Sky High Shores: The World's First Rooftop Beach is Coming to the UAE

Imagine basking on pristine sand with the Arabian Sea stretching out before you, all while hundreds of feet above the ground. That's the reality coming to Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) in the United Arab Emirates with the construction of Manta Bay, a one-of-a-kind development boasting the world's first rooftop beach.

Reaching New Heights: Record-Breaking Beach

Developed by Major Developers, Manta Bay is a Dh1 billion (USD $272 million) project that's setting its sights on the sky. The centerpiece of this innovative project is the rooftop beach, touted as the highest in the world. Reaching a staggering 197 feet (60 meters) in height, it will offer residents and visitors a unique beach experience complete with real sand and seawater.

More Than Just a Beach: A Luxurious Escape

Manta Bay isn't just about the beach; it's a full-fledged residential project. The Dh400 million (USD $109 million) residential freehold component will feature 450 units, perfect for those seeking a luxurious island lifestyle with a record-breaking twist.

Prime Location: Capitalizing on Ras Al Khaimah's Growth

The developers have strategically chosen Al Marjan Island for this ambitious project. This man-made island is already a growing tourist destination, and with the highly anticipated opening of the Wynn Resort nearby, Manta Bay is poised to become a prime spot. Investors are taking notice, with strong interest, particularly from the US, fueled by the combined allure of the rooftop beach and the Wynn Resort.

A World Record Vision: Pushing the Boundaries

Major Developers isn't just building a beach; they're building a legacy. Their CEO, Andrei Charapenak, has stated their goal of achieving at least one world record with every project they undertake in the UAE. Manta Bay is a clear testament to that vision, pushing the boundaries of design and engineering to create a truly unique living experience.

Construction Underway: A 2026 Completion Date

Construction on Manta Bay is already underway, and with a targeted completion date of end-2026, it won't be long before residents can experience the world's first rooftop beach. This innovative project promises to be a major attraction for RAK, attracting tourists and investors alike.
