Oman’s $600-million mixed-used development Saraya Bandar Jissah is set to house its first residents early next year.

Being developed by Omran, the tourism development and investment arm of Oman, the project spans 2.2 sq km and will offer residential units, recreational facilities and two beachfront luxury hotels – a resort hotel and a boutique hotel.

The first phase of the project includes 224 properties in three separate residential zones, and two five-star hotels, to be run by The Jumeirah Group.

The first hotel will have 206 guest rooms as well as a conference hall overlooking the beachfront, along with VIP chalets and a dive centre. The second hotel will house 112 chalets offering three authentic experiences. The lower levels will highlight the unique marine experience of the sultanate, while the second level will highlight the agricultural oasis that the sultanate is famed for. The top level will highlight the mountainous landscape and culture, thus blending all the lifestyles of the sultanate.

The project will also have three housing sections and 33 villas on Namir Island, which is centrally located. Each villa hosts its own private swimming pool. The three-bedroom villas will be built on 427 sq m of space while four-bedroom villas will be built on a 498-sq-m area.

The second residential section will host 169 villas and apartments – two-bedroom flats of 200 sq m and three-bedroom units of 351 sq m overlooking the gardens and the ocean.

The third housing section will host 22 villas with views of the ocean and the mountains. Each housing unit covers a spacious 750-sq-m area.
