About Raha Island
Raha Island is a waterfront harbour district in Ras Al Khaimah, planned around a marina, residential buildings, a waterfront boulevard and public leisure spaces. The island forms part of Mina, the wider coastal destination that also includes neighbouring Hayat Island. While Hayat Island focuses on beachfront resorts and natural surroundings, Raha Island is designed around a more urban marina setting.
The upcoming Four Seasons Resort and Private Residences will become the island’s main hospitality anchor, adding branded residences and resort facilities to the harbour district.
Location & Connectivity
Raha Island is located within Mina on Ras Al Khaimah’s southern coastline, connected to the mainland and neighbouring Hayat Island by road bridges. The island has direct access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Salem Road, the main coastal route connecting Mina with the wider emirate.
Al Hamra Village is nearby, while Al Marjan Island is around 15 minutes away by car, and Ras Al Khaimah International Airport can be reached in around 25 minutes. Residents mainly rely on private cars and taxis, while planned water transit will connect Raha Island with other parts of Mina Al Arab.

Ownership and Market Context
Raha Island is a freehold area where buyers of any nationality can own property. With most residential projects still under development, today’s market is largely driven by off-plan sales, offering an opportunity to enter one of Ras Al Khaimah’s newest waterfront districts before it reaches full maturity.
The island continues to grow as international hospitality and lifestyle brands expand their presence within Mina. Four Seasons will anchor the harbour district with a luxury resort and private residences, while Armani has selected Raha Island for the world’s first Armani-branded villas. Nikki Beach is also developing its first resort and beach club within Mina, alongside additional international hotel brands planned across the destination. Together, these projects are helping establish Raha Island as one of Ras Al Khaimah’s emerging luxury addresses.
