ALMAL CONFIRMS 23% COMPLETION AT THEIR SOLD-OUT DEVELOPMENT – THE UNEXPECTED AL MARJAN ISLAND HOTEL & RESIDENCES

Almal Real Estate Development, a Dubai-based, award-winning investment and real estate development company, today announced that construction is already 23% completed, at its record-breaking, sold-out project, The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel & Residences in Ras Al Khaimah. Following launch, the project sold out faster than was anticipated, achieving the highest price point per square meter on the island at AED 6.300 PSF, receiving numerous accolades and business milestones from Marjan.
The construction is progressing on schedule and without delay towards its 2027 handover. This once again reinforces ALMAL’s commitment to its buyers as well as reinstating the sustained market value of premium developments on Al Marjan Island.
The milestone follows regular site visits by Founder of Almal Real Estate Development, Dmitriy Starovoitov, who confirmed that construction activity remains fully on track, with no delays or disruption, as cranes move continuously and development milestones are met. Amid global economic uncertainty, the uninterrupted pace of construction signals supply chain reliability, workforce stability, and sustained investor confidence, highlighting the consistency of project delivery in the UAE.
“Reaching this milestone at The Unexpected Al Marjan Island Hotel & Residences reflects disciplined execution and strong alignment across our partners,” said Starovoitov. “This sold-out project has been strongly received in the market, and the consistency of progress on site reflects the UAE’s stable and resilient economic environment, supported by reliable supply chains and sustained investor confidence. Our focus remains on delivering a high-quality, world-class project that aligns with market demand and contributes to the continued growth of Ras Al Khaimah.”
Located on the pristine shores of Al Marjan Island, the project is managed by the globally renowned Palladium Hotel Group, and comprises 422 five-star hotel rooms and branded residential units. Inspired by the vibrant energy of Ibiza, the development blends architectural elegance with a dynamic hospitality concept, offering direct proximity to the upcoming Wynn Al Marjan Island resort, the UAE’s first integrated destination, set to open in 2027. Designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings, the project delivers a refined beachfront experience defined by elevated amenities, world-class service, and a distinctive lifestyle offering that sets it apart within the region.
Al Marjan Island continues to gain momentum as one of the UAE’s most compelling investment destinations, positioning Ras Al Khaimah as a rising luxury and tourism hub with strong long-term fundamentals. Less saturated than Dubai, yet supported by increasingly mature infrastructure, the emirate has quietly established itself as a strategic growth market attracting international capital and developer interest.
Tourism figures reached 1.35 million visitors in 2025, marking a 6% year-on-year increase, with projections indicating growth to nearly 5.5 million visitors by 2030. The highly anticipated Wynn Al Marjan Island resort is expected to further accelerate demand in the surrounding area, reinforcing the island’s status as a focused investment zone with strong projected returns and long-term growth potential.
Almal Real Estate Development continues to expand its global portfolio across high-growth markets, delivering premium residential, hospitality, and mixed-use developments in partnership with internationally recognised operators in Bali, Cyprus and UAE.

94% OF MENOPAUSAL WOMEN REPORT SLEEP PROBLEMS, DRIVING DEMAND FOR BETTER SOLUTIONS
With an estimated 1.2 billion women expected to be menopausal or postmenopausal by 2030 and approximately 47 million women entering menopause each year, health experts are calling for greater awareness of one of the most common yet often overlooked symptoms of menopause, sleep disruption.
Despite impacting millions of women worldwide, menopause continues to be surrounded by stigma and remains one of the least discussed areas of women’s health. Sleep challenges, in particular, are emerging as a significant concern. According to the National Council on Aging (NCOA), more than 40% of women in perimenopause experience sleep problems, while between 52% and 64% of postmenopausal women struggle to achieve restorative sleep.
The scale of the issue is further highlighted by research involving women who had experienced their final menstrual period within the previous three years on behalf of REST. The study found that 94.5% reported difficulty sleeping, 92% experienced forgetfulness, 87% reported irritability, 85.5% experienced night sweats, and 83% suffered from hot flashes.
Hot flashes and night sweats are among the leading causes of sleep interruption during menopause. Medical experts explain that declining estrogen levels can make the body’s temperature regulation system more sensitive, triggering sudden feelings of intense heat that frequently disrupt sleep. As a result, maintaining a cool and comfortable sleeping environment has become increasingly important for women navigating menopause.
Responding to this growing need, innovative cooling sleep technologies are helping women improve sleep quality and manage menopause-related discomfort. Among these solutions is the Evercool Cooling Comforter, designed to regulate temperature throughout the night by rapidly absorbing and transferring body heat. Developed using advanced cooling fabric technology, the material is engineered to remain cooler than conventional fabrics such as cotton, bamboo, silk, and Tencel, helping to reduce heat accumulation that can contribute to nighttime discomfort.
In addition to its cooling capabilities, the comforter features moisture-wicking properties designed to draw excess humidity away from the body and accelerate evaporation, helping users stay dry during episodes of night sweats. The ultra-soft microdenier fabric also delivers a smooth and comfortable sleeping experience, while its cooling performance is achieved without the use of chemical additives, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin.
As awareness around menopause and women’s health continues to grow globally, sleep is increasingly being recognized as a critical component of overall wellbeing. With millions of women experiencing disrupted sleep due to hot flashes and night sweats, cooling sleep solutions are emerging as an important tool in helping women achieve more comfortable, restorative rest during one of life’s most significant transitions.

AMIS BREAKS GROUND ON JACOB & CO.’S VILLA COMMUNITY IN MEYDAN, SHOWCASES NEAR-COMPLETE WOODLAND RESIDENCES
AMIS GPD Development, one of Dubai’s fastest-growing real estate developers, has broken ground on its sixth project in less than two years, with the commencement of construction on Fleurs de Jardin, its landmark branded villa community created in partnership with high jewelry, high watchmaking brand, Jacob & Co. in Meydan District 11. The milestone further strengthens the company’s rapidly expanding portfolio, which now exceeds AED 2 billion in current development value across more than 340 units, while reinforcing confidence in the UAE’s resilient real estate sector and long-term economic vision.
Backed by a fully funded, debt-free business model and supported by institutional capital from Asia, AMIS Development has established itself as a developer-first organisation focused on execution, quality and timely delivery. The groundbreaking of Fleurs de Jardin marks another significant step in the company’s growth journey as it advances towards a projected AED 5 billion development pipeline by the end of 2026. This rapid expansion is laying the foundations for a future public listing within the next three to four years targeting a USD 10 Billion valuation.
Since entering the UAE market, AMIS Development has expanded its footprint through a carefully curated portfolio of luxury residential developments. In under two years, the company has launched six projects across Dubai, demonstrating its ability to identify high-growth locations, secure strategic partnerships and accelerate delivery timelines. Following and learning from the UAE growth story, AMIS believes in building trust by proof of delivery. Despite being among the last developers to acquire land within Meydan District 11, AMIS is now on track to become one of the first to complete and handover a community within the district when they deliver their Woodland Residences next year, also located here in District 11. This spectacular project with premium finishes and quality including surfaces made by Automobili Lamborghini, gives a first-hand look at the quality, scale and design approach AMIS is bringing to this location. This project truly reflects the company’s execution-led approach and commitment to delivering value for investors and homeowners alike.
The Fleurs de Jardin Villa Community is an exclusive residential offering by AMIS GPD Development, named after one of the most delicate and elaborate Jacob & Co. timepiece collections. It comprises ultra-luxury villas and mansions designed to offer residents the highest levels of privacy, craftsmanship and luxury living. The community features five-bedroom villas and six-bedroom grand mansions, each designed to reflect Jacob & Co.’s one-of-a-kind aesthetic, refined detailing and distinctive approach to luxury.
Commenting on this milestone, Neeraj Mishra, Founder and CEO of AMIS GPD Development, said: “The groundbreaking of Fleurs de Jardin is much bigger than the start of construction on a single project. It reflects the strength of the UAE’s real estate market and the confidence that investors continue to place in the country’s long-term vision. In less than two years, we have grown our portfolio to more than AED 2 billion in development value across six projects while maintaining a fully funded, debt-free position. This disciplined approach has enabled us to move quickly, build before selling and deliver with confidence. Fleurs de Jardin represents the next chapter in our growth story and reinforces our commitment to creating exceptional communities that contribute to Dubai’s evolution as a global destination for investment and luxury living. As we continue to scale towards a AED 5 billion pipeline, our focus remains unchanged: execution, quality and creating long-term value for our stakeholders.”
Jacob Arabo, Founder and Chairman of Jacob & Co., added: “The groundbreaking of Fleurs de Jardin reflects the strength of our partnership with AMIS GPD Development and our shared vision for creating truly exceptional residential experiences. We are excited to see this unique project move from concept to reality and look forward to once again bringing Jacob & Co.’s craftsmanship, exclusivity and creativity into luxury real estate.”
With a rapidly expanding portfolio, strong financial fundamentals and a clear roadmap for future expansion, the company is positioning itself among the region’s emerging development leaders while laying the foundations for its next phase of growth, including future capital market ambitions.
