About Al Hamra Island

Al Hamra Island sits off the Ras Al Khaimah coastline — a low-density, waterfront address that most Dubai buyers haven't fully clocked yet. That's precisely why we're paying attention. With just two projects currently in our catalogue, including a Waldorf Astoria-branded residence and an Ellington Properties development, the supply is deliberately tight. This is a destination for buyers who want genuine sea frontage, a slower pace than Dubai's main corridors, and the kind of name-brand credibility that travels well at resale. It's not for everyone. But for the right buyer, it's one of the more compelling propositions in the Northern Emirates right now.

Frequently asked questions about Al Hamra Island

Is Al Hamra Island a freehold community?
Al Hamra Island is part of Dubai's freehold framework — international buyers can take 100% ownership with full title registered at the Dubai Land Department. Purchases above AED 2 million qualify for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. Properties below AED 750,000 may also qualify the buyer for a 2-year residence visa.
Can foreigners buy property in Al Hamra Island?
Yes. Al Hamra Island sits within Dubai's freehold zones, where international buyers take perpetual 100% ownership with title registered at the Dubai Land Department. No UAE residency is required to buy, though purchases above AED 750,000 (2-year visa) or AED 2 million (10-year Golden Visa) entitle owners to apply for residence.
What payment plans are available in Al Hamra Island?
Most off-plan projects in Al Hamra Island offer staged payment plans tied to construction milestones — typically a 10–20% deposit at booking, instalments through the build, and a balance on handover (commonly 60/40 or 70/30 splits). Some developers also offer post-handover payment plans of 1–3 years. Each project page above lists its specific plan.
What fees should I expect when buying in Al Hamra Island?
Standard one-time costs for any Dubai property purchase: 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, AED 4,000 DLD admin fee, 2% real estate agent commission, AED 4,000 trustee/registration fee, and a mortgage registration fee of 0.25% of the loan amount if you're financing. Budget an additional 6–8% of the purchase price for fees in total.
