Playa Del Sol

Overview

Playa Del Sol is a beachfront residential development by Ellington Properties on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah. It faces the Arabian Gulf, looks towards the Wynn Resort, and gives residents direct access to the Al Marjan Island Boardwalk and a private jetty with yacht services. The project is under construction, with handover scheduled for December 2027 (Q4 2027).

The range runs from studios through 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments to 4-bedroom penthouses and a 5-bedroom villa from 8,524 sq ft. The launch price on record is AED 3,600,000. The payment plan is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover.

Below you will find the location, the unit sizes, the amenities, the pricing and a short checklist for buying on the island. The figures come from our project record. Where a detail is not published, we say so.

Location and connectivity

Al Marjan Island is a resort district on the Ras Al Khaimah coast, lined with beaches, hotels and waterfront promenades. Playa Del Sol sits on the island's shore, about four minutes from the Wynn Resort, which is the reference point most buyers ask about first. The setting is quieter than a city centre, but the main shopping and leisure stops in Al Hamra are within a short drive.

Approximate drive times, as published by the developer:

• Wynn Resort: about 4 minutes
• Al Hamra Mall: about 8 minutes
• RAK Central: about 9 minutes
• Al Hamra Golf Club: about 10 minutes
• Royal Yacht Club of Ras Al Khaimah: about 12 minutes
• RAK Mall: about 25 minutes
• Al Qawasim Corniche and RAK Eye: about 27 minutes
• Ras Al Khaimah International Airport: about 31 minutes
• RAKEZ: about 33 minutes
• Jebel Jais entrance: about 42 minutes
• Sharjah International Airport: about 45 minutes
• Dubai International Airport: about 60 minutes

Two airports within about 45 minutes and Dubai International at roughly an hour make weekend use realistic for buyers based elsewhere in the UAE. The Jebel Jais entrance, at about 42 minutes, adds a mountain day out to the beach routine.

The residences

The architecture is clean and minimalist, with floor-to-ceiling windows, generous balconies and wide terraces planned to bring daylight in and keep the sea in view. Sizes, in square feet:

• Studio: from 400 sq ft
• 1-bedroom apartments: 683 to 759 sq ft
• 2-bedroom apartments: 1,061 to 1,382 sq ft
• 3-bedroom apartments: 1,898 to 3,779 sq ft
• 4-bedroom penthouses: 3,459 to 3,551 sq ft
• 5-bedroom villa: from 8,524 sq ft

The 3-bedroom category is the widest in the project, running from 1,898 to 3,779 sq ft. Two homes with the same bedroom count can therefore be very different, and the top of that range is larger than the penthouses. Ask what each quoted area includes, whether internal space only or balconies and terraces as well, before you compare prices.

The studios and 1-bedroom apartments suit holiday use and buyers starting small. The 2-bedroom units fit couples or small families. The 5-bedroom villa has its own private entrance and gives house-scale space while keeping access to the shared facilities, which suits a buyer who wants a beach house without running one alone.

Per-unit prices are not listed on our record, so ask us for floor plans and the current availability sheet.

About the developer

Ellington Properties is a boutique developer from Dubai with a design-led approach, known for considered architecture, premium finishes and close attention to detail. Playa Del Sol applies that approach to a beachfront site, with the emphasis on terraces, light and shared wellness space. Buyers who follow Ellington projects will recognise the focus on interiors and amenities.

As with any off-plan purchase, judge the project on its own documents: the sale and purchase agreement, the specification schedule and the construction progress reports.

Pricing and payment plan

The launch price on record is AED 3,600,000. Prices for individual units depend on type, size, floor and view, so ask us for the current price list.

The published payment plan:

• 20% on booking
• 40% during construction
• 40% on handover

The handover instalment is the one to plan for. On a purchase at the AED 3,600,000 launch price, booking would be AED 720,000 and the handover payment AED 1,440,000, before registration and agency fees. Unlike a payment plan Dubai developers sometimes offer with instalments after handover, this plan asks for the full balance by completion, which is scheduled for December 2027. Set aside the cash or arrange a mortgage well before then.

Buyer's guide for this project

Playa Del Sol is in Ras Al Khaimah, so the sale is recorded with the Ras Al Khaimah Land Department rather than Dubai Land Department. The registration fee is set by the Ras Al Khaimah authorities. Do not budget on Dubai's rate; ask us for the current figure in writing before you reserve.

Checklist before you commit:

• Confirm that every payment goes into the project's escrow account, and keep each receipt
• Check whether the quoted area is internal only or includes terraces, especially for larger 3-bedroom units
• Read the handover clause and the delay provisions in the sale and purchase agreement
• Ask for the estimated service charge, and how the jetty and yacht services are charged
• Confirm freehold eligibility for your nationality
• Line up finance for the 40% handover payment early

If you are also comparing off-plan projects Dubai has on the market, put the handover date, the cash needed at completion and total fees side by side with Playa Del Sol.

Who it suits

Playa Del Sol fits buyers who want to be on the beach rather than near it, and who can meet a large payment at completion. It works well for:

• Buyers who want a beachfront home with a December 2027 handover
• Large or multi-generation families considering the 4-bedroom penthouses or the 5-bedroom villa
• Boat owners who will use the private jetty
• Holiday-home buyers living in Dubai, about an hour's drive away
• Investors who want to balance a Dubai property investment with a beach home in Ras Al Khaimah

It suits less well a buyer who needs a low cash outlay at completion, given the 40% handover payment.

FAQ

When is handover at Playa Del Sol?

Completion is scheduled for December 2027 (Q4 2027). Check the delay provisions in the sale and purchase agreement, as construction timelines can move.

Studios, 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments, 4-bedroom penthouses and a 5-bedroom villa from 8,524 sq ft.

What is the payment plan?

The plan is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover.

Is the purchase registered with Dubai Land Department?

No. Because the project is on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, registration is with the Ras Al Khaimah Land Department, whose fees are set separately.

How does Mahboob Estate support the purchase?

Our team works in Dubai real estate and handles Ras Al Khaimah purchases as well. As a real estate agency Dubai clients use for beach homes outside the city, we send price lists, floor plans and the payment schedule, then handle the reservation and registration with you.
