Mira Coral Bay: The World’s First Multi-Branded Waterfront Community

This May, Ras Al Khaimah witnessed a historic night as Mira Developments hosted the grand unveiling of Mira Coral Bay, the world's first multi-branded waterfront community, to be set across the picturesque shores of Al Mairid.

Located in Al Mairid, Ras Al Khaimah, Mira Coral Bay represents the pinnacle of waterfront luxury living, seamlessly blending world-class branded residences with five-star hospitality.

The unprecedented development will feature the 14 branded residential projects, five-star hotels and world-class dining options set within the 220,000 sqm Mira Coral Bay master plan by Marco Casamonti & Partners / Archea Associati.

The official unveiling, opened by Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Marjan, and Tamara Getigezheva, Co-Founder of Mira Developments, was carried on by Muaed Alakaev, Head of Sales at Mira Developments, and Marwan Al Kindi, Founder and CEO of Lighthouse Properties, and featured top spokespersons from each participating brand, including Marcello Grasselli, President Middle East Dolce&Gabbana; Andrea Gentilini, CEO Luxury Living Group; Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO ETRO; Jacob Arabo, Chairman & Founder Jacob&Co.; Alberto Racca, CEO Trussardi; and Mena Marano, CEO Arav Group.

‘Mira Coral Bay is not just another project, it’s an answer to the ‘what-if’ question. What if the world’s best brands came together in one place? What if you were surrounded by luxury at every step? And today, we are opening the next chapter, where the “what if” becomes a reality. And when we say luxury – we mean it. You’re not just buying property. You’re stepping into a fully curated life. The furniture? The kind most people wait months for. The tech? So smart, it almost knows what you need before you do. The ceilings? Tall enough to hold even your greatest ideas. And the view? The sea isn’t outside – it’s part of your interior,’ said Tamara Getigezheva, Co-Founder of Mira Developments. 

The grand reveal of the partner brands – Dolce&Gabbana Casa, Bentley Home, Etro Home, Jacob & Co., John Richmond and Trussardi – marked a pivotal moment in luxury real estate, setting new standards for waterfront living. The evening also introduced a completely new branded concept: Kadar Villas. This project is the result of a collaboration between a world-renowned architect and a leading global branding agency. Each villa will come with two special edition luxury cars from a prestigious automotive brand, bespoke interiors personally curated by a legendary interior designer, and custom household appliances from top-tier luxury names.

Mira Coral Bay brings together the world’s most prestigious luxury brands in one extraordinary location, creating an unprecedented lifestyle destination along the pristine shores of the Arabian Gulf. With this launch, Ras Al Khaimah takes a bold step forward in its evolution as a premier global destination – one where innovative design and iconic partnerships reshape the future of waterfront living.
