Ras Al Khaimah, UAE: – Wow Resorts, a global leader in luxury living and hospitality, has partnered exclusively with JW Marriott to create exceptional residences and resorts. The result is the JW Marriott Al Marjan Island Resort and JW Marriott Residences Al Marjan Island, located in the esteemed Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), UAE.
This impressive development, valued at USD 1.3 billion, will stand as a symbol of Marriott International’s iconic reputation. The founders of Wow Resorts, Anwar Ali Aman and Bhupender ‘Bruce’ Patel celebrated this collaboration in a grand ceremony today alongside Marriott International and Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Marjan.
Anticipated to welcome over five million visitors annually, this architectural masterpiece is the debut project for Wow Resorts in the UAE’s Northern Emirates. Scheduled to open in 2026, the development promises to redefine hospitality and luxury residential living with its bold design and premium finishes.
The project is designed by renowned Beverly Hills architect Tony Ashai, in collaboration with Dubai-based Lead Consultants Architecture Design Unit, ADU. With over two decades of experience crafting hospitality and real estate projects in North America, Wow Resorts is set to make a mark in this favored luxury destination.
The property will feature 524 fully furnished branded residences with 1 to 4 bedrooms, including luxurious penthouses. Additionally, the resort will offer 300 meticulously appointed guest rooms. Set against a backdrop of breathtaking turquoise waters, the development provides uninterrupted views of the vast ocean.
The sanctuary boasts numerous amenities, including an indulgent spa, refreshing pools, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Positioned for discerning investors, the property’s allure is heightened by its convenient location—a leisurely thirty-minute drive to RAK airport and less than an hour to Dubai International Airport.
Anwar Ali Aman, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of WOW Resorts, expressed his gratitude for the prestigious partnership and said: “It is a privilege to work with the prestigious Marriott International and Al Marjan Island to unveil our flagship project in one of UAE’s most eagerly anticipated developments.
