Good to know
Straight answers from the developer's published terms, checked 8 Oct 2026.
What is the payment plan for The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort?
+
Payment Plan 60/40: 60% on booking, 0% during construction and 40% on handover.
How much is the booking amount for The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort?
+
60% of the purchase price falls due on booking — from AED 15,660,000 on the lowest-priced home. A bank or a broker may call the same figure the reservation deposit or the down payment; it is one and the same first instalment, and it is paid to the developer rather than to us.
When does The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort hand over?
+
Handover is scheduled for Q2 2027.
What do homes in The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort cost?
+
Homes currently available start from AED 26,100,000 and range up to AED 119,500,000 for 3 – 5 bed homes. These are the prices of the homes released for sale through our live feed today, not the launch prices — earlier and cheaper releases may have sold out.
How much does each bedroom size cost at The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort?
+
Published starting prices by layout are 3 bed from AED 119,500,000; 4 bed from AED 26,100,000; 5 bed from AED 30,300,000. Those are the entry price for each size — floor, view and the exact layout move the figure, and the current price list carries the price of every remaining unit.
Is there a price list for The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort?
+
Yes. Ask for it on this page and the developer’s own price list is emailed to you — unit number, floor, exact size, price and price per square foot for every home still available. 3 homes were unsold at the last check on 8 Oct 2026.
Who is the developer of The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort?
+
The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort is developed by RAK Ventures in Al Wadi Desert · Ras al-Khaimah · United Arab Emirates.
What is the service charge at The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort?
+
The published service charge at The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort is 20–30 AED/sqft, billed once a year. On the smallest published layout, 4,945 sqft, that is roughly AED 98,900 – AED 148,350 a year. It starts at handover and the first year is usually pro-rated from the day you collect the keys. Checked 8 Oct 2026.
Is my money protected when buying off-plan at The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort?
+
In the UAE an off-plan instalment is paid into the project’s escrow account rather than to the developer directly, and is released against construction progress the regulator has verified. No escrow account number has been published to us for The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort, which is not the same as there being none — an advisor can confirm the account with RAK Ventures before you pay anything.
Does buying in The Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort qualify for a UAE Golden Visa?
+
With homes currently available from AED 26,100,000, homes here meet the AED 2,000,000 property investment threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa. Since February 2026, off-plan and mortgaged purchases can qualify on a certified valuation — our advisors can confirm eligibility for a specific unit.
