Ras Al Khaimah, UAE — In a landmark addition to Ras Al Khaimah’s luxury real estate landscape, Tissoli and Italian design house Pininfarina have unveiled Palazzo Tissoli Design by Pininfarina, a mixed-use AED 1.2 billion development set on Al Marjan Island.
The project marks Pininfarina’s first architectural venture in Ras Al Khaimah and represents a seamless convergence of Italian design heritage and Arabian Gulf coastal living.
A New Landmark for Al Marjan Island
Positioned along one of Al Marjan Island’s most exclusive coastal stretches, Palazzo Tissoli Design by Pininfarina rises 13 floors above the shoreline, offering panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and the surrounding desert-mountain landscape. The development is envisioned as a mixed-use urban catalyst, integrating residences, wellness amenities, and curated retail.
“Palazzo Tissoli arrives at a transformative moment for Al Marjan Island and for Ras Al Khaimah,” said Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Marjan.
“It embodies our ambition to shape a destination where visionary architecture meets purposeful development. By bringing this level of design excellence to our shores, we’re not only enhancing the island’s landscape but accelerating RAK’s emergence as a global hub for inspired living, investment, and tourism.”
Italian Design Meets Arabian Landscape
The architecture of Palazzo Tissoli Design by Pininfarina draws inspiration from Ras Al Khaimah’s natural mosaic of dunes, mangroves, and sea waves, transforming these organic forms into smooth lines and soft tones. Its façade transitions from grove greens to desert beige, creating harmony between interior and exterior spaces.

“Palazzo Tissoli marks a significant milestone in reinforcing Pininfarina’s presence in the Middle East, as our second branded real estate project in the region,” said Giovanni De Niederhäusern, Senior Vice President of Architecture & Product Design at Pininfarina.
“Its prime location, meticulous attention to detail, and seamless integration with nature reflect our ongoing commitment to curating exceptional living experiences.”
He added, “This project exemplifies our dedication to serving a refined community that identifies with Pininfarina’s values and chooses to live in spaces that embody our design philosophy.”
Living Between Sea and Sky
Designed as a luxury retreat destination, Palazzo Tissoli integrates exclusive residences, curated retail, and wellness-focused spaces within a single vertical ecosystem. The lower levels feature spa and wellness facilities, yoga and vitality studios, a children’s play area, and lagoon pools arranged around a lush central courtyard.
Residents will also have access to:
- A Skyline Lounge and 24-hour Café for social gatherings.
- Casa del Sigaro for refined evenings.
- Cinema Palazzo for private screenings.
- Serenity Spa and Kids’ Splash Park for families.
“At Tissoli, we aim to develop masterpieces that celebrate life through curated experiences,” said Pooja Rathore, COO of Tissoli.
“Palazzo Tissoli is our answer to the question: what happens when you give Italian design masters a canvas on the Arabian Gulf? The result is a development where every blueprint, material, and amenity tells a story.”
Residences and Amenities
The project’s residential offerings include studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, as well as duplex corner units. Each residence offers expansive balconies with views of either the Burj Khalifa skyline in the distance or the Ras Al Khaimah coastline.

Atop the tower, residents will find a rooftop infinity pool, sky bar, and private jacuzzi gardens, creating a tranquil space suspended between sea and sky.
Italian Design Heritage Arrives in Ras Al Khaimah
“We are delighted to partner with Tissoli on this landmark project,” said Fabio Calorio, Senior Vice President of Brand at Pininfarina.
“For more than 95 years, Pininfarina has pursued the perfect balance between beauty and performance — a philosophy that has shaped icons across architecture, mobility, and art. Palazzo Tissoli represents the opportunity to bring this heritage to Ras Al Khaimah for the very first time.”
Calorio added, “Through this project, we are translating our Italian DNA into a living experience that mirrors both the natural beauty and the dynamic lifestyle of Al Marjan Island. Every detail has been conceived to offer residents not just a home, but an emotional journey into the essence of Italian design excellence.”
A Catalyst for RAK’s Luxury Real Estate Growth
As Ras Al Khaimah continues its rapid transformation into a regional tourism and investment hub, developments like Palazzo Tissoli Design by Pininfarina are helping define the emirate’s premium real estate identity. The project complements Al Marjan Island’s growing reputation as a coastal lifestyle destination, home to luxury hotels, branded residences, and waterfront retail.
With RAK’s planned Wynn Al Marjan Island resort and major hospitality investments underway, analysts see Palazzo Tissoli as a strategically timed addition that will capture both tourism-driven demand and high-end investor interest.
Perspective for Indian Investors
For Indian investors, Palazzo Tissoli Design by Pininfarina offers a unique opportunity to diversify beyond Dubai and into Ras Al Khaimah’s emerging luxury real estate market.
The emirate’s proximity to Dubai, tax-free investment framework, and increasing global recognition make it an attractive alternative for investors seeking both value and exclusivity. With starting prices at AED 1.1 million, the project provides access to Italian-branded luxury real estate in a market forecast to see significant capital appreciation over the next five years.
Indian buyers, who account for a substantial portion of foreign investments in the UAE property market, are likely to view Al Marjan Island as a strategic long-term investment, driven by its potential for rental yield and tourism-linked growth.
