Costa Mare at Al Marjan Island: Ellington's beachfront towers in RAK
Four 20-storey towers, about 900 homes from studios to six-bedroom villas, direct beach access near the Wynn Resort. What Costa Mare's listing confirms, the detailed payment plan, and what still needs confirming before you reserve.
Costa Mare: an Ellington project on Al Marjan Island
Costa Mare is a beachfront development by Ellington on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah's man-made peninsula, positioned near the Wynn Resort (opening announced by the operator for 2027). The project is built around four towers of 20 storeys each, with roughly 900 homes in total and direct access to the beach. It is sold off-plan, with completion targeted for the third quarter of 2028.
This guide sticks to what Orven's Costa Mare listing confirms today: the scale of the project, the typologies on offer, and the payment plan as published. Anything the listing does not state, such as a unit price, is marked "on request" rather than estimated.
Typologies across the four towers
Costa Mare's listing spans an unusually wide range of unit types for a single beachfront project, from compact studios to full villas:
- Studios
- 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom apartments
- Duplexes with 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms
- 4-bedroom penthouses
- 5 and 6-bedroom villas
That spread means the project serves more than one kind of buyer within the same address: a studio or one-bedroom owner and a six-bedroom villa family can both be neighbours on the same stretch of beach. Current availability by typology, floor and tower is confirmed by your adviser, since the listing does not publish a unit-by-unit breakdown of surface areas.
Price: on request, payment plan: published in detail
Costa Mare's listing does not publish a starting price; every unit is priced on request, and that applies across studios, apartments, duplexes, penthouses and villas alike. What the listing does publish, unusually, is a fully staged payment plan tied to construction progress rather than a simple split:
| Stage | Share of price |
|---|---|
| At reservation | 20% (plus a 3,000 AED fee described on the listing as a "RERA fee") |
| At 90 days | 10% |
| At 180 days | 10% |
| At each of six construction milestones (20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% of works completed) | 5% per milestone, 30% in total |
| At handover | 30% |
| At handover, for title registration | an additional 4% |
The "RERA fee" of 3,000 AED is the term used on Costa Mare's own listing page. It is not the Dubai Land Department's RERA, which is a Dubai-specific regulator; Ras Al Khaimah has its own land registration framework through the Ras Al Khaimah Municipality's land department (service ZL13), and the exact nature of this project-specific fee is best confirmed with your adviser before you reserve. The additional 4% at handover is described on the listing as covering title registration, separate from the 100% purchase price itself.
Because no starting price is published, none of these percentages can be converted into a dirham figure in this guide. Once you and your adviser have confirmed a unit and its price, the same percentages apply directly to that figure.
Delivery and construction status
Costa Mare is currently sold off-plan, with completion targeted for the third quarter of 2028. As with any off-plan project, the construction-linked milestones above only move forward as the building progresses; our guide on how a construction-linked payment plan works explains the mechanics of this kind of schedule in more general terms, including why a slipping timeline affects the milestone percentages rather than the total price.

Who Costa Mare suits
The combination of direct beach access, a wide typology range and proximity to the Wynn Resort makes Costa Mare a candidate for several different buyers at once: a couple looking for a studio or one-bedroom beachfront pied-à-terre, a family wanting a villa on the same development, and an investor comfortable with a staged construction-linked plan rather than a simple deposit-and-handover split. What it does not suit is a buyer who needs a firm price before engaging, since every unit here is on request rather than published.
What to confirm before you reserve
A few points are worth raising with your adviser or the relevant authority before committing to Costa Mare, rather than assuming an answer:
- The exact price for the unit and floor you want, since none is published on the listing.
- Whether the 2 million AED Golden Visa threshold is realistic for your target unit, which depends entirely on the price you are quoted; our guide on the Golden Visa property threshold covers the federal rule this applies under.
- How title registration and any resale down the line work at Ras Al Khaimah's land department, which uses its own process rather than Dubai's; see our guide on whether you can buy property without visiting in person for how a remote purchase is generally organised.
- The precise construction milestones and expected dates for each 5% instalment, which your adviser confirms against the latest project update.

FAQ
Does Costa Mare publish a starting price? No. Every typology, from studio to villa, is listed as price on request. Your adviser confirms the current price once you have a typology and floor in mind.
What is the "RERA fee" mentioned on the listing? It is the 3,000 AED fee charged at reservation as shown on Costa Mare's own project page. It should not be assumed to be the same as the Dubai Land Department's RERA; confirm with your adviser how it applies at Ras Al Khaimah.
Is the payment plan the same for every typology? The listing describes one staged schedule, tied to construction milestones, for the project as a whole. Confirm with your adviser whether any typology-specific variation applies to the unit you are considering.
Does Costa Mare qualify for the Golden Visa? That depends on the price quoted for your unit against the 2 million AED federal threshold, since no starting price is published. Confirm eligibility with the authorities once a price is in hand.
When is Costa Mare due for completion? The listing targets the third quarter of 2028. As with any off-plan project, treat this as the current target rather than a guaranteed date, and ask your adviser for the latest construction update.
