Wynn Resorts says Wynn Al Marjan Island has reached a major construction milestone, with all hotel structural work completed as the development transitions into interior fit-out and systems installation ahead of a planned Spring 2027 opening. The project, located on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, is positioned as a flagship tourism and entertainment investment for the emirate and the wider UAE.
A key near-term focus is the dedicated access infrastructure known as the Wynn Bridge. The bridge is designed to span 548 metres, connecting the resort to the UAE’s road network via Wynn Boulevard and linking to the E311 (Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road) and E611 (Emirates Road) corridors. Wynn has said the bridge works are 48% complete, with piling finished and nine of 10 pile caps in place, targeting completion in late 2026—an important sequencing step to de-risk opening logistics, staff commuting and supplier access.
Beyond construction, the project’s strategic importance also rests on the UAE’s emerging commercial gaming regulatory framework. Wynn has previously disclosed that it received a UAE commercial gaming operator licence for the integrated resort development, placing the company at the front of what is expected to be a tightly supervised market with heightened compliance, auditing and responsible-gaming expectations.
For investors and regional stakeholders, the dual story is clear: physical progress is now paired with an evolving legal environment. As structural works give way to fit-out, access roads and operational readiness, Wynn Al Marjan Island is increasingly defined not only by its scale and timeline, but by how smoothly it navigates licensing, compliance and the governance standards that will underpin the UAE’s first major regulated gaming resort.
