Quattro Del Mar, Hayat Island: A 10% Entry Into RAK's Waterfront
RAK Properties built Quattro Del Mar on Hayat Island, a waterfront address within Mina Al Arab in Ras Al Khaimah. The project spans four towers and offers apartments, duplexes, and townhouses. Construction started in April 2024. Completion is scheduled for December 2026.
Hayat Island: What the Location Actually Means
Hayat Island sits within Mina Al Arab, a master-planned waterfront district in Ras Al Khaimah. It is not a Dubai address. The commute to Dubai's business districts runs roughly 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic and destination. For buyers targeting RAK specifically, the trade-off is a beachfront setting and a different pace than the Dubai corridor.
Mina Al Arab is built around the waterway and sea, which makes beach and water access a practical feature of the address rather than a premium add-on. Quattro Del Mar sits within that geography, on Hayat Island itself.
Getting In for 10%
The payment plan is straightforward with a notable entry point.
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 30% |
| Handover | 60% |
The entry point is 10%. The structure is back-loaded: 60% of the purchase price falls due at handover in December 2026. For a buyer at the lower end of the price range, that means roughly AED 680,000 at handover on a AED 1.14M unit. The 30% during construction spreads across the build period from now until completion.
AED 1.1M to AED 11.6M: A Wide Range With a Clear Story
The price spread looks confusing until you break it down by unit type.
- Studios and 1-bedroom apartments start from AED 1,139,000 and cover 413 to 1,710 sq ft. These make up the bulk of the inventory.
- 2 and 3-bedroom apartments step up from around AED 7,890,000 for larger layouts.
- Townhouses start from AED 6,692,000 for a 2-bedroom at 1,932 sq ft and reach AED 10,024,000 for a 3-bedroom at 2,881 sq ft.
- Duplexes are the premium tier: a 2-bedroom duplex at 4,246 sq ft starts from AED 10,561,000, and the 3-bedroom duplex at 4,178 sq ft tops the range at AED 11,597,000.
A buyer drawn by the headline price of AED 1.1M is looking at a compact studio or 1-bed apartment. A buyer targeting the duplexes is in a completely different product category. The two ends of this range share a location and a developer but not much else.
Property Mix and Who Each Suits
The apartments fit yield-focused investors and owner-occupiers who want a RAK coastal base without a large capital commitment. The 1-bed apartments at AED 1.4M span 800-plus square feet across multiple layouts.
The townhouses suit families or buyers who want private outdoor space on an island setting. Two and three-bedroom formats at 1,900-plus sq ft are practical layouts for residents rather than pure investors.
The duplexes are large-format units with square footage approaching villa territory but within a managed building. At AED 10M-plus, these target buyers who want scale and a beachfront address without a standalone villa's maintenance requirements.
What the Amenity Set Says
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Gymnasium, Shared Spa, Shared Pool, Children's Pool |
| Outdoors | Beach Access, Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Convenience | Restaurants, Valet Parking, CCTV Security |
Ten amenities is a solid count for this price tier. Beach access is the headline, and it is direct rather than via a public beach. Valet parking and a shared spa are premium touches. Restaurants on-site reduces the need to leave the island for day-to-day needs, which matters given the location is not walking distance to a high street.
The amenity profile points at a permanent resident base as much as a holiday-rental one: children's facilities, a gym, a spa, and a beach all in one community.
December 2026: What It Means to Enter Now
Construction started in April 2024. With completion targeting December 2026, an off-plan buyer entering now is roughly 17 months from handover. That is a short enough window that the construction risk is partly behind you, and the project is closer to delivery than groundbreaking. The 10% down payment stretches entry capital further while the project completes, and the 60% at handover is the significant cash event on any unit in the range.
