Wynn Al Marjan Island is accelerating toward its Spring 2027 debut in Ras Al Khaimah, announcing major developments across art, hospitality, dining, events and guest experience. The $5.1bn integrated resort, one of the region’s most ambitious tourism investments, is being positioned as a global luxury destination where museum-calibre art, world-class culinary concepts, cutting-edge design, and expansive entertainment converge across more than 60 hectares of oceanfront real estate.
In a series of milestone updates, the resort is spotlighting its signature art collection, previewing its event spaces, unveiling its first restaurant partnerships, and offering a first look at guest accommodations, showcasing the depth and scale of what will define Wynn’s first beachfront property.

Museum-calibre art to anchor the guest experience
Wynn Al Marjan Island confirmed it will debut a museum-calibre art collection on opening day, bringing together rare masterpieces, newly commissioned works and signature pieces from Wynn’s global portfolio. Exhibited throughout public spaces, guest rooms and suites, the collection forms an immersive Living Gallery built around one of the Middle East’s most significant private art holdings, Wynn Al Marjan Island’s media release said.
Spanning prehistoric, ancient, Victorian, Old Master, natural-world and Orientalist periods, the portfolio includes a 66-million-year-old Triceratops skull, a newly commissioned Light Into Life sculpture by British artist Marc Quinn, and a 10-metre 17th-century wool-and-silk tapestry with counterparts at the Louvre and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Major works from other Wynn properties will also be showcased, including Jeff Koons’ 11-metre Tulips, a Jaume Plensa sculpture from his Secret Garden series, a quartet of rare 18th-century Buccleuch vases, and a Victorian cut-glass console and mirror.
Todd-Avery Lenahan, President and Chief Creative Officer of Wynn Design & Development, said the art experience is built to be accessible, informal and memorable: “Beauty is a universal language… we design moments that encourage engagement across every age and background.”
A defining chapter of the collection explores a contemporary reinterpretation of the East-West artistic dialogue that shaped 19th-century Orientalism, reversing the historical journey by bringing significant works back to the region that inspired them. Notable pieces include Caravan in the Desert by Gustave Guillaumet and Rudolf Ernst’s Entering the Temple.
Events and celebrations: Inside the Coral Court
At the heart of the resort, Coral Court, an elegant events and celebrations center, is being developed to host weddings, corporate gatherings and major social events.
The 7,708 square metre venue is anchored by a 2,633 square metre column-free grand ballroom framed by Roman-style windows overlooking the marina. Complementary enhancements include dedicated bride and groom salons, private prayer rooms, six versatile meeting rooms, and a 1,390-square-meter event lawn with views of the Arabian Gulf.
“We selected a neutral, sun-washed palette that acts as a blank canvas,” said Lenahan, noting that the ballroom can transform seamlessly from vibrant celebrations to high-impact corporate events.
The meeting rooms, named after master artists including Bourdelle, Calder, Miró and Klimt, incorporate advanced audiovisual systems, high-speed connectivity and support from Wynn’s Event Production Services team.
A culinary preview: Ducasse Steakhouse and Delilah Supper Club
Wynn has announced the first two of 22 restaurants and lounges planned for the resort: an Alain Ducasse French-American steakhouse and Delilah, the famed supper club concept from Wynn Las Vegas.
Ducasse’s two-floor, 1,820 square metre steakhouse will reinterpret American classics with contemporary French flair. The menu will feature Duck Fois Gras Brioche, Cheese Soufflé, a “Beef Club” section with curated selections and sauces, tableside carvings and theatrical desserts such as a flambéed Baked Alaska. “The culinary experience will radically reinvent the steakhouse concept,” Ducasse said.
Delilah, spanning 2,060 square metres, will evoke the glamour of 1950s supper clubs from New York to Paris. With live music, intimate tableside experiences, and signature dishes such as Beef Wellington and Chicken Tenders, the venue extends Wynn’s partnership with The h.wood Group. Co-founders Brian Toll and John Terzian said they are “thrilled to introduce Delilah to the Middle East for the very first time.”
First Look at guest rooms: A new expression of Wynn Design
Wynn Al Marjan Island has released the first look at its resort tower accommodations, previewing rooms, suites and villas designed exclusively for the property. The Resort King room introduces a unique entry vestibule, a departure from typical hotel layouts, enhancing privacy and creating a residential feel.
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Arabian Gulf views, while arched forms, reflective surfaces, and layered textures draw from regional heritage and 18th- and 19th-century influences. Warm tones, sculptural detailing and custom lighting reflect the resort’s coastal setting, with bathrooms featuring double vanities, walk-in showers and freestanding soaking tubs.
“These rooms are rooted in the language of Wynn but reinterpreted for this oceanfront experience,” said Lenahan.
In addition to its 1,530 accommodations, the resort will feature 24 restaurants, a five-star spa, a Shopping Parterre, 12 pools, lush gardens, a deep-water marina for vessels up to 75 meters, a 420-meter private beach and signature Wynn entertainment. Construction remains on track for early 2027.
