In a real-estate landscape increasingly defined by “live-work-play” ecosystems, ENTA Mina emerges as a standout, setting a new standard for integrated living in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK). Developed by RAK Properties in collaboration with HIVE and ARM Holding, the project addresses a shifting paradigm in residential design and lifestyle.

Location & Masterplan Context

ENTA Mina is located at Hayat Island, itself part of the broader Mina Al Arab waterfront community within Ras Al Khaimah.Mina Al Arab is characterised by protected mangroves, generous beachfronts and a vision for nature-integrated luxury living.

From a connectivity standpoint, Hayat Island enjoys the convenience of being approximately “45 minutes from Dubai” while offering a tranquil coastal setting.

What Makes ENTA Mina Unique

1. A Hybrid of Living + Working + Community

One of ENTA Mina’s most distinct features is its built-in co-working and flexible workspace environment for residents. The development includes over 2,000 m² of dedicated co-working space spanning three floors — hot desks, private offices, meeting rooms and breakout lounges are all part of the offering.

By doing this, the development is aligning with the rising trend of remote work, digital nomads, and flexible lifestyles — essentially blurring the lines between “home” and “office”. As HIVE’s CEO, Bass Ackermann, puts it:

“With ENTA Mina, we are introducing a new era of living … one that blends community, creativity and convenience within a fully managed, connected neighbourhood.”

2. Thoughtful Design & Amenity-Rich

With only 119 units (studios, one- and two-bedrooms) in the project, there is a boutique scale that enhances exclusivity.

The design ethos is modern, minimalist and oriented around nature and waterfront living — large balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows, minimalist finishes and a strong indoor-outdoor relationship.

In terms of amenities, ENTA Mina offers:

• Cold plunge pools & infrared saunas
• Outdoor cinema and yoga decks
• Waterfront promenade with café, concept store and flexible social zones
• Hosting lounge with chef’s kitchen
• Fitness centre and several communal event zones
  

These features reflect a move beyond simply providing a home — they address experience, community, wellness and work in one package.

3. Investment & Ownership Appeal

From a market-entry perspective: pricing for studios starts at AED 896,000.

Payment plans are structured to ease buying: standard 50/50, and special 35/65 options.

For investors and end-users alike, the combination of a strong brand (HIVE), a reputable developer (RAK Properties) and a novel lifestyle concept provides a compelling value proposition.

Why This Matters for Ras Al Khaimah

Ras Al Khaimah is in a phase of transformation — not just as a holiday-destination emirate, but as a place where longer-term residents, global citizens and remote workers are choosing to live. According to recently published data: RAK was ranked the world’s leading city for expatriates to “get started abroad” in the 2024 expatriate report.

The real-estate market in RAK is also experiencing strong capital appreciation — for example, apartment values in certain islands rose 13-17% year-on-year in Q3 2025.

In this context, ENTA Mina is not just another apartment project — it is symbolic of the shift in demand: individuals seeking more than four walls, looking for community, connectivity, flexibility and lifestyle.

Who is This For?

• Young professionals and entrepreneurs who work remotely or freelance — the built-in co-working spaces are a major draw.
• Design-conscious owners who value minimalist, modern finishes and a boutique scale.
• Investors looking for lifestyle assets that appeal to a growing market of globally mobile residents.
• Individuals wanting a waterfront setting without compromising on access to urban amenities.

Potential Considerations

• The hand-over for many units is scheduled for around Q1 2028 (as per official site) — meaning patience is required.
• If one is primarily seeking high immediate rental yields, it is important to analyse market rental levels in RAK and compare to Dubai and other emirates.
• As with any off-plan investment, the future quality of completion, developer delivery and long-term demand are important factors to monitor.

Final Thoughts

ENTA Mina represents a thoughtful leap in how residential living in Ras Al Khaimah can be conceived: not just living in a place, but living through a place — where your home, your work, your leisure all intertwine.

For the modern‐day resident who values flexibility, community, design and connection to nature, this project sets a high bar. It is less about simply buying property, and more about buying into a lifestyle.
