Dh 3 billion Boris Becker Beach Resort & Tennis Academy being built in Ras Al Khaimah

Dubai: Tennis legend Boris Becker unveiled one of the region's most ambitious integrated luxury mega-resorts the Boris Becker Beach Resort & Tennis Academy partly owned by the former world champ himself.

Valued at a staggering Dh3 billion, this recreational and residential master-development includes premier holiday homes, world-class luxury resort and spa facilities, a five-star hotel, and a world-class Tennis Academy.

Strategically located at the entrance of Ras al Khaimah's lush Al Marjan Island, the sprawling 2.5 million square-foot project offers a rare dual oceanfront advantage, with the estate stretching from one end of isle's shore to the next.

A project of this scale and nature has never before been attempted and is attracting significant interest from global investors.

Aimed primarily at global investors in the top-end holiday-homes segment, the Boris Becker Beach Resort and Tennis Academy will offer a 'buy-to-use & lease" option prevalent across major investor holiday-home destinations across the globe.

Powered in part by solar energy, the Boris Becker Beach Resort and Tennis Academy is developed by Middle East Vision and brought to market by ACI Real Estate, the name behind some of the region's most prestigious iconic developments.

Becker who holds a fifty per cent partnership in the Academy, and part ownership in the rest of the Resort said that the mega-development holds significant meaning to him, both as an entrepreneur and a former tennis world number one.
