Wynn Resorts has confirmed that construction activity has resumed at its Wynn Al Marjan Island development in Ras Al Khaimah following a brief pause.
In an update issued by the company, Wynn Resorts stated that work on the integrated resort project is continuing as normal after temporary disruptions. The company said it remains in regular communication with both the US Government and authorities in the United Arab Emirates to monitor the situation and make informed decisions regarding the project’s development.
According to the operator, construction teams have resumed activities on site, and additional measures have been introduced to ensure the safety and security of employees working on the project. The company also noted that broader business activity in the local area has largely continued as usual.
Wynn Resorts confirmed that its internal teams responsible for design, development and operational planning have maintained progress throughout the period. Staff involved in the project have been given the option to work from abroad if recommended by their respective embassies.
The company stated that it will continue monitoring conditions closely and will evaluate any potential future impacts on the development if necessary.
Wynn Al Marjan Island is one of the largest hospitality projects currently under construction in the region. Once completed, the resort is expected to become the first integrated casino resort in the UAE and the wider Middle East and North Africa region.
The project forms a central component of Wynn Resorts’ international expansion strategy and is scheduled to open in early 2027. The resort will feature hotel accommodation, entertainment venues, convention space and a casino floor, as well as a range of retail and dining facilities.
This latest update follows a series of significant developments surrounding the project. In January 2026, Wynn unveiled Wynn Oasis, a purpose-built 26-acre residential community designed to house approximately 80% of the resort's workforce across more than 7,000 units.
February 2026 saw Wynn Resorts report its full-year 2025 financials, recording net revenue of $7.1bn despite a 34.7% fall in net income. Earlier updates from late 2025 had outlined projected annual gaming revenues of between $1bn and $1.66bn for the UAE property, alongside confirmation that the resort remains on track for its planned early-2027 opening.
