Studios to four-bedroom suites at Porto Playa, Hayat Island
Porto Playa is a beachfront residential building on Hayat Island in Ras Al Khaimah, built by Ellington Properties with RAK Properties. Ellington's project brief names it Ellington's first venture in the emirate. The building has a ground floor, a mezzanine and eight residential floors, with layered terraces. The plot is 189 by 100 m, 20,365 sq m.
Fourteen typical layouts. Ellington's typical floor plans draw a studio, a one-bedroom, six two-bedroom layouts, two three-bedroom layouts and three premium homes: a two-bedroom townhouse, a three-bedroom villa and a four-bedroom presidential suite. Each plan states an internal living area, an outdoor living area and a total living area.
A private beach. Ellington describes a stretch of Hayat Island's shoreline reserved for residents, with a beach club, a beach volleyball area and pebble seating, beside an infinity-edge pool and a walk-in pool.
Sea views. Ellington's project brief says the building was shaped so that views of the sea open from the back and sides from 9 metres up.
