Good to know
Straight answers from the developer's published terms, checked 8 Oct 2026.
What is the payment plan for The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residence?
+
The developer offers 5% on booking, 75% during construction and 20% on handover.
How much is the booking amount for The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residence?
+
5% of the purchase price falls due on booking — from AED 151,852 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 Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residence hand over?
+
Handover is scheduled for Q4 2026. Construction is 42% complete.
What do homes in The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residence cost?
+
Homes currently available start from AED 3,037,034 and range up to AED 12,369,821 for Studio – 1 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 Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residence?
+
Published starting prices by layout are Studio from AED 3,037,034; 1 bed from AED 7,915,944. 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 Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residence?
+
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. 29 homes were unsold at the last check on 8 Oct 2026.
Who is the developer of The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residence?
+
The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residence is developed by Almal in Al Marjan Island · Ras al-Khaimah · United Arab Emirates.
Is my money protected when buying off-plan at The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residence?
+
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 Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residence, which is not the same as there being none — an advisor can confirm the account with Almal before you pay anything.
Does buying in The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel and Residence qualify for a UAE Golden Visa?
+
With homes currently available from AED 3,037,034, 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.
