Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange-listed RAK Properties has announced plans to expand its hospitality and dining portfolio at Mina, its flagship waterfront development in Ras Al Khaimah, with three new restaurant openings scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. Tashas, Hunter & Barrel and Antonia will join the destination’s growing collection of food and beverage outlets, following the openings of Bar Du Port Beach and Ladurée earlier this year.
Premium café concept Tashas, founded by Natasha Sideris, will open its first Ras Al Khaimah location at Mina during Q4 2026. The beachfront venue will offer its established menu alongside Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Australian-born steakhouse Hunter & Barrel is also scheduled to open on Hayat Island during the quarter, featuring premium steaks and seafood in a setting inspired by Ras Al Khaimah’s historic Dhayah Fort.
Homegrown Italian restaurant Antonia is scheduled to open at Mina in December 2026, marking its sixth location. Established in Abu Dhabi in 2021, the brand has expanded across Abu Dhabi and Dubai and is known for its Roman-style pizzas, pasta and traditional Italian dishes. The three openings will further diversify Mina’s dining options for residents, homeowners and visitors.
The expansion forms part of RAK Properties’ long-term strategy to develop Mina into an integrated waterfront community combining residential properties, branded residences, hospitality, retail and lifestyle facilities. Chief Executive Officer Sameh Muhtadi highlighted the importance of attracting premium dining concepts that strengthen the destination’s social infrastructure and support its appeal to homebuyers, investors and visitors.
Mina already features two established luxury resorts, including the 351-key InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Resort and Spa on Hayat Island and the 174-key Anantara Mina Hotel & Resort. Both properties operate multiple dining venues, complementing the destination’s expanding hospitality offering.
The planned openings reflect RAK Properties’ continued investment in enhancing Mina’s lifestyle infrastructure alongside its residential and hospitality developments. The announcement did not disclose the investment value, commercial terms or expected financial contribution associated with the new restaurant openings.
