Launched today, Bab Al Bahr set on Rakeen’s man-made coral-shaped scheme extending four kilometres into the Arabian Gulf. Offering 360 degree sea views and private beachfronts, the Bab Al Bahr luxury resort when complete in 2009 will comprise a 290-room deluxe hotel incorporating 120 time-share apartment, 710 freehold residential apartments in five buildings as well as a 25-storey retail and office tower deemed to be the business headquarters of the island.

In line with the high benchmark set by Dubai’s property projects, residents owing property in Bab Al Bahr will enjoy a vast collection of facilities. A private beach, pool bar, gym, themed swimming pools, children’s play areas, parking for 800 cars, 24 hour security and hotel fitness and health club privilege access. Investors through special arrangements with the adjacent B&G hotel will have an apartment ‘rental pool’ at their disposal facilitating a complete management service for renting their Bab Al Bahr unit.

Just 20 minutes from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport and 45 minutes from Dubai, Rakeen in its creation of Bab Al Bahr is aiming to build a modern day haven with the ideal home in an idyllic island lifestyle. This self-contained community’s leisure facilities will include a nearby golf course, a night club, exotic gardens, beach parks, a la carte dining options and beach activities.
