Wynn Al Marjan Island unveils ultra luxury offering at RAK

Zawya2 days ago
UAE - Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE's first gaming resort coming up in Ras Al Khaimah, has unveiled the first look of its ultra luxury offering - Enclave - a new hallmark of Wynn's platinum-standard hospitality with bespoke service, extraordinary amenities, and lavish accommodations high above the grandeur of the greater Wynn Al Marjan Island resort.
Created by Wynn Design & Development, Enclave will feature a collection of 313 residences - including six distinct layouts, ranging from Enclave King Suites starting at 75 sqm to two lavish, two-story Royal Apartments measuring 1,500 sqm.
Conceived as a supremely elegant, coastal mansion of rarefied tranquility and anticipatory service, the arrival to Enclave occurs via a private, guarded, and verdant entry drive that welcomes guests into an exquisite lobby available exclusively to in-residence Enclave guests, said the developer.
Designed as an exceptionally rarefied address, Enclave is defined by its exclusivity and intimacy, with an elevated focus on privacy and intuitive service within an opulent world unto itself.
The lobby salons of Enclave are a prelude to a stunning processional gallery that leads guests to private elevators, which ascend to the hushed serenity of no more than 15 suites per floor.
Located on the uppermost levels of the resort's iconic 300-meter tower, Enclave's accommodations are awash in a stunningly tranquil palette of platinum, sapphire, cream, gold, and sea mist, hues that float cloud-like above the crystal-clear waters of Wynn Al Marjan Island, it stated.
True to Wynn's signature approach to creating spaces of timeless and enduring elegance, the suites envelop guests in a deeply residential sensibility and an aesthetic that embraces their stunning location in the sky, while also being deeply rooted in the lore of the region and its many international influences.
Thoughtfully curated in-room amenities anticipate the expectations of discerning international travelers around the clock.
Dual in-room private pantries reflect this commitment to anticipatory service and amenities: AM and PM provisions are presented in separate bespoke cabinetry and offer a refined product assortment tailored to each suite type.
Wynn's anticipatory approach to exceeding the expectations of its global clientele is evident in every detail of the suites' design, with deep consideration given to important cultural sensitivities and preferences. Wynn Al Marjan Island will attract Wynn Resorts' most diverse and sophisticated international clientele, and the accommodations within Enclave reflect this in every detail.
Unveiling the first look, Todd-Avery Lenahan, the President & Chief Creative Officer of Wynn Design & Development. said: "Wynn Resorts' passion for launching Enclave for the first time provided us the opportunity to deliver an experience unlike anything that exists in this region of the world: the challenge has been to build upon our expertise in creating intimacy within grandeur and to redefine the integrated resort experience."
"With the imagining of Enclave, we've invested exceptional design sensitivity into the importance of personal scale and a heightened sense of individual recognition. Every dimension of our design process in creating this jewel within Wynn Al Marjan Island's crown has been as artful and precise as cutting and polishing the facets of a rare and priceless gem," he stated.
"As with the overall resort's design concept of 'veiling and revealing' at every turn, it's often what's not seen that is more alluring and beautiful than what's obvious. That's what makes the rarefied veil of Enclave so special," he added.
Positioned at the peak of the Wynn Tower, two Royal Apartments of unprecedented extravagance and scale will make their debut within Wynn Al Marjan's Enclave.
As the penultimate commissions of internationally renowned designers Anouska Hempel (London) and Pinto Design (Paris) in collaboration with Wynn Design & Development, the Royal Apartments will be unrivaled by anything on the world stage of hospitality design and usher in a new era of Wynn's signature approach to creating experiences of celebrated elegance and glamour.
Another hallmark of the Enclave experience is its private reserve pool and beach setting along the East edge of the resort's gardens, said Lenahan.
Here, Enclave guests will enjoy a commanding view of Wynn Al Marjan Island's pristine shoreline and nightly sunsets in the Arabian Gulf's western sky.
Designed to accommodate a variety of experiences, ranging from quiet, secluded retreat to fun family gatherings, three pools and a private beach are situated within a verdant tropical setting of chic cabanas and private bungalows. As a hallmark of the Enclave pool and garden experience, beach butlers offer dining service on-demand, with every need anticipated from the comfort of a guest's poolside chaise, cabana, or bungalow, he stated.
Central to the Enclave experience is its restaurant located above the grand lobby, welcoming guests into a rich and luminous setting that is at once stylish and timeless. Breakfast service is offered exclusively to Enclave guests, after which the glittering skylit restaurant transforms for lunch and dinner into a vibrant celebration of Lebanese cuisine.
The authenticity and artfulness of the cuisine will define the restaurant as a new culinary landmark, helmed by a renowned Beirut and Paris restaurateur whose UAE debut comes with the opening of Wynn Al Marjan Island's Enclave, he added.
Slated to open in early 2027, the $3.9-billion Wynn Al Marjan Island will come up on a sprawling 60 hectares area. It comprises 1,217 resort rooms and 297 Enclave suites, plus two Royal Apartments, four garden Townhomes, and 10 Marina Estates.
Additionally, guests will discover 24 international dining, lounges and club venues, the region's most opulent spa and beauty destination, it added.

Ingram Micro cyber attack leads to concerns over Mena fallout

A ransomware attack on Ingram Micro, one of the world's largest IT distributors, has raised concerns about potential knock-on effects in the Middle East and North Africa region, where the company plays a critical role in supporting regional tech infrastructure. The attack, which began on Thursday, has disrupted the company's global operations, with online ordering systems, internal tools, and customer services affected across several regions. The culprit has been identified as the ransomware group SafePay, which is demanding payment in exchange for the restoration of systems. While Ingram Micro has not confirmed any affect on its Mena operations, the company maintains a significant presence in the region, with offices and distribution hubs in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other important markets. Notable regional clients span major industries. In Saudi Arabia, for instance, Ingram Micro delivers solutions for cloud, Cisco networking, Dell Technologies infrastructure and IBM systems to leading enterprises and government bodies. In Egypt and the UAE, the company has distribution agreements with vendors like Cisco, Acronis, Red Hat, SonicWall and Nvidia, serving sectors including finance, health care, telecom and public administration. It supplies a wide range of enterprise software, hardware, cloud solutions and IT services to hundreds of regional resellers, systems integrators and corporate clients. Mena vulnerabilities Mohamed Amine Belarbi, founder and chief executive of said the attack 'underscores a growing and deeply concerning trend: cyber criminals targeting critical nodes in the global IT supply chain'. He added that for the Middle East, where Ingram Micro maintains a strong operational footprint, the fallout could be significant. 'Many regional value-added resellers, system integrators, and cloud service providers rely on Ingram Micro's infrastructure to source, deploy and support core technology solutions.' The Middle East has experienced similar ransomware threats in recent years. In 2023, UAE telecoms operator Etisalat was listed by the LockBit ransomware group, which claimed to have stolen sensitive corporate data. That same year, cyber attacks on Mena organisations surged by 68 per cent, with the Gulf alone recording more than 50 ransomware incidents across various sectors, including finance, health care, real estate and energy, according to Group-IB. In 2022, Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai was also targeted in a ransomware attack that encrypted internal data, although patient care remained unaffected. These incidents demonstrate how ransomware continues to exploit weak links in the region's digital infrastructure, particularly through third-party sellers. In a statement addressing the continuing system power cut, Ingram Micro confirmed it had recently identified ransomware on specific internal systems. The company said it acted promptly by taking affected systems offline, securing its IT environment and initiating mitigation measures. The statement said that the company 'launched an investigation with the assistance of leading cyber security experts and notified law enforcement'. Ingram Micro added that it is 'working diligently to restore the affected systems so that it can process and ship orders', and apologised for any disruption caused to its customers, sellers and partners. No specific customer or partner data breaches have been reported so far. However, the continuing disruption highlights the vulnerability of global technology supply chains and their potential to affect businesses far beyond the immediate blast radius. A sustained disruption, according to Mr Belarbi, affects more than logistics. 'It can stall key public and private sector digital transformation projects, delay government IT procurement cycles, and hinder the roll-out of mission-critical systems across sectors like finance, energy and health care,' he said. He added that these are not just operational delays. 'They translate into real cyber security vulnerabilities as organisations stretch resources and scramble for alternatives.' Ingram Micro is often described as the 'backbone' of enterprise IT procurement, and its regional footprint has grown in recent years amid increased demand for digital infrastructure across the Gulf. It partners with major global sellers, including Microsoft, Cisco, Dell Technologies and HP, distributing their products and services to businesses in the Mena region. Ingram Micro has not yet responded to The National's request for comment regarding the status of its Mena operations. Regional readiness The SafePay group, which emerged in 2023, is known for attacking large, high-value corporate victims and using double extortion tactics, and demanding payment not only to decrypt systems but also to prevent the release of stolen data. According to a March report from Cyfirma, SafePay was among the fastest-growing ransomware threats, with its activity surging by 223 per cent, marking it as one of the most rapidly escalating groups in the cyber crime landscape. 'This incident is a wake-up call for Middle Eastern enterprises to rigorously vet the cyber resilience of their upstream vendors and distribution partners,' Mr Belarbi said. 'As the region positions itself as a global tech and innovation hub, supply chain cyber security must become a boardroom issue, not just an IT one.' The scale and duration of the Ingram Micro incident have underscored the risks that ransomware poses to core digital infrastructure, particularly when it is embedded across several geographies. While the Mena region has not reported confirmed power cuts, the full extent of the affect may not be clear until operations are fully restored. Cyber attacks in the region The incident follows a broader pattern of cyber attacks in the region, including a February breach at cryptocurrency exchange Bybit. Hackers exploited a vulnerability in a third-party seller to access user data and personal documents uploaded during the platform's identity verification process. Although Bybit said no customer funds were stolen, the attack highlighted how even regulated, high-profile digital platforms can be compromised through weak links in their extended supply chains. Such cases have renewed calls for stronger seller vetting, endpoint security and regional enforcement around digital supply chain protections.
