ROI view
The investment case
Strengths
- Co-developed by OMRAN, Oman’s state tourism development company, with Eagle Hills
- Dramatic natural setting between mountains and sea
- Hotel operations support holiday-let demand
Risks to weigh
- A resort location away from the main residential and business districts of Seeb and Bawshar, which narrows the long-let tenant pool
- Release-by-release pricing; ask for the price history of earlier phases
- Confirm which units are serviced or in a rental pool, and the fee terms
Who it suits: Lifestyle buyers and holiday-let investors comfortable with a resort location.
Our view is independent analysis, not a recommendation to buy. Take independent legal and tax advice before committing.
