AIDA by DarGlobal, Yiti — Villas & Branded Residences with Trump Golf in Muscat, Oman

AIDA Oman by DarGlobal: A Cliff-Top City Above the Gulf of Oman, From OMR 126,800

AIDA Oman, also searched for as AIDA Muscat, is a master-planned community at Yiti, east of Muscat, set on cliffs 130 metres above sea level according to the current brochure. It is being developed by DarGlobal (Dar Global, the London-listed developer) as a joint venture with Omran Group, Oman’s tourism development company, and the developer describes it as “an exclusive city within a city” of more than 4.3 million square metres.

The brochure says buyers from over 60 nationalities have already invested. Around the golf course, the beach and the hotel sit several separate collections of homes: attached villas, standalone golf and oceanfront villas, branded Marriott Residences and The Great Escape apartments, which have their own page on our site.

This page is built on unit-by-unit price lists from DarGlobal for six collections, 105 priced homes in all.

Prices on the new lists run from OMR 126,800 (about $329,781) for a three-bedroom attached villa in the Amour Sans Détour cluster to OMR 1,956,710 (about $5.09 million) for an oceanfront villa by Fendi Casa. That is a 15-fold spread inside one address, and this page is meant to help you work out which part of it you are actually buying.

Every figure below comes from the developer’s price lists and brochure unless we say otherwise. Prices are in Omani rials, converted to dollars at the peg of 2.6008 and rounded.

AIDA by DarGlobal at a Glance

The Six Collections Compared

The developer’s masterplan groups AIDA’s homes into standalone villas (Trump Golf Villas and Fairway Villas), attached villas (Coastal Investment Villas, Sunrise Haven and Amour Sans Détour) and apartments (The Great Escape 1 and 2, and Marriott Residences). The price lists we hold cover five of those names plus the Fendi Casa oceanfront villas, which the brochure’s masterplan does not show as a separate group. The table gives the range in each list.

The brochure also markets homes that are not on any list we received: Trump Cliff Villas (fully furnished three-bedroom villas to own or lease, managed by Trump), Sunrise Haven Villas (furnished three-bedroom villas, “ready to list on Airbnb and Doormat”), Marriott Residences in two- and three-bedroom sizes, hotel rooms in Trump International Hotel and the Trump Hotels Hanging Suites. Ask for prices and availability for those separately; none appears in this page’s figures.

Price Per Square Foot, Collection by Collection

The lists give built-up area in square feet, so a rate per square foot is a direct way to compare them. In every case it is the price divided by the built-up area, not the plot.

Three things stand out. The first is the rate for the attached villas: at about $336 per square foot the Amour Sans Détour three-bedroom compares with about $514 to $561 for the Marriott one-bedroom apartments and about $430 to $573 for the standalone golf villas. The second is how little the standalone golf villas vary: Fairway and Trump villas of similar size sit within a band of roughly $430 to $573 per foot, and the extra for the Trump name works out at roughly 16% over the larger Fairway V41A and about 25% over the V41.

The third is the Fendi Casa premium: at roughly $1,150 per foot, the oceanfront villas cost about twice a Trump Golf Villa per foot, which is the price of the sea and the design brand and not of the land: the Fendi plots (4,378 to 5,462 sq ft) are no larger than the Fairway ones (4,650 to 6,432).

For a sense of scale within our own Yiti coverage, our listing of The Great Escape, AIDA apartments sits at roughly $325 to $416 per square foot, and The Sustainable City Yiti at about $343 for a studio. The Amour Sans Détour rate of about $336 sits in the same range as those apartments, which is the point: the Amour Sans Détour homes are priced per foot like apartments, and the standalone villas are priced like villas.

Amour Sans Détour: Attached Villas

Amour Sans Détour is the attached-villa cluster, with prices from OMR 126,800 on the lists. The developer describes it as three-bedroom villas “designed with clean lines, natural light and functional spaces”, with outdoor space that the owner can shape as a dining area, entertainment hub or retreat, and a design aimed at short-term rental. The lists show 51 unfurnished villas in two types.

The V10MS is a flat-price product: all 31 units are listed at exactly OMR 126,800 regardless of position, while the 20 V10ES units are priced between OMR 140,260 and OMR 152,960. The price generally steps up with plot size, with the 2,052 sq ft plot of unit 220 at OMR 152,960, but not strictly: unit 153 on a 1,474 sq ft plot is listed at OMR 152,630, almost as much. A three-bedroom villa of 983 square feet is about 91 square metres of built-up area.

Marriott Residences: Branded Apartments

The Marriott Residences list covers 26 one-bedroom apartments in Building A, from floor 2 to floor 9, at OMR 139,200 to OMR 193,570. The brochure describes the Marriott homes as fully furnished one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with à la carte services, concierge and valet. Only the one-bedrooms are on our list.

The list prices follow a visible formula. On a plain golf view the rate rises by about OMR 0.6 per square foot for each floor, from OMR 197.5 on the second floor to OMR 201.7 on the ninth, which is only about 2% over seven floors. The real premium is the view: the five partial-sea-view units are priced at OMR 213.5 to 215.9 per square foot, about OMR 15 or 7.5% above a golf-view unit on the same floor.

In other words a higher floor costs very little extra at Marriott, and a glimpse of the sea costs a lot, which is worth knowing before you pay for height. Because the brand supplies the services, ask for the service-charge schedule and the rental programme terms before you compare these homes with the unbranded villas.

The Standalone Villas

The standalone villas are the large detached homes beside the golf course and on the cliff: Fairway Villas (four and five bedrooms, marketed under AIDA Oceana), Trump Golf Villas (five bedrooms, on the championship course, with a branded golf cart among the perks the brochure lists) and the Azure Oceanfront Villas by Fendi Casa. The lists show built-up area, plot area and price for each unit.

Within a type, the list prices differ from unit to unit. Among the six V41A Fairway five-bedrooms, three are priced at OMR 771,240 and the others at OMR 792,670, 814,090 and 822,660, and the unit at OMR 822,660 has a plot of 5,435 sq ft against 4,764 for a unit at OMR 771,240. Among the V41 Fairway villas, OC-V41-1211, with a plot of 6,432 sq ft, is listed at OMR 710,010, against OMR 686,900 for the identical house on a plot of 4,650.

On the V41 pair that works out at roughly OMR 13 per square foot of extra plot, but the V41A gap is far steeper (OMR 51,420 for 671 more square feet), so position and view are evidently priced as well as land. Both are numbers you can use when you negotiate between two units of one type. The Trump Golf units show the same pattern, with the “sea and cliff” unit, TR-V41TM-1139, at OMR 962,150 and the “sea and golf” units at OMR 903,320.

The Fendi Casa villas are listed at “sea” view, at OMR 1,618,700 to 1,956,710. The lists name Fendi Casa as the design brand for this collection.

Reading the Unit Codes

Every unit on the lists has a code, and the codes carry information if you know how to read them. This is our reading of the pattern.

The type numbers appear to refer to a design family: V33 is a four-bedroom shell of about 3,400 to 3,600 sq ft and V41 a five-bedroom of about 4,200 to 4,400 sq ft across three collections, with letters marking variants.

It would follow that a Fairway, a Trump and a Fendi Casa villa of the same family share a footprint and differ in finish, view and brand, and that the price differences between them are a price for those things. The specification differences between the variants can be requested from the developer, since that is where the premium lives.

Which Home for Which Buyer

The right collection depends on what you are buying AIDA for, and the price lists make the choice clear.

A buyer who wants a holiday home and some rental income is likely to be looking at the first two rows. A buyer who wants a family house with a garden and a golf club is looking at the Fairway and Trump villas. The Fendi Casa villas are priced in a separate range: at about $4.2 to $5.1 million, against about $0.33 to $2.5 million for the other collections on the lists.

Reservation, Payment Plan and Running Costs

Every unit on every list carries the same OMR 4,000 token amount (about $10,403). DarGlobal’s published villa payment plan is 20% on booking, then 10% at six, twelve and twenty-four months, and 50% on completion, with completions phased between Q1 2027 and Q4 2028 per the developer.

DarGlobal’s published material gives the service charge as AED 40 per square foot for villas and AED 10 for apartments, billed in dirhams.

Our guide to service charges in Oman sets out how they are structured. Request the service charge schedule per collection, in the billing currency, with the period stated.

Residency and Ownership: What the Prices Mean

AIDA is sold freehold to buyers of any nationality, as our guide to freehold property in Oman explains, and you should read the title wording in the sale and purchase agreement for your plot.

Oman’s 10-year Golden Residency requires real estate in an Integrated Tourism Complex worth at least OMR 200,000 in a single property, and the sponsor-free Owner Visa has no minimum value. Our guide to Golden Residency and the Owner Visa sets out both. Against that threshold the lists give a clear split:

Prices on the Amour Sans Détour and Marriott Residences lists are below OMR 200,000, and every standalone villa is priced at or above it. Golden Residency applications are decided by the Royal Oman Police.

Our guide to property tax in Oman covers the taxes that apply to property buyers.

The Amenities

The brochure sorts the amenities into groups, with some for owners and some for club members.

The brochure’s reasons to invest list a “social membership” of Trump International Golf Club, and its golf-club page says that applications are open to AIDA owners and to external guests.

The tier, duration, annual dues and transferability of the membership can be requested from the developer. Our guide to who builds property in Oman covers the other developers active in the market.

The brochure’s map marks the Nikki Beach Resort and Spa as “upcoming”, and the Trump International Hotel and Hanging Suites are presented as part of the programme.

Location and Drive Times

AIDA sits on the coast between Muscat Bay and Yenkit. The brochure’s map gives these times, which we read as minutes by car.

Drive times depend on the route and the time of day, particularly if you plan to rent the home out.

The brochure lists supermarkets among the planned amenities.

Who Is Behind AIDA Oman: Dar Global and Omran Group

Two organisations stand behind the project, and it helps to know which is which. Dar Global, the London-listed developer that trades as DarGlobal, is the commercial developer and the company that brings the Trump, Marriott and Fendi Casa brands to the community. Omran Group, which Dar Global describes as Oman’s primary organisation for tourism development, is its joint-venture partner.

Dar Global said so in a June 2024 press release announcing the first construction contract. The Omani partner ties the community to Oman’s own tourism and land programme. The selling entity, the landholder and the escrow account are set out in the sale and purchase agreement.

The same release gives a useful marker of progress. In June 2024 the infrastructure contract for AIDA Phase 1 was awarded to Oman Shapoorji Company LLC at a value of OMR 9,345,653 (about $24.3 million), covering roads, water and electricity networks, utilities, drainage and sewage, and the road network around the site, and the developer said Phase 1 was set for completion in 2027.

Current site photographs and the construction programme for each collection can be requested from the developer. The developer’s own AIDA page is the place to register interest directly.

The Developer: DarGlobal

The brochure describes DarGlobal PLC as an international developer of luxury residential projects, listed on the London Stock Exchange, with a presence in 14 cities across seven countries (the United Kingdom, Spain, the Maldives, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman and Qatar) and sales offices that include one at the Royal Opera House Muscat. It says the company has partnered with more than ten luxury brands, among them Trump Organization, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, ELIE SAAB, Marriott Residences, Missoni, Mouawad, Pagani, W Hotels and Versace.

The sale and purchase agreement names the legal entity that signs it and the escrow account where payments are held. Our guide to Oman’s Real Estate Law 79/2025 explains the escrow and registration protections for off-plan buyers.

Paying in Rials From Abroad

The price lists are in Omani rials, which are pegged to the US dollar.

Our guide to the Omani rial peg explains how it works, with a 36-month instalment simulation. If you are financing any part of the purchase, see mortgage in Oman for foreigners; the brochure mentions an “exclusive mortgage programme” for resident and non-resident buyers.

Rental and Resale

The brochure’s pitch is short-term rental. It says the homes are “approved for short-term rentals” on platforms such as Airbnb and Doormat, and the Amour Sans Détour and Sunrise Haven homes are described as designed for it. The Trump Cliff Villas are offered to own or lease with management by Trump.

Model seasonal occupancy, deduct management fees, and deduct the service charge. Our guide to rental yields in Oman and our guide to renting out an Oman property from abroad cover the costs between gross rent and what reaches your account. On exit, see selling property in Oman.

AIDA Alongside Other Yiti and Muscat Projects

At AIDA the lists cover attached villas, apartments and standalone villas within one community with a golf club, a hotel and a beach. For the wider choice, see our guide to the best areas to invest in Oman.

Using the Lists to Negotiate

A unit-by-unit price list is a negotiating tool if you read it closely. Within a type, the lists show where the developer is flat and where it is not. Amour Sans Détour V10MS is flat at OMR 126,800, so there is no price reason to prefer one plot over another, and you should choose by position and by what is built around it.

At Marriott the floor premium is nearly nothing and the sea-view premium is about 7.5%, so at Marriott it is the view, more than the floor, that moves the price. In the Fairway and Trump villas the plot and the view move the price, which means two houses of the same type can be OMR 50,000 or more apart, and the question to ask is whether the difference is worth it to you.

Finally, the lists give a token of OMR 4,000 for every unit, which is small next to the price. The sale and purchase agreement sets the terms that follow, including the escrow and the milestone certification. Our guide to Oman payment plans shows the structures developers in Oman use.
