Marjan, in partnership with RAK Hospitality Holding and Wynn Resorts, Limited, has announced the appointment of two contractors to undertake integral construction works of the integrated Wynn Resort set to open in Ras Al Khaimah early 2027.

ALEC Engineering and Contracting LLC (ALEC), part of the Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) and experienced in the construction of complex and iconic projects across diverse sectors, was awarded the main contract for the construction of the integrated resort development.  Bauer International FZE, the German foundation specialist, will undertake the piling and enabling works.

Bauer has begun construction preparation on the project site, located on the man-made Al Marjan Island, the flagship project of master developer Marjan. With a growing portfolio of bold and ambitious hospitality and leisure attractions, the cluster of four coral-shaped islands is emerging as a truly world-class lifestyle and waterfront destination in the region.

The integrated resort development on Al Marjan Island is the largest project of its kind in the Emirate’s growing hospitality sector. Offering a pristine setting with spectacular views of the Arabian Gulf as well as sandy beaches and a marina, the project is the first in the MENA region by Wynn Resorts, the US-based developer, designer and operator of luxury integrated resort experiences. 

Eng. Abdulla Abdooli, Chief Executive Officer of Marjan, said: “To fulfil and surpass the expectations of investors and all our stakeholders, we have teamed up with the best-in-class partners for the timely completion of a project that is the largest of its kind in the Emirate’s growing hospitality sector. Well-known for their cross-sector capabilities and expertise in building landmark projects, the appointment of ALEC Engineering and Contracting LLC and Bauer International FZE will ensure the timely completion of the integrated Wynn Resort, that is set to further catalyse Ras Al Khaimah’s booming tourism market.”

Attracting significant foreign direct investments, the new integrated resort highlights Ras Al Khaimah’s growing global reputation as a leading investment destination for high-quality hospitality projects. The integrated development features a 1,000+ room hotel, high-end shopping mall, a state-of-the-art meeting and convention facility, an exclusive spa, more than 10 restaurants and lounges, a wide array of entertainment choices, gaming area, and other amenities. Investments in the project will further enrich the local economy and accelerate tourism, create new job opportunities, and energise the growth of allied sectors.
