Aqua Arc is a BNW Developments project on Al Marjan Island, built as twin G+12 towers with 226 homes in total. The project's defining feature, according to its page, is private pools on many of its balconies.

Private pools on many balconies

The project page describes private pools on many balconies as a defining feature of the unit design. Beyond that description, the page does not specify which typologies include a balcony pool or how many units across the 226 total have one, so if this feature matters to your decision, confirm it for the specific unit you are considering, rather than assuming it applies project-wide.

The 10/40/50 payment plan

Aqua Arc publishes a three-stage structure: 10% at reservation, 40% during construction, 50% on completion. On the AED 2.3 million starting price, that works out to AED 230,000 at reservation, AED 920,000 during construction, and AED 1,150,000 on completion. This differs from the 30/70 plans published by the two other BNW Developments projects in our selection, Tonino Lamborghini Residences and Radisson Blu RAK Central; Aqua Arc's structure spreads a larger share across the construction period itself rather than concentrating it at handover.

Golden Visa: above the threshold at entry price

At its AED 2.3 million starting price, Aqua Arc sits above the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold, which applies under conditions confirmed by the authorities. This puts it among the higher-entry projects in our Ras Al Khaimah selection, alongside Pelagia, also from BNW Developments and also starting at AED 2.3 million. Our guide on the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold covers the general rule; confirm the specific conditions with your adviser before relying on eligibility.

Buying costs and registration

Ras Al Khaimah does not use Dubai's DLD fee structure, Oqood registration or escrow rules. Registering a sale with the Ras Al Khaimah municipality's land department (service ZL13) costs 2% of the market value from the buyer and 2% from the seller, plus AED 200 for plan issuance and AED 200 for the title. On the AED 2.3 million starting price, 2% works out to AED 46,000, though the real amount depends on the value used and the nature of the sale. Off-plan registration fees specific to this project are not published; confirm them with your adviser. Our guide on buying off-plan remotely, step by step covers the general process, though the registration steps themselves differ from Dubai's and should be confirmed for Ras Al Khaimah.

How Aqua Arc compares with Pelagia

Aqua Arc and Pelagia are both BNW Developments projects on Al Marjan Island, both starting at AED 2.3 million, and both publishing the same 10/40/50 payment plan. The two differ mainly in format and timeline. Aqua Arc is built as twin G+12 towers with a typology range running from one-bedroom apartments to townhouses and penthouses, with private pools on many balconies as a stated feature; Pelagia is a single building with a different unit mix weighted toward one-bedroom homes, plus two retail units, and no balcony-pool feature stated on its page. Aqua Arc hands over in Q3 2027, a quarter ahead of Pelagia's Q4 2027. If the balcony pool and a wider range of larger formats matter to you, Aqua Arc is the closer match; if a slightly earlier reservation into a mixed-typology building with retail on site appeals more, Pelagia is worth comparing directly. Our Pelagia project guide sets out its unit mix in full.
