Ellington in Ras Al Khaimah: Cala Del Mar, Costa Mare and Playa Del Sol compared

Ellington's three Al Marjan Island projects

Ellington has built up a presence on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah with three projects, all close to the Wynn Resort (opening announced by the operator for 2027): Cala Del Mar, its first project on the island, followed by Costa Mare and then Playa Del Sol. This guide compares what each listing confirms today, using facts from Orven's own project pages rather than general claims about the developer, and does not rank them against each other.

Side by side: scale, typologies and status

	Cala Del Mar	Costa Mare	Playa Del Sol
Buildings	1 tower, 13 storeys	4 towers, 20 storeys each	Not specified on the listing
Homes	138	About 900	Not specified on the listing
Typologies	Studios to 4-bedroom units	Studios to 6-bedroom villas, duplexes, penthouses	Studios to a 4-bedroom villa, duplexes, a penthouse

Payment plan	On request	Staged, construction-linked, fully published	On request
Delivery	On request	Q3 2028	Q4 2027
Notable feature	Ellington's first project on the island	Direct beach access	Private jetty

Current availability by typology and floor for any of the three is confirmed by your adviser; the table above reflects what each listing states today, not every unit's current status.

What sets each project apart

Cala Del Mar is the smallest in footprint, a single tower rather than a multi-building development, which can appeal to a buyer who prefers a more contained community over a larger master-planned complex. Costa Mare is the largest of the three by a wide margin, with roughly 900 homes across four towers and a typology range that stretches from studios to full villas, plus the most detailed published payment plan of the three, staged against construction milestones rather than a simple split; our guide on how a construction-linked payment plan works explains that structure. Playa Del Sol sits in between in terms of what is known publicly, with a private jetty as its distinguishing published feature and a 2027 delivery target slightly ahead of Costa Mare's.

How to choose between the three

The choice between Ellington's three Ras Al Khaimah projects comes down mostly to scale and what each listing confirms rather than any claim about the developer generally:

If you want the most transparency on a payment plan before you reserve, Costa Mare is the only one of the three with a fully published, staged schedule, even though its price itself remains on request.
If you prefer a smaller, single-building community, Cala Del Mar is the most contained option, though price, plan and delivery are all on request there.
If a private jetty and waterfront lifestyle features matter to you, Playa Del Sol's listing highlights that specifically, with a 2027 delivery target.
If you want the widest typology range under one address, from studio to villa, Costa Mare covers the most ground.

None of these points should be read as one project being better than another; they describe what is currently published and let you match a project to what you are looking for.

What to confirm before you reserve with any of the three

Across all three Ellington projects, the same open questions apply: the exact price for your target unit, since none of the three publishes a starting price; the payment plan terms, published in detail only for Costa Mare; and whether your target unit would clear the 2 million AED Golden Visa threshold once a price is confirmed, covered in general terms in our guide on the Golden Visa property threshold. Freehold status and title registration at Ras Al Khaimah follow the land department's own process rather than Dubai's; confirm specifics with your adviser rather than assuming a Dubai equivalent applies.

FAQ

Which Ellington project in Ras Al Khaimah has a published payment plan? Only Costa Mare's listing currently publishes a detailed, staged payment plan tied to construction milestones. Cala Del Mar and Playa Del Sol both show the plan as on request.

Is one of the three projects better value than the others? None is presented as better than another here. Each has a different scale, typology range and set of published features; the right one depends on what you are looking for, not a ranking.

Are all three projects near the Wynn Resort? Yes, Orven's listings place Cala Del Mar, Costa Mare and Playa Del Sol all in proximity to the Wynn Resort, whose opening has been announced by the operator for 2027. No distance or travel time is published.

Do any of the three qualify automatically for the Golden Visa? None publishes a starting price, so eligibility against the 2 million AED federal threshold can only be confirmed once a specific unit and price are agreed with your adviser.

Can I compare availability across all three projects with one adviser? Yes. Orven can confirm current pricing, plan terms and availability across Cala Del Mar, Costa Mare and Playa Del Sol in a single conversation.
