Al Hamra Village — RAK's Most Established Community

What Is Al Hamra Village?

Al Hamra Village is RAK's original master-planned residential community — a fully built, fully operational neighbourhood spanning 77 million square feet on the western coast of Ras Al Khaimah. Developed by Al Hamra over more than 20 years, the community is home to over 4,000 completed properties and a resident population from dozens of nationalities.

What makes Al Hamra Village genuinely different from almost every other development in RAK — or in the UAE — is that it is already finished. The golf course is there. The marina is there. The Waldorf Astoria, The Ritz-Carlton Al Hamra Beach, and Sofitel Al Hamra are all operating next door. You can move in tomorrow.

Who Lives Here?

Al Hamra Village has attracted a genuinely diverse international community — British, German, Indian, and wider GCC buyers are all represented, alongside UAE residents seeking a calmer lifestyle than Dubai or Abu Dhabi offers. The Al Hamra Golf Club is a central social hub — an 18-hole championship course that draws a strong international golfing community. The marina and yacht club add another lifestyle dimension that simply does not exist in most RAK communities.

The community includes year-round residents, weekend escape buyers from Dubai (approximately 45 minutes' drive), and long-term expatriates who have made RAK their permanent home. Rental yields run at approximately 5–7%, underpinned by consistent demand from the golf and hotel guests community and year-round residents.

New: Al Hamra Greens

Al Hamra Greens is Al Hamra's most ambitious new launch — a Scandinavian-inspired wellness apartment community directly opposite RAK Central. Launched in July 2025 as part of a AED 3 billion package, Al Hamra Greens offers 1,754 apartments across one to three-bedroom layouts, all with private balconies and views encompassing RAK Central, the Championship Golf Course, and Wynn Al Marjan Island. The Scandinavian design philosophy — prioritising natural light, clean lines, and biophilic landscaping — is a deliberate departure from the generic glass-and-marble luxury that dominates the rest of the market. For wellness-conscious buyers, this is the most interesting new product in the Al Hamra ecosystem.

New: Al Hamra Waterfront

Al Hamra Waterfront is the community's premium seafront offering — a collection of residences positioned directly on the waterfront edge of the Al Hamra estate, maximising views across the Arabian Gulf and the marina. The Waterfront sits at the higher end of Al Hamra's pricing spectrum and appeals to buyers who want the community's proven infrastructure combined with the premium positioning of a true waterfront address. For investors, the scarcity of genuine seafront product within an established community — versus the abundant supply of off-plan launches on Al Marjan Island — gives Al Hamra Waterfront a differentiated appeal.

Coming Next: Waldorf and Ritz-Carlton Residences

Al Hamra has confirmed both Waldorf Astoria Residences and Ritz-Carlton Residences are in development within the broader Al Hamra community. These will be the most prestigious addressed in the community's history — bringing ultra-luxury branded residential product to what has historically been a mid-market neighbourhood, and significantly elevating the overall prestige and pricing of the surrounding area.
