Danah Bay Handovers Begin: A New Benchmark for Beachfront Living in Ras Al Khaimah
Dubai Investment Real Estate (DIR), a subsidiary of Dubai Investments, has officially commenced the first phase of handovers at its flagship beachfront development — Danah Bay — located on the scenic Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. This marks a major milestone in the transformation of Ras Al Khaimah into a rising star in the UAE’s real estate landscape.
A total of 171 landside villas are now completed and ready for occupancy. These include 143 townhouses and standard three- and four-bedroom villas, alongside 28 premium landside units boasting spacious four- and five-bedroom layouts. Construction has been fully finalized across all units, covering internal and external finishes, service infrastructure, and landscaping — offering new homeowners immediate access to serene beachfront living.
Breakwater Villas Nearing Completion
Construction progress is also advancing rapidly on the project’s signature offering — the Breakwater Villas, a collection of ultra-luxury sea-facing residences. The Villa Side cluster, consisting of eight premium beachfront villas, is already 91% complete. Structural and envelope work has been finalized, while internal finishes are nearly done. Meanwhile, the Hotel Side cluster, featuring 10 exclusive villas, has reached 69% completion, with substantial progress across MEP systems and interior installations.
Urban Coastal Living: The Danah Bay Residential Tower
Adding a vertical dimension to this coastal project is the Danah Bay Residential Tower, a 19-storey building that will house 143 modern apartments. Currently, the foundation and substructure are 75% complete, and vertical construction is well underway. Once finalized, the tower will inject an urban energy into the waterfront development, cementing Danah Bay’s reputation as a mixed-use community with a holistic living experience.
A Fully Integrated Coastal Lifestyle
The development is not just about homes; it is about lifestyle. The master plan includes private beach access, landscaped public areas, a scenic boardwalk, boutique retail and dining outlets, and luxury hospitality services. Designed with sustainability in mind, Danah Bay offers a vibrant yet relaxed environment where nature and urban comfort blend effortlessly.
“Danah Bay is more than a project — it is a community crafted around the vision of holistic, beachfront living,” said a Dubai Investments spokesperson. “Our aim is to provide unmatched quality of life while contributing to the evolving landscape of Ras Al Khaimah as a real estate and tourism powerhouse.”
Ras Al Khaimah: UAE’s Emerging Real Estate Hotspot
Ras Al Khaimah has been drawing increasing attention as an alternative to traditional investment hubs like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. With its pristine coastline, natural beauty, and expanding infrastructure, it is rapidly becoming a magnet for regional and international investors.
According to RAKEZ, the emirate saw a 20% increase in property transactions in 2023, with Al Marjan Island emerging as a primary driver of this growth. Mega developments like the upcoming Wynn Resorts casino resort are further elevating land values and bringing in high-net-worth individuals from across the globe.
Investment Advantages: Affordability Meets Returns
Ras Al Khaimah presents a compelling investment case. Property prices remain approximately 30% to 40% lower than similar coastal developments in Dubai, yet average rental yields exceed 7% annually — making it attractive to both end-users and investors. The blend of affordability, lifestyle appeal, and strong returns is shifting focus toward the northern emirates.
Future Outlook and Strategic Expansion
DIR’s strategic move into Ras Al Khaimah reflects a broader trend among major UAE developers — expanding into high-growth, undervalued markets. As infrastructure across Al Marjan Island matures and integrated communities like Danah Bay come to life, the demand for premium beachfront real estate is expected to surge.
“Ras Al Khaimah is no longer the UAE’s best-kept secret. It’s transforming into a lifestyle and investment magnet,” noted a regional consultant. “Projects like Danah Bay are setting new benchmarks for what coastal living can offer in the northern emirates.”
