Buyers who want a private island rather than a gated community within one. Ramhan is developed by Eagle Hills, sits between Yas and Saadiyat, and is one of the few fully freehold island communities in Abu Dhabi — open to buyers of any nationality.
Villas above AED 2 million qualify for the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa. Early-phase villas hand over from Q4 2026; the rest of the villa programme runs through 2027, with marina residences and the island's flagship hotel completing in 2028–2029.
Ramhan will house the UAE's first Ritz-Carlton Reserve — only the eighth in the world — including the region's first floating villas, sitting directly on the water.
Marriott International and Eagle Hills are bringing the Ritz-Carlton Reserve brand to the UAE for the first time, on a secluded part of Ramhan Island. It's only the eighth Ritz-Carlton Reserve anywhere in the world.
The property will hold 50 private one-to-four-bedroom villas, including floating villas that sit directly on the water — a first for the region, closer to the Maldives than anything currently built in the Gulf.
Opening is slated for 2029, alongside the island's 900 marina residences.

Ramhan is real and selling now, but hospitality is still catching up to the villa handovers.
RESERVE50 villas incl. the region's first floating villas — the 8th Reserve property in the world. Opens 2029.
Day-to-day infrastructure is still catching up to the villa handovers — worth knowing what's confirmed on-island versus a short drive away.
Resale asking prices already run well above launch pricing, even before the mainland bridge and full infrastructure are complete — a sign of how scarce villa-only private-island stock is in this market.
