We are pleased to welcome global brands like W Hotels and leading developers like Dalands Holding who have long-standing credibility as a hospitality-focused developer.

Saurabh Gupta, CEO of Dalands Holding, said, “We are delighted to introduce W Residences to Al Marjan Island; a development that embodies our vision for creating iconic destinations rooted in design, service, and a vibrant sense of place. Co-locating these 201 W Residences with W Al Marjan Island ensures an unmatched lifestyle offering, combining private, luxury living with access to exceptional hospitality services. These fully furnished residences, supported by a world-class hotel experience and direct access to the beach, is what sets this project apart.”
The residences will feature a range of exquisitely designed luxury homes, offering sweeping views and direct access to 130-metres-long beachfront. Each element of the development reflects the bold, irreverent spirit of the W Hotels brand, from cutting-edge interiors to the signature Whatever/Whenever© services.
A wide array of exclusive amenities is planned to elevate the living experience for the residents. These include an exclusive reception area, WET® infinity pool deck, a plush resident’s lounge, the brand’s signature FIT® fitness hub including a yoga studio, a beachside lounging zone, a mini ‘Screening Room’, and dedicated entertainment spaces for private events and parties.
