Gateway I Residences

Project general facts

Gateway I Residences is a low-rise residential building by RAK Properties, designed with a free-flowing facade that reflects the surrounding natural elements. The architecture follows a minimalist style with clean geometric lines, a contrast of light and dark facade elements and glass balcony railings that give the building a lighter appearance. The residences comprise one- and two-bedroom apartments arranged as open, flowing living spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious balconies overlooking the waterways and the natural landscape of the island.

The amenities are planned as a community within a community, with a communal flow that brings residents together. Leisure facilities include an outdoor swimming pool with a sun deck framed by landscaped gardens, and a fully equipped gym overlooking the pool. Families have an indoor children's play area, while social life centres on a games room and a spacious communal lounge suited to private gatherings. A cafe with a library offers a quiet corner for reading, and cascading landscaping with water features opens the grounds towards the beach and the waterfront promenade.

The apartments come semi-furnished, with modern fixtures and fittings and state-of-the-art kitchens in a minimalist design that combines style, practicality and comfort. Interiors follow a light colour palette that keeps the rooms bright and calm. Environmentally friendly features include power- and water-saving solutions that lower running costs and the building's footprint. The apartments are smart home enabled, allowing residents to monitor energy consumption and control air conditioning, lighting and other devices through mobile apps.

Location description and benefits

Mina Al Arab is a fully integrated waterfront community on the coastline of Ras Al Khaimah, spread across the mainland shoreline and two man-made islands. The area is planned around its natural setting, with pristine white sand beaches, lush parkland, coastal wetlands and protected ecological preserves. The Lagoon Walk promenade lines the canal with waterside shops, cafes and restaurants, while the Lagoon Marina adds a further waterfront focal point for residents and visitors.

Daily life in the community is supported by parks and playgrounds, community swimming pools, a hypermarket and a variety of retail and dining outlets. Recreational facilities include gyms, tennis courts, a football field and spas. The adjacent island hosts the Anantara and InterContinental resorts with their restaurants and leisure offerings. Ras Al Khaimah International Airport, the Ice Land Water Park, international schools and healthcare facilities are within driving distance.

Mina Al Arab is positioned as a premier waterfront community of Ras Al Khaimah, combining resort-style living with a calm, family-oriented environment suited to families and young professionals alike. The presence of internationally branded hotels supports interest from both long-term tenants and holiday visitors. Freehold ownership makes the community an accessible option for investors seeking waterfront property in a quieter setting than the busier markets of the emirates.
