Wynn joint venture to develop luxury Janu Al Marjan Island hotel and residences on land bank next to UAE resort

Wynn Resorts has announced plans for its first development on the land bank alongside its US$5.1 billion Wynn Al Marjan Island integrated resort in the UAE – a luxury hotel and residential estate called Janu Al Marjan Island comprising 132 hotel rooms and a limited number of residence and standalone villas.
To be brought to life by Ama Group, Janu Al Marjan Island will be owned by the same joint venture entity that is developing Wynn Al Marjan Island, of which Wynn Resorts holds a 40% stake. Local partners Marjan LLC and RAK Hospitality Holdings LLC hold the remaining 60%.
Expecting to contribute between US$25 million and US$50 million to the Janu Al Marjan Island project, Wynn said the development would be managed by the onsite Wynn Al Marjan Island team and should provide a further boost to earnings given the “recent success of condo sales in the UAE” and the high quality of resident it expects to snap up the opportunity.
“Beyond the standalone merits of the transaction, we also expect Janu’s high quality customers will be additive to Wynn Al Marjan Island,” said Wynn Resorts CEO, Craig Billings. “With the Marjan land bank we have significant additional long term development opportunities in the UAE.”
Billings also revealed that concrete is being poured for the final two floors of Wynn Al Marjan Island with top out of the tower expected by December.
The project remains on track for a 2027 launch with the Wynn CEO confirming to analysts during the company’s 3Q25 earnings call overnight that it had already begun marketing the property to VIPs.
