What happened

Anantara and InterContinental now both operate resort hotels inside the Mina Al Arab masterplan, giving RAK Properties two internationally recognised hospitality anchors alongside its branded-residence developments on Raha Island. IHG operates the InterContinental property; Minor Hotels operates the Anantara.

Why it matters

The hospitality anchors matter beyond tourism numbers — branded residences on Raha Island explicitly market their proximity to these operators as part of the investment case. Our Properties page has the full development-by-development breakdown, including unit counts and completion timelines.
