Wynn Al Marjan Island, the $5.1bn integrated resort under construction in Ras Al Khaimah, has announced its first two restaurants ahead of its planned Spring 2027 opening: an Alain Ducasse steakhouse and a Middle East outpost of Delilah, the supper club concept from Wynn Las Vegas.

The resort, which will feature 22 restaurants and lounges, said both venues will reflect the design vision of Wynn Design and Development, led by president and chief creative officer Todd-Avery Lenahan.

“Every element of Wynn Al Marjan Island has been conceptualised to surprise guests and surpass their expectations, to create a singular resort they’ve simply never experienced before,” Lenahan said.

Wynn Al Marjan to feature Alain Ducasse steakhouse and Delilah

The Alain Ducasse steakhouse, spanning two floors and about 1,820 square metres, will combine French and American influences, offering dishes such as Duck Foie Gras Brioche, Cheese Souffle, and a “Beef Club” menu of premium steaks with tableside service. Desserts including Baked Alaska will also be prepared tableside.

“I’m very proud and honoured to contribute to the Wynn Al Marjan Island project, which is for sure one of the most visionary and ambitious projects in the region,” Ducasse said. “The culinary experience we’ll create will radically reinvent the steakhouse concept by boldly reinterpreting the American classics with a contemporary French flair.”

Delilah, set over about 2,060 square meters on the resort’s first floor, will be modelled after iconic 1950s supper clubs, with live music, cocktails, and dishes including Beef Wellington and Chicken Tenders, alongside new menu items using regional ingredients.

The concept, created in partnership with Los Angeles-based The h.wood Group, will mark Delilah’s Middle East debut. “Delilah is a truly special concept that offers guests a one-of-a-kind experience and an unmatched standard of luxury dining,” said Brian Toll and John Terzian, co-founders of The h.wood Group.
