Granada II

About Granada II

Granada II is the second phase of the Granada townhouse community inside Mina Al Arab: 80 homes of two and three bedrooms, 52 of them two-bedroom at about 1,831 sq ft and 28 three-bedroom at about 2,224 sq ft. It completed in the first quarter of 2026 and the developer has sold out.

The design is a deliberate continuation rather than a reinvention: contemporary lines and clean, light interiors layered onto the traditional aesthetic of the original Granada cluster. The result is a small, established neighbourhood with mature landscaping rather than a new-build plot, which is the reason to look at it.

What to weigh. The headline amenity is the private beach: the developer says residents are on the sand within one minute, exclusive to Granada II. In a masterplan where beach access is increasingly shared with hotel guests, a private strip is a real and durable advantage — and it is the one thing a neighbouring apartment building cannot replicate.

Second, the price. The portal shows from about AED 2.3 million for a community whose largest home is about 2,224 sq ft, which implies roughly AED 1,034 per sq ft at best and more at the two-bedroom end. Compare that with Marbella Villas II across the masterplan, where the portal records about AED 909 per sq ft on a larger average home. The gap is the beach premium and the age gap, and it is worth testing both ways.

Third, the type. These are townhouses, not villas: two or three bedrooms over a compact footprint, with private outdoor space but shared walls. That suits a family with one or two children or a couple trading an apartment for a garden, and it is a different proposition from the four-bedroom detached villas at Marbella.

Fourth, the resale mechanics. The launch plan was a 50/50 with 10% down and an optional two-year post-handover schedule, so some owners may still be paying. If you buy from one of them, the developer’s consent and novation are required, and that is the step that most often delays completion.

Compiled November 2026 from RAK Properties’ Granada II project page and factsheet (unit mix, sizes, payment plans, completion, amenities) and the listing portal’s record for the portal-listed resale price. The developer publishes no current prices: the project is sold out.

Homes, sizes and price

Two types across 80 homes. The sizes are the developer’s published averages; prices are resale and not published by RAK Properties.

The portal’s from-price of AED 2.3 million is close to what a three-bedroom would imply at AED 1,034 per sq ft, so it is probably a three-bedroom asking price rather than an entry to the two-bedroom stock. If you want a two-bedroom, expect to negotiate from a lower base — and ask what has actually sold in the cluster rather than what is advertised.

In a community of 80 homes, liquidity is the issue. Two or three sales a year is normal, and the difference between the asking price and the achieved price is often larger than in a 600-unit tower where there are more comparables. Ask your agent for the last three registered transfers, with dates.

Because the cluster is only months old at the time of writing, the first resales are the true price discovery. The earliest sales will set the benchmark for the next two years, so it is worth knowing exactly what they went for before you make an offer.

Price and payment plan

The published launch plan was a 50/50 with 10% down, and an optional two-year post-handover schedule at the same split. On a resale, the remaining plan belongs to the seller.

A post-handover plan on a completed townhouse is effectively seller financing, and it is worth having if the developer agrees to the transfer. The question to ask is whether the remaining balance carries a markup and whether the developer charges a transfer or admin fee to novate — both are normal and both should be priced before you agree a purchase price.

On a brand-new townhouse, also budget for landscaping, window treatments and the garden works that a developer does not deliver. In this cluster that has historically been a meaningful extra on top of the purchase price.

Amenities

Granada II is built around outdoor space rather than a club: family parks and a children’s play area, immersive gardens with jogging paths and tree-lined avenues that connect the cluster to the heart of Mina Al Arab, and private beach access that the developer puts at a one-minute walk from the door.

That is a lighter amenity programme than the island’s towers, and it comes with a lighter service charge. For a townhouse owner with a garden, the shared amenity matters less than it does in an apartment building — you already have your own outdoor space.

The practical question is the beach access: is it a deeded right, a community easement or a developer arrangement with the neighbouring hotel? Get the answer in writing, because it is the single feature that supports the premium over Marbella.

Where it is

Granada II sits inside Mina Al Arab in Ras Al Khaimah, in the established part of the masterplan close to the beach and the resort cluster: InterContinental, Anantara and Nikki Beach are all within the community, and RAK Properties quotes Dubai at 45 minutes by car.

The position is the point. Mina is a built environment now — the hotels are operating, the promenade exists, the trees are mature — and a townhouse in the middle of it buys a settled neighbourhood rather than a construction programme. That is a different purchase from the Raha Island towers, where you would be moving in ahead of the district.

The trade-off is that Mina is not a city. Schools, hospitals and supermarkets are a drive, and Ras Al Khaimah city centre is about 20 minutes. For a family that wants the beach and the resort life, that is the deal; for one that wants walkable conveniences, look harder at what is actually open.
