In a dazzling symphony of fireworks, fashion, and futuristic design, Ras Al Khaimah witnessed a moment last week that may redefine the global luxury property playbook. Mira Coral Bay—the world’s first fully-fledged, multi-branded waterfront community—was unveiled to an elite international audience, raising the curtain on a development that’s not merely ambitious but audaciously transformative.
Set against the serene canvas of Al Mairid’s shimmering coastline, the grand unveiling was less a property launch and more an haute couture gala with concrete foundations. Mira Developments, helmed by the visionary Tamara Getigezheva and the quietly formidable Marwan Al Kindi of Lighthouse Properties, hosted a spectacle with all the polish of a royal coronation and the style to match.
Gathered under the soft Ras Al Khaimah sky were some of the most powerful names in fashion, jewellery, design, and hospitality. Among them, Marcello Grasselli of Dolce&Gabbana, Andrea Gentilini of Luxury Living Group, Fabrizio Cardinali from ETRO, Jacob Arabo of Jacob&Co., Alberto Racca of Trussardi, and Mena Marano of the Arav Group — each one a titan of taste and a custodian of legacy.
The evening, orchestrated with panache by presenters Enjy Kiwan and Yousef Abdalbari, commenced with a theatrical reveal of the 220,000-square-metre masterplan—the sort of grand scale that Italian architect Marco Casamonti & Partners / Archea Associati sketches in dreams and then, miraculously, builds.
Nestled in the gentle lap of the Arabian Gulf, 14 distinct branded residential enclaves, five-star hotels, and culinary experiences will be created to match the finest tables in Milan, Tokyo, and New York. The land is premium, the ambition peerless, but the brands truly steal the show.
Dolce&Gabbana Casa. Bentley Home. Etro Home. Jacob&Co. John Richmond. Trussardi. These aren’t just names stitched onto brochures — they’re embedded in the DNA of Mira Coral Bay. For the first time, the ethos of fashion’s uppermost echelon will be lived, not just worn.
Then came the showstopper: Kadar Villas. This isn’t merely branded living — it’s signature lifestyle on overdrive. Each villa will come adorned with handpicked interiors curated by a legendary designer, bespoke appliances designed to blend function with fantasy, and — in what could only happen in a place like Mira Coral Bay — not one, but two special-edition luxury cars included with every home.
As Getigezheva put it, in a speech that was half proclamation and half personal manifesto:
“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 luxury wasn’t just around you, but within you? This is not about buying property. It’s about stepping into a fully curated life.”
Indeed, this is not where one purchases a house — one adopts a new rhythm of living. A life where technology anticipates your needs, ceilings soar like ambition, and where the sea isn’t merely a view, but a silent, ever-present companion.
The culinary arts, too, weren’t left out. Cipriani — a name synonymous with elegance on a plate — curated the evening’s dining, which transitioned into a jaw-dropping synchronised drone show and fireworks finale that could be heard applauding in Dubai.
And through it all, Ras Al Khaimah stood tall — no longer the quieter cousin of Abu Dhabi or Dubai, but now a contender in its own right. With Mira Coral Bay’s unveiling, the emirate didn’t just join the conversation — it rewrote the invitation list.
This development, bold as it is beautiful, positions Ras Al Khaimah as a new capital of coastal grandeur. It offers a window into a lifestyle many only glimpse on magazine pages — now brought to life on the shores of the UAE’s rising gem.
We see the ultimate blend of architectural aspiration, luxury legacy, and lifestyle innovation with Mira Coral Bay. More than real estate, it’s real prestige. And if the evening’s fanfare is anything to go by, the world is not just watching — it’s already booking.
