Lunara: RAK Properties' first launch at The Strand

Lunara at The Strand is RAK Properties' first launch within The Strand, part of the Marjan Beach District on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. The listing describes three connected towers holding 583 homes in total, with 14 retail units and 8 food and beverage outlets, a 1.5 km promenade and about 5,000 trees across the development. Commercial launch took place on 5 March 2026, construction is set to start in the fourth quarter of 2026, and delivery is targeted for the first quarter of 2029.

This guide works from what Orven's Lunara listing confirms. The payment plan is not published and is treated as on request rather than assumed.

Typologies and scale

Lunara's published typology range covers:

  • 1 and 2-bedroom apartments
  • 3-bedroom penthouses

Across three connected towers, the development totals 583 homes, with a retail and dining layer built in: 14 shops and 8 food and beverage outlets, alongside the 1.5 km promenade and roughly 5,000 trees that the listing describes as part of the public realm. Current availability by typology and tower is confirmed by your adviser.

Starting price and what it buys

Lunara's listing publishes a starting price of 1.28 million AED. That figure applies to the entry-level typology at current availability; larger units, including the 3-bedroom penthouses, are priced according to size and position, confirmed by your adviser. The payment plan itself is on request, so no instalment breakdown is published for this project.

Launch timeline and construction status

A few dates define where Lunara sits in its own timeline: commercial launch on 5 March 2026, construction starting in the fourth quarter of 2026, and delivery targeted for the first quarter of 2029. Because construction had not yet started at commercial launch, Lunara is at an earlier stage than some other Al Marjan Island projects already under construction; treat the Q1 2029 date as the current target, confirmed and updated by your adviser as the project progresses.

Registration costs at the published starting price

Ras Al Khaimah land registration (service ZL13, at the RAK Municipality's land department) applies 2% of the market value to the buyer and 2% to the seller, plus a 200 AED plot plan fee and a 200 AED title fee. On Lunara's published starting price of 1.28 million AED, the buyer's 2% share works out to roughly 25,600 AED, though the actual amount depends on the value used at registration and the nature of the sale, and should be confirmed with your adviser or the land department. Whether equivalent off-plan registration fees apply before handover is not confirmed for this project; our guide on how a construction-linked payment plan works covers how such schedules generally work pending that confirmation.

Golden Visa: below the threshold at entry price

At its published starting price of 1.28 million AED, Lunara sits below the 2 million AED federal Golden Visa threshold. A larger or higher-floor unit, including a 3-bedroom penthouse, may reach or exceed the threshold at a price confirmed by your adviser. Our guide on the Golden Visa property threshold covers the federal rule, applied under conditions still to confirm with the authorities.

Who Lunara suits

The combination of a defined starting price, a built-in retail and dining layer, and a multi-year runway to delivery suits a buyer comfortable entering early in a project's life, before construction has begun, in exchange for an entry price at the lower end of the collection. It is less suited to someone who wants to move into a finished unit quickly, given the Q1 2029 delivery target.

What to confirm before you reserve

  • The payment plan terms, since none is published for Lunara.
  • The exact price for your target typology, tower and floor, beyond the published 1.28 million AED starting figure.
  • How registration fees apply at the off-plan stage, as distinct from the figures above, which relate to the land department's sale registration service.
  • Whether your target unit would clear the Golden Visa threshold, confirmed once a price is in hand.
