10th August 2026 — BNW Developments, in partnership with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, today announced the signing of Dolce Residences Ras Al Khaimah, Al Marjan Island. Set on the dazzling shores of Al Marjan Island — one of the UAE's fastest-rising lifestyle and investment hotspots — this vibrant new development promises to redefine coastal living with inspired design and unforgettable lifestyle experiences.
With 93 stunning residential units and five sought-after retail spaces, all on track for a Q4 2028 handover, this exciting signing heralds the arrival of the world's first Dolce Residences by Wyndham — a spirited, design-forward brand that celebrates its surroundings with distinctive character, elevated amenities and unforgettable curated experiences.
This boutique-scale, design-led development promises to bring soulful design and vibrant energy to the heart of the coastline, creating an intimate haven that beautifully prioritises wellness, connection, and balance. Championing refined simplicity over excess, Dolce Residences promises residents a joyful, curated lifestyle where sophisticated design meets everyday tranquility.
Dr. (CA) Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman and Founder of BNW Developments said,
“Dolce Residences represents an exciting new chapter for us — a true celebration of quality and of the serene lifestyle that Al Marjan Island embodies. By combining boutique intimacy with the prestige of the Wyndham brand, we are proud to create a sanctuary that reflects the bright future of Ras Al Khaimah as a truly global destination. This landmark project proudly marks our second flagship partnership with the Wyndham group, and we couldn't be more excited to build on this shared vision for sophisticated living in the region.”
Sheikh Saqr Bin Omar Al Qasimi, CEO of Marjan Development said,
"The arrival of Dolce Residences by Wyndham on Al Marjan Island is fantastic news — another clear sign of the growing confidence global hospitality brands are placing in Ras Al Khaimah. BNW Developments' decision to bring the world's first Dolce Residences here, and to do so as their second partnership with Wyndham, speaks directly to the exciting momentum we are building as a destination of choice for discerning developers and residents alike. Al Marjan Island continues to attract exactly the kind of boutique, design-forward concepts that enrich our island's offering and reinforce Ras Al Khaimah's position as one of the region's most compelling investment and lifestyle destinations."
The architectural language of Dolce Residences is thoughtful, elegant, and timeless. The building is beautifully positioned to maximise views, creating a strong and joyful connection to the natural landscape.
Residents will also enjoy an array of exclusive Wyndham privileges, including a complimentary one-year Wyndham Rewards Platinum membership, preferred rates across more than ~8,400 hotels worldwide, and priority access to member-only offers and promotions.
Commenting on the partnership, Dimitris Manikis, President EMEA, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said,
“The signing of the world's first Dolce Residences by Wyndham is a truly exciting milestone for Wyndham's branded residences growth strategy across the EMEA region, and a wonderful reflection of the strength of our expanding partnership with BNW Developments. The branded residences sector has been waiting for a brand like Dolce — one that blends character, style, and a true sense of place with elevated hospitality experiences — making it a perfect fit for this thriving market.
We are thrilled to introduce the brand in Ras Al Khaimah, one of the UAE's fastest-rising lifestyle destinations, and to bring Dolce's distinctive hospitality-led approach to life on Al Marjan Island through this landmark development with one of the most successful developers across the UAE. Backed by Wyndham's global expertise, this project promises a fresh and inspiring vision for upscale coastal living in the region.”
Branded residences are among the fastest-growing and most exciting segments of real estate, especially in the Gulf, as buyers and investors increasingly seek homes that combine everyday comfort with the assurance of a trusted hospitality leader like Wyndham, present in ~100 countries worldwide. Professionally managed services, consistent standards, and access to hotel-style amenities are increasingly celebrated as key differentiators in major urban markets — and this exciting trend is perfectly encapsulated by BNW Developments' second partnership with Wyndham. Through this collaboration, BNW continues to joyfully bridge the gap between intentional living and the world-class service standards for which Wyndham is globally celebrated.
