Aqua Arc 1BR Apartment in Ras al Khaimah — High-Demand Rental Location

A 1-bedroom apartment spanning 121 sq m (1,302 sq ft) in Aqua Arc on Al Marjan Island — with a post-handover payment plan and one of the most well-connected locations in Ras Al Khaimah

This 121 sq m apartment in Aqua Arc sits at the intersection of coastal living and genuine accessibility. Developed by BnW Developments on Al Marjan Island, the project is minutes from key infrastructure — and for buyers looking at off-plan property in Ras Al Khaimah with a flexible payment structure, this unit makes a compelling case. The 60/40 scheme with a post-handover component means the financial commitment is spread well beyond the construction phase, lowering the barrier to entry while RAK’s rental market continues to attract steady tenant interest.

Architecture and concept

Aqua Arc is a 13-storey development whose design draws from the rugged terrain of Jais Mountain — cascading water features, cave-like roofline structures, and an organic silhouette that sits naturally against the island’s waterfront backdrop. The result is a building that feels deliberate rather than decorative, where premium engineering and natural aesthetics reinforce each other. Penthouses come with private pools on expansive terraces.

Frequently asked questions

How practical is the commute to Dubai from Al Marjan Island?
— The drive to Dubai International Airport takes roughly an hour via the E311/E11 highway. For buyers who work in Dubai but want a quieter base at a lower price point, this is a workable distance — particularly with RAK’s improving road links.

Does the 60/40 plan mean I pay most of the price before handover?
— The 10% booking deposit and 50% during construction account for the 60% pre-handover portion. The remaining 40% is paid over two years after you receive the keys — making the overall commitment more manageable than many standard off-plan structures.

Is the beach access private or shared with the public?
— Aqua Arc includes its own private beach access as part of the residents’ amenity offering — separate from the public beach areas on Al Marjan Island.

Why does a 1-bedroom apartment have 121 sq m? Is that unusual?
— It is on the larger end for a 1-bedroom format, yes. That extra space translates into a properly proportioned living area, a bedroom with walk-in storage and an en-suite, and room to breathe — which also makes the unit more appealing to quality tenants if you’re buying to let.

When is the project scheduled for completion?
— Handover is planned for 2027.
