Wynn Al Marjan Island resort development

Overview

Wynn Resorts has announced that the opening of its Wynn Al Marjan Island integrated resort in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, has been rescheduled to September 2027. The company attributed the delay and approximately $600 million in additional costs to supply-chain disruptions and labor-movement challenges stemming from the war in the Middle East.

Despite these logistical hurdles, the project has reached new development milestones, including the unveiling of a 550-metre beachfront, a sheltered lagoon, and an engineered offshore reef designed to support marine biodiversity.

The development is also impacting the regional labor market. The resort is currently ramping up recruitment for various roles in gaming, hospitality, and theatre operations. This activity has increased competition for talent in the Ras Al Khaimah hospitality sector, as professionals increasingly consider the emirate a viable alternative to Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
