Major Developers has launched Phase Two of its flagship luxury project, Manta Bay, on Al Marjan Island, following the overwhelming success of Phase One. The expansion comes in response to strong investor demand, with multiple initial bookings and expressions of interest already secured.

Designed for global investors across 25+ nationalities, the new phase offers innovative living spaces, including fully furnished units with private jacuzzis and BBQ-equipped terraces. These exclusive features elevate Manta Bay’s appeal as a premier investment and lifestyle destination in the UAE.

Ras Al Khaimah is rapidly emerging as a major real estate and tourism hub, with projections estimating over 5.5 million visitors by 2030. Landmark developments like the Wynn Al Marjan Island resort further solidify the emirate’s global stature.

Adding to its prestige, Major Developers has appointed Italian football legend Francesco Totti as its brand adviser, enhancing the project’s international recognition.

Manta Bay aligns with Ras Al Khaimah’s vision to position itself as a world-class tourism and investment destination, reinforcing its status as a key player in the luxury real estate market.
