah Bay are playing a vital role in driving that momentum. With prices roughly 30 to 40 percent lower than comparable Dubai properties, the emirate is attracting increasing attention from end-users and investors alike. Danah Bay, in particular, is expected to deliver strong rental yields and long-term capital growth.
Looking Ahead
As Phase 1 residents begin moving in, attention shifts to completing the remaining villas, apartments, and hospitality components. With future phases on track and a strong foundation already in place, Danah Bay is positioned to become one of the UAE’s most desirable beachfront communities.
