Architecture and concept

Manta Bay is Major Development’s first project in the UAE, and the developer chose Al Marjan Island deliberately — the beachfront land bank here is limited, and the project’s ten-storey form is designed to maximise sea exposure. The concept centres on water, open skies and resort-style living as a daily baseline, not an occasional treat.

About the developer

Major Development is making its UAE debut with Manta Bay, positioning the project firmly in the premium resort segment with full unit fit-out and a comprehensive amenity package. The commitment to delivering furnished, equipped apartments reflects a focus on both end-users and investors.

Frequently asked questions

How well connected is Al Marjan Island for daily commuting?
— The island is linked to the RAK mainland by a well-maintained road interchange. The emirate’s centre is around 15–20 minutes away, and Dubai is reachable in roughly an hour via the E311 — a straightforward drive on a clear day.

What is developing in the area that could affect value?
— The Wynn Resort, scheduled to open in 2027 — the same year Manta Bay is handed over — is expected to significantly increase visitor numbers and rental demand on the island. It’s one of the more tangible catalysts in the region right now.

Is the apartment genuinely delivered furnished and equipped?
— Yes. The unit includes furniture and kitchen appliances as standard — confirmed in the project terms, not a marketing claim.

Which payment plan makes more sense — Option 1 or Option 2?
— It depends on your cash flow preference. Option 1 spreads instalments in smaller, more frequent steps (2% every two months). Option 2 consolidates them into larger quarterly payments. The entry deposit is 5% under both plans, with 30–40% due on handover.

Is this a good fit for short-term rental?
— Al Marjan Island attracts both leisure tourists and weekend visitors from Dubai and Abu Dhabi. A furnished sea-view apartment in a resort-format building on the beach tends to perform well in the short-let market — the format aligns naturally with what that audience is looking for.
