Hayat Island

A residential and resort island in Mina, on the Ras Al Khaimah coast, with beaches, a waterfront promenade and views across the Arabian Gulf to the Hajar Mountains.

Hayat Island is one of the two man-made islands at the heart of Mina, the waterfront destination on the Ras Al Khaimah coastline, around 45 minutes from Dubai. The island combines residential neighbourhoods with five-star resorts, and its setting is defined by beaches, canals and natural views across the Arabian Gulf towards the Hajar Mountains. Protected mangroves and coastal wetlands nearby give the area a sense of space that is unusual for a coastal community.

Daily life on the island moves at an unhurried pace. Residents have a clubhouse and community park, a promenade along the water, restaurants and shops facing the sea, and landscaped routes for cycling and walking that link the neighbourhoods. Homes range from beachfront villas and townhouses to apartment buildings and seafront residences, making Hayat Island a fitting choice for families, second-home owners and anyone seeking a quieter coastal rhythm with Downtown Mina close by.
