An Art Lover’s Paradise At Wynn Al Marjan Island

Wynn Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimahm United Arab Emirates, is set to open in Spring 2027. It promises more than just luxury hospitality – it will unveil a museum-calibre art collection, bringing together masterpieces, iconic works, and newly commissioned pieces from regional and international artists. The collection will be displayed across public spaces, guest areas, and rooms, creating a unique Living Gallery experience that immerses visitors in one of the region’s most significant private art holdings.Spanning Time And StyleThe collection is breathtaking in scope, covering the prehistoric, ancient, Victorian, Old Master, natural-world, and Orientalist periods. Among the highlights, guests can expect to see a 66-million-year-old Triceratops skull, a specially commissioned Light Into Life sculpture by British artist Marc Quinn, and a 17th-century, 10-metre wool-and-silk tapestry with counterparts at the Louvre and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.Wynn Al Marjan Island will also bring iconic pieces from its global properties to Ras Al Khaimah, including Jeff Koons’ 11-metre Tulips, previously displayed at Wynn Las Vegas, and a Jaume Plensa sculpture from the Secret Garden series. Complementing these are a rare set of 18th-century Buccleuch vases from Wynn Palace in Macao, alongside a Victorian cut-glass console and mirror from Wynn Las Vegas.Redefining The Art ExperienceTodd-Avery Lenahan, President and Chief Creative Officer of Wynn Design & Development, explains the resort’s philosophy: “Wynn Al Marjan Island’s approach to art goes far beyond acquisition. Beauty is a universal language, and by integrating art into the fabric of the resort, Wynn invites guests to discover these pieces in an informal yet meaningful way. Too often, art becomes forgettable when presented as formal or static. We take the opposite approach, designing moments that encourage engagement across every age and background.”Revisiting The East-West DialogueA standout feature of the collection is Lenahan’s contemporary reinterpretation of the East-West dialogue that shaped 19th-century Orientalism. Rather than Western artists bringing Middle Eastern imagery back to Europe, the collection returns historically significant works to the region that inspired them. Highlights include Caravan in the Desert by Gustave Guillaumet and Rudolf Ernst’s Entering the Temple, works depicting Islamic culture across North Africa, Turkey, and Egypt.Lenahan adds, “There is an extraordinary cultural legacy in this region. Its influence on the great Orientalist painters and explorers is profound. These works deserve to be contextualised with accuracy and respect; they are not decorations but the foundation of a living gallery. We built a resort around the art, not the other way around.”Rooms Celebrating Contemporary VoicesAlongside historic works, Wynn Al Marjan Island showcases contemporary regional talent. In-room artworks by Algerian artist Faïza Maghni, inspired by Persian miniatures, bring a modern sensibility to guest suites. “Every artwork carries intention,” Lenahan notes. “Nothing is placed for decoration alone. A resort of this calibre is a home for both established masters and tomorrow’s names.”An Immersive JourneyFrom arrival, the scale and emotion of the collection are felt. Statement pieces anchor each entrance, introducing guests to what Lenahan describes as “the first note in the song.” As visitors move through the resort, art unfolds in rhythm – alternating between grand gestures and intimate moments. Sculptures once displayed outdoors are brought inside, while delicate works are integrated into the landscape, inviting pause, reflection, and engagement.World-Class Luxury And AmenitiesSet across more than 60 hectares, Wynn Al Marjan Island will feature 1,217 resort rooms, 297 Enclave suites, two Royal Apartments, four Garden Townhomes, and ten Marina Estates.
