ALEC named main contractor for ground- breaking Wynn Resort on Al Marjan Island, RAK
Marjan, in collaboration with RAK Hospitality Holding and Wynn Resorts Limited, has announced the appointment of two contractors to complete integral construction work on the integrated Wynn Resort, which is scheduled to open in Ras Al Khaimah in early 2027.
ALEC Engineering and Contracting LLC (ALEC), part of the Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) and experienced in the construction of complex and iconic projects across diverse sectors, was awarded the main contract for the construction of the integrated resort development. Bauer International FZE, the German foundation specialist, will undertake the piling and enabling works.
Bauer has begun construction preparation on the project site, located on the man-made Al Marjan Island, the flagship project of master developer Marjan. With a growing portfolio of bold and ambitious hospitality and leisure attractions, the cluster of four coral-shaped islands is emerging as a truly world-class lifestyle and waterfront destination in the region.
The integrated resort development on Al Marjan Island is the largest project of its kind in the Emirate’s growing hospitality sector. Offering a pristine setting with spectacular views of the Arabian Gulf as well as sandy beaches and a marina, the project is the first in the MENA region by Wynn Resorts, the US-based developer, designer and operator of luxury integrated resort experiences.
Attracting significant foreign direct investments, the new integrated resort highlights Ras Al Khaimah’s growing global reputation as a leading investment destination for high-quality hospitality projects. The integrated development features a 1,000+ room hotel, high-end shopping mall, a state-of-the-art meeting and convention facility, an exclusive spa, more than 10 restaurants and lounges, a wide array of entertainment choices, gaming area, and other amenities. Investments in the project will further enrich the local economy and accelerate tourism, create new job opportunities, and energise the growth of allied sectors.
