The Beachfront | As Sifah | Oman

The Beachfront is Muriya’s residential community within Jebel Sifah, a marina-and-golf resort destination in Muscat on the As Sifah coast. Developed by Muriya — a partnership between Orascom Development Holding and Oman’s state tourism developer OMRAN — The Beachfront offers 118 residences across villas, townhouses, simplex apartments and studios, with Phase 1 having sold out and Phase 2 now available, priced from OMR 55,000 (approximately USD 143,000) on full freehold title.

About The Beachfront

The Beachfront comprises 118 residences, including one-bedroom duplex villas, detached villas with two or three bedrooms, one-bedroom townhouses, one- and two-bedroom simplex apartments, and studios, with property sizes ranging from 40 to 162 square metres. Residences are presented in two architectural styles — modern and classic — with villas equipped with private pools and spacious rooftop terraces offering views across the surrounding landscape and coastline.

A Sold-Out First Phase

The Beachfront’s first phase sold out, after which Muriya launched a second phase. Phase 2 units are now available to buyers considering the community.

Location: Jebel Sifah, As Sifah

The Beachfront sits within Jebel Sifah, Muscat’s Harradine-designed golf-and-marina resort community on the As Sifah coast, roughly an hour’s drive from Muscat International Airport and central Muscat. This places residents within reach of Oman’s capital attractions — Al Alam Palace, Mutrah Souq, Bait Al Zubair Museum and Qurum Beach — while enjoying Jebel Sifah’s own resort-scale infrastructure.

Unit Types, Sizes and Pricing

As of the most recent published pricing, apartments at The Beachfront start from OMR 55,000 (approximately USD 143,000), townhouses start from OMR 62,500 (approximately USD 162,000), and villas start from OMR 151,000 (approximately USD 393,000). Property sizes span 40 to 162 square metres across the community’s mix of studios, simplex apartments, townhouses and villas, giving buyers a range of budgets and formats to choose from within a single development.

Payment Plan

The Beachfront is offered with the possibility of a 10% down payment and an instalment plan of up to four years, giving buyers an entry structure for a freehold resort community. Current payment terms are available directly from UInvest.

Ownership, Freehold Status and Residency

The Beachfront offers freehold ownership with residency available for citizens of all nationalities. A qualifying purchase supports an Investor Residency Card application and the sponsor-free Owner Visa, which has no minimum value. Oman’s 10-year Golden Residency is a separate route requiring a single ITC property worth at least OMR 200,000 (about USD 520,160). The decision is made by the Royal Oman Police. Apartments from OMR 55,000, townhouses from OMR 62,500 and villas from OMR 151,000 are priced below OMR 200,000, while a villa priced at or above OMR 200,000 meets the threshold; specific villa pricing is available from Muriya.

Why Invest in The Beachfront

The Beachfront combines a first phase that has sold out, a range of unit types and price points, and access to Jebel Sifah’s resort infrastructure — golf course, marina, boutique hotel and beach — within a single community. For buyers considering a beachfront address within Jebel Sifah, The Beachfront is one of the destination’s residential options.

The Developer: Muriya

Muriya is a joint venture between Orascom Development Holding — an internationally listed developer with resort and residential projects across Egypt and the wider region — and OMRAN, Oman’s state tourism development company. Beyond The Beachfront, Muriya is also behind Amazi at Hawana Salalah, giving the company projects across two of Oman’s freehold resort masterplans.

Amenities and Lifestyle

Property buyers at The Beachfront enjoy access to a golf course designed by Harradine, a modern marina with a yacht jetty, a boutique hotel and restaurants, alongside the community’s own children’s playground and promenade. This breadth of amenity access — golf, marina, hospitality and family-oriented facilities — forms part of The Beachfront’s resort setting.

Local Infrastructure and Social Amenities

The Beachfront is surrounded by shops, schools and other social infrastructure, with SPAR Al Sifah supermarket nearby and, within a 15-minute radius, As Sifah Health Center, Sifah Basic Education School for girls (grades 1–12), and As Sifah Central Mosque. This existing local infrastructure gives The Beachfront a practical, family-oriented setting.

Villas with Private Pools and Rooftop Terraces

The Beachfront’s detached and duplex villas include private pools and spacious rooftop terraces, giving villa buyers outdoor living space and views across the surrounding landscape and coastline. For buyers prioritising private outdoor amenities over shared community facilities alone, these features are specific to the villas rather than the community’s apartment and townhouse product.

Step-by-Step: How to Buy at The Beachfront

Purchasing follows Oman’s standard freehold ITC process: a reservation agreement and 10% down payment secure the chosen unit and pricing, followed by the full Sale and Purchase Agreement setting out the instalment structure over up to four years, specification and handover date. Instalments follow through to handover, after which buyers are invited to a snagging inspection before final acceptance and title registration with Oman’s Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning. Buyers pursuing the Golden Residency typically begin that process once title registration is complete.

What to Prepare When Reserving

When reserving a unit at The Beachfront, a buyer normally receives or confirms the current pricing and availability for the preferred unit type within Phase 2, the reservation agreement, the Sale and Purchase Agreement with the instalment schedule across the up-to-four-year plan and the target handover date, the escrow account details, the service charge schedule, the Golden Residency threshold where relevant, and the construction status of the specific building or villa cluster. UInvest takes buyers through these items ahead of signing.

Financing Considerations

Buyers at The Beachfront can choose between Muriya’s own instalment-based payment plan — a 10% down payment with balance spread over up to four years — or a mortgage from a bank operating in Oman that offers financing to non-resident freehold buyers within designated ITCs. Current financing terms are available directly from UInvest.

Furnishing and Rental Management

Owners intending to let their Beachfront unit typically engage a local property management company to handle furnishing, listing, tenant turnover and maintenance. Given Jebel Sifah’s golf, marina and resort tourism draw, units here can be used for both holiday letting and longer-term rental, alongside the destination’s amenity base.

Off-Plan Buyer Protections

Off-plan sales within Oman’s designated ITCs, including Jebel Sifah, operate under a regulated escrow framework: buyer instalments for a project under construction are held in a dedicated project escrow account, with funds released against verified construction milestones rather than paid directly to the developer up front. Buyers should confirm the specific escrow arrangement named in their Sale and Purchase Agreement and can request construction progress updates from UInvest at any stage ahead of handover.

Currency and Payment Notes

The Beachfront is priced in Omani Rial, with figures also quoted in AED and US Dollars. The Omani Rial has been pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed rate since 1986, which keeps conversions stable for buyers converting from USD, AED or other Dollar-pegged Gulf currencies over the life of a multi-year payment plan.

Service Charges and Community Governance

As part of Jebel Sifah, The Beachfront will operate under an owners’ association responsible for maintaining shared infrastructure — the promenade, children’s playground and community facilities — funded through an annual service charge set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, alongside Jebel Sifah’s own wider community charges covering the golf course, marina and boutique hotel infrastructure. Buyers should confirm the current combined service charge rate directly with UInvest before signing.

The Beachfront vs Other Jebel Sifah Residential Options

Within Jebel Sifah’s wider freehold offering, The Beachfront is a dedicated 118-unit community with dual modern-and-classic architectural styles, and villa-specific private pools and rooftop terraces. Buyers comparing The Beachfront against other Jebel Sifah residential options should weigh its specific unit mix and first-phase sell-through against alternatives within the same wider golf-and-marina destination.

Salalah and Muscat Resort Markets Compared

Compared with Amazi at Hawana Salalah — also developed by Muriya — The Beachfront offers a Muscat-area location roughly an hour from the capital and airport, against Amazi’s Salalah setting with its khareef-season tourism draw. Buyers weighing the two Muriya destinations should consider whether year-round Muscat-area accessibility or Salalah’s seasonal appeal better matches their investment and lifestyle priorities.

Rental Yields and Ongoing Costs

Jebel Sifah’s golf-and-marina tourism draw is relevant to rental demand across its residential offering, including The Beachfront. For broader context on Oman’s freehold rental market, see our guide to rental yields in Oman, and factor in the absence of recurring property tax that applies across all of Oman’s freehold developments, including The Beachfront.

Is 2026 a Good Time to Buy at The Beachfront?

With Phase 1 sold out and Phase 2 now available, buyers reserving now are entering a community whose first phase has sold out, within a Muscat resort destination. For a broader view of market timing across Oman’s freehold sector, see our guide on whether 2026 is a good time to buy property in Oman, and our dedicated guide to Jebel Sifah for broader context on the wider destination.

Who Should Consider The Beachfront

The Beachfront suits buyers and investors seeking a resort community within Jebel Sifah whose first phase has sold out, combined with a range of unit types and price points and access to a Harradine-designed golf course, marina and boutique hotel. It particularly suits buyers prioritising Muscat-area accessibility — roughly an hour from the capital — over Salalah’s more distant, seasonal resort setting.

Construction Progress and Reporting

UInvest maintains contact with Muriya’s sales and project teams and can provide buyers with current construction progress updates, photography and any specification changes for Phase 2 units ahead of each instalment due date under the payment plan, helping off-plan buyers track delivery through to handover.

Getting to The Beachfront: Access and Connectivity

The Beachfront is located an hour’s drive from Muscat International Airport and central Muscat, giving residents access to the capital’s attractions — Al Alam Palace, Mutrah Souq, Bait Al Zubair Museum and Qurum Beach — while enjoying Jebel Sifah’s own resort setting. Buyers should confirm current travel times directly with UInvest.

Resale Market and Liquidity

Phase 1 of The Beachfront is fully sold out. Current resale transaction data is available directly from UInvest.

Comparing Unit Types at The Beachfront

Studios and simplex apartments suit buyers and investors prioritising entry price within The Beachfront, from OMR 55,000, while townhouses from OMR 62,500 and villas from OMR 151,000 suit families wanting more space, private pools and rooftop terraces. Buyers should compare specific unit type pricing directly with UInvest, since the full range spans a wider budget range than the entry apartment price point alone suggests.

Modern and Classic Architectural Styles

The Beachfront’s dual architectural approach — modern and classic — gives buyers a choice of design within a single community. This variety supports a visually varied streetscape while maintaining the overall resort character of the wider Jebel Sifah destination.

Buying Into a Multi-Phase Community

The Beachfront is being delivered across multiple phases. For a Phase 2 unit, UInvest can provide the buildings and villa clusters included in the current phase, the target handover date for that phase, and how service charges and community governance are structured across both phases.

Snagging and Handover Inspection

Ahead of final acceptance, Phase 2 buyers at The Beachfront are invited to a snagging inspection where any finishing defects — from paintwork and tiling to fixtures and fittings — are logged and corrected by Muriya before handover is formally completed. Non-resident owners should plan for this stage in advance, either by coordinating a personal visit to Oman or appointing a local representative to attend the inspection on their behalf.

Currency Peg and Cross-Border Buyers

For international buyers converting from Gulf currencies such as the UAE Dirham, Saudi Riyal or Qatari Riyal, the Omani Rial’s long-standing peg to the US Dollar keeps the exchange rate fixed across the full duration of a multi-year payment plan at The Beachfront, giving buyers budgeting certainty from reservation through to handover.

Jebel Sifah’s Golf and Marina Ecosystem

Jebel Sifah’s Harradine-designed golf course and modern marina with yacht jetty give The Beachfront’s residents access to two recreational anchors within the same destination — a nine-hole coastal course and a fully functioning marina supporting yacht ownership and berthing. This combination of golf and marina infrastructure, alongside a boutique hotel and restaurants, forms Jebel Sifah’s resort ecosystem, with a marina-and-golf offering of the kind also found at Al Mouj in Muscat.

Orascom Development Holding’s Track Record

Orascom Development Holding, Muriya’s international development partner, is a publicly listed company with a portfolio of resort and residential developments across Egypt and the wider region, including destinations such as El Gouna. This international resort development experience, combined with OMRAN’s local government backing, stands behind The Beachfront, whose entire first phase sold out before a second was launched.

Family Infrastructure and Everyday Convenience

The Beachfront’s proximity to SPAR Al Sifah supermarket, As Sifah Health Center, Sifah Basic Education School for girls and As Sifah Central Mosque — all within a 15-minute radius — gives the community a practical, everyday-living character beyond its resort amenities alone. For families considering a primary or long-stay residence rather than a purely holiday property, this existing local infrastructure supports everyday living.

Weekend and Second-Home Appeal

For Muscat-based buyers, The Beachfront’s roughly one-hour drive from the capital makes it a practical weekend or second-home option, offering a change of pace within Jebel Sifah’s golf-and-marina setting without requiring a longer journey to Salalah or other more distant coastal destinations. For Muscat residents specifically seeking a nearby coastal retreat, the roughly one-hour drive to Jebel Sifah is shorter than the journey to Hawana Salalah.

Comparing The Beachfront’s Villas and Apartments

The Beachfront’s one-bedroom duplex villas and two- to three-bedroom detached villas — complete with private pools and rooftop terraces — sit in the community’s higher price range, suiting families and buyers seeking larger private living space. Studios and one- to two-bedroom simplex apartments, starting from OMR 55,000, suit investors and buyers prioritising entry price, while one-bedroom townhouses from OMR 62,500 offer a middle-ground option combining more space than an apartment with a lower price point than a full villa.

Price Per Square Metre in Context

The Beachfront starts from OMR 55,000 for apartments, OMR 62,500 for townhouses and OMR 151,000 for villas, across properties of 40 to 162 square metres. Its golf-and-marina setting within Jebel Sifah is of the same kind as Al Mouj’s, and its first phase has sold out.

Living at The Beachfront: What Owners Should Know

Owning at The Beachfront means joining an existing resort community, with Phase 1 residents having lived alongside the destination’s golf course, marina and boutique hotel for several years by the time Phase 2 buyers take possession of their units. This means Phase 2 buyers move into a community with operating amenities.

Muscat’s Freehold Resort Communities Compared

Compared with Al Mouj’s marina-and-golf community in central Muscat, The Beachfront offers a 118-unit resort setting within Jebel Sifah, roughly an hour further from the capital. Buyers can weigh Al Mouj’s scale and urban infrastructure against Jebel Sifah’s resort-focused, golf-and-marina lifestyle setting when choosing between Muscat’s freehold destinations.

Boutique Hotel and Hospitality Infrastructure

Jebel Sifah’s boutique hotel and restaurants give The Beachfront’s residents access to dining and guest accommodation without leaving the community, useful both for entertaining visiting family and friends and for supporting the destination’s broader tourism and short-let rental appeal. This hospitality layer, sitting alongside the golf course and marina, is part of Jebel Sifah’s resort ecosystem.

Other Jebel Sifah Developments

The Beachfront is one of several freehold releases within Jebel Sifah. Buyers comparing options within the same destination should also consider:
