Wynn Al Marjan Island, a $5.1 billion integrated resort on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, has been added to Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ Legend Collection, the highest tier of the luxury‑hotel network. The 70‑story tower will house 1,530 rooms, 22 restaurants, a 420‑meter beach and a casino, and is slated to open in spring 2027. By joining the Legend Collection, the resort will gain access to a global distribution channel and a points‑based loyalty program that serves more than 6 million members worldwide.
The partnership is a strategic marketing and distribution play that accelerates customer acquisition and enhances the resort’s visibility in the UAE market. It signals confidence from a leading independent hotel group in the viability of the Al Marjan development, potentially improving investor sentiment around the project’s execution timeline and revenue prospects. The inclusion also provides a brand association that can help the resort attract high‑net‑worth clientele and differentiate it from other luxury properties in the region.
"We are delighted to welcome Wynn Al Marjan Island into our Legend Collection, joining a portfolio of iconic properties that set global standards for luxury and experiential travel," said Saurabh Rai, Executive Vice President of South Asia, Middle East, and Africa at Preferred Hotels & Resorts. "This landmark development not only exemplifies the ambition and innovation that defines the Legend Collection but also reflects our expanding global partnership with Wynn Resorts, whose legendary properties in Las Vegas, Macau, and Boston are already part of our family. Together, we are setting bold new benchmarks for ultra‑luxury hospitality in the UAE and beyond." Max Tappeiner, President of Wynn Al Marjan Island, added: "From the outset, Wynn Al Marjan Island has been designed to deliver a truly singular guest experience, one that blends a strong sense of place with the scale, creativity, and service for which Wynn is known. Our inclusion in Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ Legend Collection reflects a shared focus on distinctive, experience‑led hospitality as we look ahead to our Spring 2027 opening."
The announcement has been received positively by market participants, with analysts noting that the partnership provides a credible distribution and marketing platform that can accelerate bookings and strengthen the resort’s pre‑opening momentum. The move is viewed as a key step toward the project’s commercial launch and a signal of confidence in the development’s long‑term viability.
