What you are buying
The Residences at Nasim Al Bahr is a branded residential project on Al Marjan Island, developed by ADNH and managed under The Luxury Collection by Marriott. The project is also marketed as The Luxury Collection Residences. It combines 392 apartments in a 19-storey building with 55 townhouses and villas, from one-bedroom apartments up to a single presidential villa of 11,697 sq ft.
ADNH has spent 50 years running hotels such as Ritz-Carlton, Park Hyatt, Sofitel and Kempinski. Nasim Al Bahr is its first residential project. That matters in both directions, and we come back to it under risks.

Two things stand out. The one, two and three-bedroom apartments all sit in a tight band of AED 3,440 to 3,570 per sq ft, so a bigger apartment does not cost more per foot. And among the villas, the podium villas are the cheapest per foot at about AED 3,950, well below the beach and seaside villas at around AED 5,800 to 5,900. You pay a premium of roughly 50% per foot to be on the sand.
Every unit clears the AED 2 million threshold for the UAE Golden Visa, including the entry one-bedroom. Off-plan purchases qualify on the value in the sales agreement.
The payment plan
The plan on The Luxury Collection units is 20 / 30 / 50. You pay 20% to book, 30% at handover in Q1 2028, and the final 50% over three years after you get the keys.
Half the price is paid after you own a finished, managed home. On a one-bedroom at AED 3,444,000, that is AED 688,800 to book and AED 1,722,000 spread across the three years after handover, when the unit can already be earning rent.
The location
The project sits on one of only four private bays on Al Marjan Island, and it is about five minutes from Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE's first integrated gaming resort, opening in September 2027.

How the rental pool works
Owners can place their unit in the managed rental pool. Utilities are deducted first, then income is split 45 / 55 between owner and operator. A furniture and equipment reserve is taken monthly from the owner's share and held in a pool, and any unused balance is returned when you sell or leave the rental agreement.
Know that split before you run any yield numbers. It is the single biggest factor in what you actually take home.
The risks
A first residential project
ADNH knows hospitality better than almost anyone in the region, but it has not delivered a residential building before. The Marriott brand and the escrow structure reduce that risk. They do not remove it.
You are paying the branded premium
At around AED 3,450 to 3,570 per sq ft, the apartments sit far above the island average of about AED 1,100 to 1,400 per sq ft reported for Q1 2026. You are buying the brand, the bay and the management. Make sure that is what you want.
Half the price comes after handover
The 50% post-handover portion is an obligation, not a gift. Plan for it as if rental income were zero.
