Dalands Holding, in collaboration with Marriott International and with the support of ‘Marjan’, has announced the signing of W Residences Al Marjan Island. Set to open in Q4 2027, W Residences Al Marjan Island will be co-located with the W Al Marjan Island hotel, introducing a bold fusion of vibrant hospitality and elevated residential living to one of the UAE’s most iconic beachfront destinations. This milestone marks a new chapter in Dalands Holding’s expansion into the UAE, building on its successful track record of developing boutique resorts and high-end residences.
Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Marjan, added: “W Residences Al Marjan Island is a significant addition to our expanding portfolio of world-class developments on the island. We are pleased to welcome global brands like W Hotels and leading developers like Dalands Holding who have long-standing credibility as a hospitality-focused developer. This project will further enhance our position as a preferred destination for luxury living and investment, while enriching the cultural and economic landscape of Ras Al Khaimah.”
Saurabh Gupta, CEO of Dalands Holding, said, “We are delighted to introduce W Residences to Al Marjan Island; a development that embodies our vision for creating iconic destinations rooted in design, service, and a vibrant sense of place. Co-locating these 201 W Residences with W Al Marjan Island ensures an unmatched lifestyle offering, combining private, luxury living with access to exceptional hospitality services. These fully furnished residences, supported by a world-class hotel experience and direct access to the beach, is what sets this project apart.”
The residences will feature a range of exquisitely designed luxury homes, offering sweeping views and direct access to 130-metres-long beachfront. Each element of the development reflects the bold, irreverent spirit of the W Hotels brand, from cutting-edge interiors to the signature Whatever/Whenever services.
A wide array of exclusive amenities is planned to elevate the living experience for the residents. These include an exclusive reception area, WET infinity pool deck, a plush resident’s lounge, the brand’s signature FIT fitness hub including a yoga studio, a beachside lounging zone, a mini ‘Screening Room’, and dedicated entertainment spaces for private events and parties. With seamless access to select hotel services, residents will also get to enjoy the best of both worlds — privacy and comfort at home, and the vibrant, social energy of W Hotels in the same premise.
“This launch marks an exciting milestone for Marriott International as we continue to grow our luxury residential footprint in the region,” said Sandeep Walia, Chief Operations Officer, Middle East & Luxury, Europe, Middle East & Africa – Marriott International. “W Residences Al Marjan Island reflects the evolving expectations of today’s luxury consumer — seeking more than just a home, but an immersive lifestyle destination. We are proud to continue our collaboration with Dalands Holding and Marjan to bring this bold new residential offering to life alongside W Al Marjan Island.”
The residences represent a seamless fusion of upscale beachfront living and contemporary luxury hospitality. Positioned along the island’s pristine coastline, this development is poised to become a landmark address and a symbol of refined lifestyle in the Northern Emirates.

THE BABY ATELIER BRINGS HEALING THROUGH DESIGN: A CHILDREN’S LEARNING CENTER AT A GUJARAT HOSPITAL

Founded in 2016 by Payal Karumbiah, The Baby Atelier (TBA) has been redefining children’s spaces for nearly a decade. Holding a Master’s from Parsons School of Design and a Master of Science in Quantitative Finance, and with a professional background spanning Wall Street investment banking and the global luxury industry, Karumbiah brings a unique perspective to design. Her transition from finance to interiors was fuelled by the belief that children deserve environments that are not only functional but also psychologically supportive, and this vision continues to guide TBA’s work today. The Gujarat Learning Center is a living case study of this ethos in action.
The Baby Atelier, a purpose-led design studio specialising in child-centric interiors, has unveiled a pioneering 3,500-sq-ft Children’s Learning Center within a Gujarat hospital. This milestone project demonstrates how TBA’s psychology-driven approach to design translates seamlessly from homes into healthcare environments, shaping spaces that nurture healing, learning, and emotional wellbeing.
Where Calm Meets Creativity
Designed for young patients in long-term care, the center balances the sterility required of medical environments with the warmth and reassurance of human-centred design. Every element has been considered to support emotional regulation, agency, and comfort: muted palettes, diffused lighting, acoustic control, and tactile finishes work together to calm the senses while enabling exploration.
The result is a space that provides continuity for children whose daily lives are disrupted by illness. Beyond treatment, they are given an environment where learning, play, and social interaction continue to be part of everyday life — ensuring both normalcy and growth.
Inside the Learning Center
- Reading Nook: A quiet, sunlit retreat designed for privacy, focus, and the joy of books.
- Art Studio: Child-height supplies, pegboard walls, and dedicated display zones encourage creativity and self-expression.
- Role Play Zone: Miniature supermarkets, kitchens, and play stands that build confidence through safe, imaginative exploration.
- Study Zone: Collaborative tables, integrated technology, and world maps to support both group learning and structured lessons.
- Inclusive Play Area: Soft seating and activity blocks for gentle physical activity and inclusive interaction.
- Circle Time Space: A welcoming, barrier-free setting for shared stories, music, and group connection.
Design Psychology in Action
This project illustrates The Baby Atelier’s founding principle: children deserve environments that do more than function — they must feel intuitively supportive. By embedding principles of child psychology into every corner, the learning center demonstrates how intentional design can restore agency, confidence, and joy, even within a hospital setting.
From private nurseries to schools, public play areas, and now hospitals, The Baby Atelier continues to expand the definition of child-centred design. The Gujarat Learning Center stands as proof that design can heal, empower, and prepare children for who they are becoming.

Zara Home unveils its autumn/winter edit, a curated collection that captures the richness and warmth of the season. Inspired by earthy tones, natural textures and playful autumn motifs, the AW25 range brings the spirit of the season indoors with cosy charm and seasonal character.
This season, the collection is anchored in rust, chestnut and deep brown shades, layered with tactile finishes that celebrate the natural beauty of the colder months. Playful accents of pumpkins, autumn leaves and acorns appear across tableware and decorative accents, lending a whimsical seasonal touch to the home.
