Off Plan Property by RAK Properties: The 2026 Investor Guide to Mina Al Arab, Hayat Island & Every Project
Key takeaways
- RAK Properties is the publicly listed master developer of Ras Al Khaimah, founded in 2005 — its off plan property sits inside the emirate's flagship waterfront communities.
- Everything centres on Mina Al Arab, with two islands: Hayat Island (Quattro Del Mar, Bayviews, Nasim Lofts, NB Collection) and Raha Island (Skai, Mirasol).
- Entry prices start near AED 670,000 for studios and climb to AED 18M+ for NB Collection beachfront villas.
- Flexible and post-handover payment plans (40/60, 10/30/60, 5/25/10/60) keep upfront cash low.
- The Wynn Al Marjan Island resort (2027) and a tourism surge are the engines behind RAK's price growth.
Searching for off plan property in Ras Al Khaimah almost always leads to one name: RAK Properties. As the emirate's leading listed master developer, it has shaped the entire coastline most investors are now chasing. This guide is the practical version — who RAK Properties is, why the timing matters in 2026, and every active off plan community with starting prices, payment plans and handover dates, organised the way the developer actually builds: by island. Explore the full developer page on First Stone's RAK Properties hub.
Who is RAK Properties?
The distinction matters. RAK Properties does not just build towers; it plans whole communities, which means roads, beaches, schools, hospitality and retail are delivered alongside the homes. For an off plan buyer, that infrastructure-led approach is what turns a render into long-term value. Browse live RAK projects or compare the wider field on the developers hub.
Why off plan property in RAK is moving fast in 2026
On Hayat Island specifically, quarterly data has shown rents climbing in the mid-teens year on year and price per square foot rising double digits — exactly the early-mover dynamic off plan investors look for. Entry prices remain well below comparable Dubai and Abu Dhabi waterfront stock, so the gap between today's launch price and tomorrow's completed value is still wide. To model a purchase, use the mortgage calculator.

Hayat Island is the heart of Mina Al Arab — a resort island wrapped in canals, beaches and a marina, and home to RAK Properties' widest off plan range, from entry-level studios to ultra-prime villas.
Quattro Del Mar Off-plan
Canal-front apartments, duplexes and townhouses with a beach club, lagoon yacht club, spa, cinema and mini-golf. A flexible post-handover option lets you pay 40% over two years after completion. See related RAK Properties projects.
Bayviews Off-plan
One of the most affordable beachfront-community launches in the UAE — compact, well-planned studios and one-to-two-bed apartments with sea and lagoon views.
Enta Mina Residences Off-plan
A newer Hayat Island launch of studios to two-bed apartments, positioned for early-entry investors ahead of the Wynn handover window.
NB Collection Selling fast
RAK Properties' ultra-luxury statement — limited beachfront villas with private plots and direct sea access. Scarce inventory, premium pricing.
Bay Residences Sold out · resale
A popular Hayat Island address now available mainly through the resale market — a route to a completed-soon unit without waiting for a fresh launch.
Nasim Lofts Handed over · resale
Contemporary loft-style apartments and duplexes that have already completed — ideal if you want a ready RAK Properties home with immediate rental potential.
Raha Island is the newer wing of Mina Al Arab — quieter, lower-density and priced for entry-level investors who still want the island lifestyle.
Skai Off-plan
Modern studios to three-bed apartments with a generous, construction-weighted-then-handover payment split — comfortable for cash-flow planning.
Mirasol Off-plan
Among the most affordable RAK Properties launches, with multiple payment plans to choose from. View the Mirasol project page for current availability.
Beyond the two islands, the wider Mina Al Arab master community holds RAK Properties' branded residences, townhouse enclaves and established villa neighbourhoods.
Cape Hayat Off-plan
Waterfront living overlooking the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Salim Al Qasimi Mosque, with one of the lowest entry points in the portfolio. See the Cape Hayat project page.
Anantara Mina Al Arab Residences Branded · off-plan
Five-star branded residences tied to the Anantara hospitality name — resort services, rental-pool potential and a premium that branded stock tends to hold on resale.
Granada II Off-plan
Townhouses near Saqr Park with a buyer-friendly 10/90 structure — minimal during construction, the bulk on handover.
Nura Sold out · resale
A fully subscribed Mina Al Arab community now traded on the resale market — a way into the master plan at a completed-soon stage.
Marbella II Villas Ready · resale
Completed two-to-four-bed villas in an established Mina Al Arab enclave — move-in ready with immediate rental potential.
Gateway Residences Community
A long-standing RAK Properties residential address within Mina Al Arab — apartments suited to end-users and yield-focused investors alike.
