A landmark condominium has arrived on the shores of the UAE city, Ras Al Khaimah.
Aman Group’s sister brand, Janu - derived from the Sanskrit word for “soul” - has unveiled Janu Residences on Al Marjan Island.
Developed in partnership with master developer Marjan and Wynn Resorts, the project introduces the ultra-luxury Janu brand’s philosophy of human connection, restorative wellbeing, and vibrant social energy to one of the United Arab Emirates’ rapidly ascending luxury coastlines.
Located approximately 100 km from Dubai, the residence stands directly adjacent to Wynn Al Marjan Island, home to the region’s first integrated gaming resort.
- Under construction
- Groundbreaking: July 2026
- Completion Date: Not announced
Designed by SCDA Architects
Envisioned by the internationally acclaimed SCDA Architects, Janu Al Marjan Island pairs clean, modernist lines with an organic relationship to the sea. The low-density development comprises a 132-key hotel alongside an exclusive collection of 73 branded residences:
Floor plans span from expansive 197 sqm (approx. 2,120 sq ft.) 1-bedroom homes up to a palatial 1,761 sqm (approx. 18,955 sq ft.) 5-bedroom penthouse crowning the tower.
Along the island’s eastern shore, five secluded Marina Villas capture unobstructed sunrise vistas across the open waters of the Arabian Gulf.

Interior Design
Living areas feature soaring double-height ceilings, expansive outdoor terraces, private plunge pools, and floor-to-ceiling glass that dissolves the boundary between the interior palette and the coastal horizon.
Homeowners access a private residential entrance lobby and an owners-only lounge and fitness suite, alongside direct access to a 265m private beach, dedicated superyacht berths at the Wynn Marina (capable of mooring vessels up to 85m), and the 2,496 sqm Janu Spa and Wellness Centre equipped with cryotherapy, a 30m swimming pool, and padel courts.

Social dining takes centre stage across six concepts, anchored by Janu’s signature Chinese restaurant, Hu Jing, and a resident Beach Club.
Hot Real Estate Market
The launch of Janu lands amid a historic surge in real estate values across Al Marjan Island, catalyzed predominantly by the multi-billion-dollar Wynn resort.
Janu Residences joins a distinguished corridor of ultra-luxury branded developments, including:
- Mondrian Al Marjan Beach Residences
- Nikki Beach Residences by Aldar
- JW Marriott Residences
- Address Residences by Emaar
- Fairmont
- Tonino Lamborghini Residences

Condominium Prices in Al Marjan
While older, unbranded island units historically traded between AED 1,000 and AED 1,400 per sq ft (S$350 to S$490 per sq ft), premium branded off-plan (before construction) releases regularly command between AED 2,500 and AED 4,100 per sq ft (S$870 to S$1,430 per sq ft).
Top-tier developments such as Mondrian have recorded prices topping AED 4,070 per sq ft (S$1,420 per sq ft). Janu’s ultra-prime footprint - distinguished by Aman Group’s signature service and outsized floor areas - establishes it at the absolute pinnacle of this bracket.
Ultra High Net Worth ‘Aman Junkies’
Janu Residences targets a refined global demographic: ultra-high-net-worth individuals, international jet-setters, “Amanjunkies” (dedicated collectors of Aman and Janu properties), and regional executives seeking an escape from Dubai and the wider Gulf.
A private condominium like Janu Residences on Al Marjan Island suits a select of individuals:
- Superyacht Owners: With 85m superyacht moorings at the doorstep, it is tailored for ocean lovers.
- Nightlife & Casino: Proximity to Wynn Al Marjan Island offers instant access to world-class entertainment, nightlife, Michelin-standard dining, and casino gaming.
- Dubai Holiday Home Buyers: Ideal for weekenders from Dubai (a 50-minute drive) desiring holistic spa immersion, cryotherapy, and private beach seclusion away from the urban bustle.

Can I Buy An Apartment in Al Marjan?
Al Marjan Island is a designated freehold investment zone. Any nationality - foreign non-residents, expatriates, and GCC nationals alike - can purchase real estate with 100% foreign freehold ownership. Buyers spending over AED 2,000,000 (roughly USD 545,000 or S$700,000) also qualify for the renewable 10-Year UAE Golden Visa, providing long-term residency for investors and their families.
Anyone with valid UAE residency or international tourists using licensed short-term holiday home platforms can rent here. The rental audience spans visiting high-rollers, corporate executives visiting the gaming and hospitality hub, yacht owners, and wellness-focused digital nomads looking for extended coastal stays.
A Man-Made Cluster of Islands
Al Marjan Island is a man-made archipelago consisting of four coral-shaped islands extending 4.5 km into the Arabian Gulf, fringed by 7.8 km of white-sand coastline.
The environment is defined by sheltered turquoise waters, waterfront promenades, high-end beach clubs, and yachting berths. Because day-to-day civic amenities (international schools, major hospitals, and retail centres) are concentrated onshore in adjacent Al Hamra Village roughly 10 minutes away, Al Marjan Island functions primarily as an exclusive leisure and resort enclave.
