Ras Al Khaimah’s luxury real estate market grows fast, with 5,000+ branded homes set for delivery by 2030.
Ras Al Khaimah’s luxury real estate market is growing at a strong pace, with more than 5,000 branded homes expected to be delivered by 2030. Analysts say the northern emirate is becoming an important luxury destination, supported by rising investor confidence, strong tourism growth, and increasing demand for lifestyle-led properties.
Branded residences have become one of the most attractive property segments in Ras Al Khaimah over the past year, according to Knight Frank. While Dubai remains the global leader with around 39,000 branded units, Ras Al Khaimah has now positioned itself as the UAE’s second-strongest market, driven by steady sales and growing buyer interest.
The emirate’s fundamentals are changing quickly. Ras Al Khaimah’s population is expected to grow by more than 50% by 2030, while tourism continues to expand across leisure, adventure, nature, and business events (MICE). Major developments such as the Wynn Resort, scheduled to open in 2027, are expected to further raise the emirate’s global profile and attract visitors who later become property buyers.
High-net-worth buyers are choosing branded residences for lifestyle, services, and reliability. Off-plan sales and prices for branded projects are rising faster than non-branded ones.
More than half of Ras Al Khaimah’s branded residences are located on Al Marjan Island, where waterfront locations command higher prices and rental returns. Over the past two years, rental values and demand on the island have risen strongly, supported by growth in tourism and limited beachfront supply.
Although none of the branded projects have been completed yet, strong off-plan activity shows high buyer confidence. Most buyers are based in the UAE, while international investors are also entering the market early. With more branded projects, tourism growth, and global interest, Ras Al Khaimah is set to strengthen as a premium real estate hub by 2030.
