Giorgio Armani, in collaboration with RAK Properties and SIE Group, has announced the launch of Armani Beach Residences Ras Al Khaimah, featuring the world’s first Armani-branded villas.
The luxury development will be located on Raha Island, a coastal district within Mina Al Arab, offering direct beach access and panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf.
Exclusive coastal setting
Set in a secluded bay, the project includes a limited collection of beach villas and luxury apartments. Designed to blend into the natural surroundings, the homes reflect Armani’s design ethos of understated elegance and simplicity.
Each residence will provide private beach access, with views across Ras Al Khaimah’s shoreline, backed by the Jebel Jais mountain range.
Armani’s design vision
The residences are being designed by Giorgio Armani and his architectural team, drawing inspiration from his own private homes.
“New projects related to living fascinate me because I can bring the way of thinking of Haute Couture, that is, the use of precious materials and unique, tailored creations, into the space where we live,” said Giorgio Armani, Chairman and CEO of the Armani Group.
“The villas developed in collaboration with RAK Properties, a true excellence in the sector, represent an important milestone in this journey and are even more significant because they are designed to integrate into the evocative surrounding marine landscape, offering a unique lifestyle experience.”
Lifestyle and amenities
Residents will have access to a range of curated amenities, including a members-only beach club, concierge services, and exclusive experiences managed by Giorgio Armani’s global network. These offerings aim to create a private and refined community lifestyle.
The launch also marks the 25th anniversary of Armani/Casa and the 50th anniversary of the Giorgio Armani brand.
The development is aligned with Ras Al Khaimah’s Vision 2030, which aims to enhance the emirate’s economic, social, and environmental landscape. The area is home to diverse marine and birdlife, including turtles, dolphins, and flamingos, reinforcing Ras Al Khaimah’s image as the nature capital of the UAE.
“At RAK Properties, we are proud to bring Armani’s iconic design philosophy to life with Armani Beach Residences Ras Al Khaimah,” said Sameh Muhtadi, CEO of RAK Properties.
“This transformative partnership with Armani is a testament to Ras Al Khaimah’s growing appeal and our shared vision for the future of its premium real estate proposition.”
The project adds another high-end residential offering to the emirate’s expanding property market.
