Ras Al Khaimah’s real estate market is entering a new era of accelerated growth and
global attention, buoyed by rising capital values, robust rental yields, and a wave of
strategic developments.

In the first half of 2025, the ValuStrat Price Index for the emirate rose 13.8 per cent
year-on-year, with villas appreciating by 15 per cent and apartments by 13.2 per
cent. Hotspots such as Mina Al Arab led the surge, with villa prices climbing 20 per
cent and apartment values up 14.5 per cent.

Off-plan sales dominated the market, accounting for 85 per cent of freehold
transactions, with over 3,000 units sold worth Dh6 billion. Ready sales lagged
behind, totaling Dh646 million across 550 units. Rental yields remain attractive,
averaging 5.6 per cent, with apartments outperforming villas at 5.7 per cent versus
2.3 per cent.

The emirate’s transformation is being catalyzed by mega-projects like the Dh14.3
billion Wynn Al Marjan Island resort, set to open in 2027, and a Dh5 billion
investment pipeline from RAK Properties, which includes 12 luxury developments
across Mina and Al Marjan Island. Branded residences from global names such as
Ritz-Carlton and Aston Martin are expected to comprise 25 per cent of future supply.
