A groundbreaking seafront development has been unveiled on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, marking a significant addition to the emirate's luxury real estate landscape. Designed by the renowned Zaha Hadid Architects, the project, named Oystra, spans 128,000 square meters and offers 950 residential units, including one- to four-bedroom apartments, duplexes, penthouses, and waterfront villas.
The architectural design draws inspiration from the natural patterns of waves over sand, resulting in sculptural 20-story towers that provide over 75% of residences with unobstructed views of the Arabian Sea . The development integrates landscaped gardens, a beach club, shopping promenades, and a rooftop restaurant crowned by a 360° infinity pool.
Oystra is strategically positioned to align with Ras Al Khaimah's vision of transforming Al Marjan Island into a world-class lifestyle destination. The project incorporates sustainable design strategies, including seawater-based cooling systems and thermally insulated facades, tailored to the region's arid climate .
With Ras Al Khaimah projected to grow its population by 55% and attract 3.5 million tourists annually by 2030, developments like Oystra are poised to meet the increasing demand for residential and leisure infrastructure .
