Description

AIDA is a hilltop resort community in Muscat, developed by Dar Global in partnership with Oman’s OMRAN Group, and home to Trump International Golf Club, Oman — the first Trump-branded golf development in the Gulf. Perched roughly 100 metres above the Gulf of Oman, AIDA spans almost 3.5 million square metres, offering attached villas, standalone villas and mansions from USD 353,000 up to over USD 8 million, on full freehold title with qualifying purchases eligible for Oman’s 10-year Golden Residency.

About AIDA

AIDA is described by its developer as a unique community in the Sultanate of Oman, combining the atmosphere of the Maldives, the beaches of the Seychelles and the allure of the French Riviera. Set among breathtaking landscapes, sharp cliffs, winding valleys and varied altitudes 100 metres above the sea, the project covers almost 37.67 million square feet (roughly 3.5 million square metres) and offers a range of luxurious three- to seven-bedroom villas and mansions.

Trump International Golf Club, Oman

AIDA is home to Trump International Golf Club, Oman, developed with the Trump Organization as the first Trump-branded golf project in the Gulf, part of a reported USD 4 billion agreement between Dar Al Arkan (Dar Global’s parent company) and the Trump Organisation. The golf resort component includes an 18-hole championship course, a 140-key luxury resort, a members-only club, a golf academy and a Cliff Hanging Night Club, with Trump International Oman scheduled to open in December 2028.

Construction Timeline and Financing

AIDA’s first phase, covering critical infrastructure, is targeted for completion by 2027, with the wider Trump International Oman resort and golf club opening set for December 2028. In early 2026, the project secured major financing from the National Bank of Oman, accelerating construction momentum toward these targets. Buyers should request current, verified construction progress directly from UInvest given the project’s multi-year, phased delivery timeline.

Location: 100 Metres Above the Gulf of Oman

AIDA is located in Muscat, just 10 minutes from Downtown Muscat and within driving distance of Oman’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Bahla Fort. Nearby attractions include Bandar Al Khairan and Wadi Lake, roughly 20 minutes away; Yitti Beach, roughly 25 minutes away; and Qantab Mountain, roughly 30 minutes away, giving residents a genuinely central Muscat location despite the development’s elevated, cliffside setting.

Unit Types, Sizes and Pricing

AIDA offers three residential tiers. Attached villas with three bedrooms start from 1,300 square feet (120 square metres), priced from AED 1.3 million (approximately EUR 330,000, USD 353,000). Standalone villas with four bedrooms start from 4,133 square feet (384 square metres), priced from AED 7 million (approximately EUR 1.7 million, USD 1.9 million). Mansions with six or seven bedrooms span 19,302 square feet (1,794 square metres), priced between AED 25 million and AED 30 million (approximately EUR 6.3–7.6 million, USD 6.8–8.1 million).

Payment Plan

AIDA is offered with a staged payment plan; buyers should contact UInvest for the current developer schedule and deposit terms, since payment structures at this price tier are often negotiated individually depending on unit type and buyer profile.

Ownership, Freehold Status and Residency

AIDA offers full freehold ownership to buyers of any nationality, with zero annual property tax across Oman’s freehold market. A qualifying purchase of OMR 200,000 (approximately USD 520,000) or more can secure a renewable 10-year residency for the buyer and family through Oman’s Golden Residency programme, applied for through the official Invest Oman platform.

Why Invest in AIDA

AIDA offers a combination unmatched elsewhere in Oman’s freehold market: the region’s first Trump-branded golf development, a genuinely dramatic hilltop setting 100 metres above the Gulf of Oman, and a price range spanning from a relatively accessible entry-level attached villa through to multi-million-dollar mansions. As the site of one of the Gulf’s highest-profile branded golf resorts, AIDA is positioned as one of Muscat’s most talked-about freehold addresses, appealing to buyers specifically seeking prestige and brand recognition alongside investment fundamentals.

The Developer: Dar Global and OMRAN

Dar Global is the international development arm of Dar Al Arkan, one of Saudi Arabia’s largest listed real estate developers, bringing substantial regional development experience and capital to AIDA. Partnering with OMRAN, Oman’s state tourism development company, and the Trump Organization for the golf and resort component, AIDA combines three distinct sources of institutional backing rarely found together in a single Oman freehold project.

Amenities and Lifestyle

Residents of AIDA will have access to wellness centres, running trails, mountain bike and hiking trails, promenades and a fitness centre, set against the development’s dramatic cliffside landscape. All villa owners become members of an exclusive club offering gourmet dining opportunities, first-class service and a rich calendar of social events, alongside access to Trump International Golf Club’s own members-only facilities, golf academy and Cliff Hanging Night Club once completed.

Nearby Five-Star Hospitality

Several five-star hotel brands are planned in AIDA’s vicinity, including Ritz-Carlton, Jumeirah Hotels and Shangri-La, giving the development access to an exceptionally dense cluster of luxury hospitality infrastructure once fully delivered. This concentration of internationally recognised hotel brands alongside the Trump-branded golf resort positions AIDA’s surrounding area as one of the most ambitious luxury hospitality clusters currently being developed in Oman.

Off-Plan Buyer Due Diligence

Given AIDA’s substantial price points and multi-year delivery timeline through to the Trump International Oman’s December 2028 opening, buyers should review the full Sale and Purchase Agreement in particular detail, covering the payment schedule, specification list, target handover date for their specific unit and phase, and any resale or cancellation clauses. Buyers should also request Dar Global’s current, verified construction progress reporting, given the scale and complexity of the wider AIDA and Trump International Oman development.

Step-by-Step: How to Buy at AIDA

Purchasing follows Oman’s standard freehold ITC process: a reservation agreement and initial deposit secure the chosen unit and pricing, followed by the full Sale and Purchase Agreement setting out the staged payment structure, 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.

Buyer Checklist Before Reserving

Before committing to a unit at AIDA, buyers should confirm current pricing and availability for their preferred villa or mansion tier, the exact staged payment schedule and deposit terms, the target handover date for their specific phase, whether the purchase clears Oman’s Golden Residency threshold, and the current construction status of the infrastructure and golf resort components. Working through this checklist with UInvest ahead of signing helps ensure the purchase aligns with both budget and realistic delivery expectations.

Financing Considerations

Given AIDA’s price points, buyers typically combine a substantial deposit with either the developer’s own staged payment plan or a mortgage from a bank operating in Oman that offers financing to non-resident freehold buyers within designated ITCs. With the project’s recent financing secured from the National Bank of Oman, buyers may also find it useful to discuss current bank-level financing options directly with UInvest.

Furnishing and Rental Management

UInvest can assist with furnishing and rental management for AIDA owners seeking income from their villa, particularly once the Trump International Golf Club and surrounding five-star hospitality cluster are operational and driving tourism demand to the wider area. Given the development’s ultra-luxury positioning, units here are likely to suit high-end holiday letting and long-term luxury rental rather than standard corporate or budget tenancy.

Off-Plan Buyer Protections

Off-plan sales within Oman’s designated ITCs 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 ahead of the 2027–2028 delivery window.

Currency and Payment Notes

AIDA is priced in UAE Dirham, Euro and US Dollars. The Omani Rial has been pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed rate since 1986, removing currency risk 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 an exclusive gated community, AIDA will operate under an owners’ association and club membership structure responsible for maintaining shared infrastructure — wellness centres, trails, promenades and the exclusive club’s facilities — funded through annual service and membership charges set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Buyers should confirm the current service charge and club membership rate directly with UInvest before signing, given the premium specification of the development’s amenities.

AIDA vs Muscat’s Other Freehold Resort Communities

Compared with Muscat Bay’s Jumeirah-branded resort setting or Al Mouj’s marina-and-golf community, AIDA competes at an entirely different scale and price point, anchored by the region’s first Trump-branded golf development and a cluster of planned five-star hotels including Ritz-Carlton, Jumeirah and Shangri-La. Buyers should weigh AIDA’s substantially higher entry pricing and longer delivery timeline against its unique brand positioning and hilltop setting when comparing it against Oman’s other established freehold resort destinations.

Rental Yields and Ongoing Costs

Published rental yield data specific to AIDA is not yet established given the development’s early construction stage and multi-year delivery timeline. For broader context on Oman’s freehold rental market, see our guide to rental yields in Oman, while recognising that AIDA’s ultra-luxury positioning and Trump-branded golf resort component may drive a materially different demand and pricing profile than the standard freehold rental market.

Is 2026 a Good Time to Buy at AIDA?

With major financing secured from the National Bank of Oman in early 2026 and the first phase targeted for completion by 2027, buyers reserving now are entering ahead of the project’s most active construction period and the Trump International Oman resort’s December 2028 opening. 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.

Who Should Consider AIDA

AIDA suits buyers and investors specifically seeking Oman’s most exclusive and internationally recognised branded golf address, with the financial capacity to commit to a multi-year, multi-million-dollar acquisition at the upper end of the villa and mansion tiers, or the more accessible attached villa entry point starting from USD 353,000. It particularly suits buyers drawn to Trump-branded golf resorts internationally, or those seeking Muscat’s most prestigious hilltop setting above the Gulf of Oman.

Construction Progress and Reporting

UInvest maintains contact with Dar Global’s sales and project teams and can provide buyers with current construction progress updates, photography and any specification changes ahead of each instalment due date under the staged payment plan, helping off-plan buyers track delivery through to the 2027–2028 completion window.

Getting to AIDA: Access and Connectivity

AIDA sits just 10 minutes from Downtown Muscat, with driving access to Oman’s UNESCO World Heritage sites including Bahla Fort, and to nearby coastal and mountain attractions such as Bandar Al Khairan, Wadi Lake, Yitti Beach and Qantab Mountain. This central Muscat location, combined with the development’s elevated cliffside setting, gives AIDA residents both city-centre accessibility and a genuinely dramatic natural landscape.

Resale Market and Liquidity

As a newly launched, multi-year off-plan development, AIDA’s secondary resale market remains entirely unestablished, with no historical transaction data available to reference when underwriting pricing. Buyers should treat AIDA as a longer-term holding tied to the successful delivery and opening of Trump International Oman, rather than a short-term resale play dependent on an already-proven market.

Comparing Unit Tiers at AIDA

Attached villas, from USD 353,000, suit buyers and investors prioritising the most accessible entry point into AIDA’s brand and setting, while standalone villas from USD 1.9 million and mansions from USD 6.8 million suit ultra-high-net-worth buyers seeking the development’s most substantial and private living formats. Buyers should compare specific unit type pricing directly with UInvest, since the full range spans from an entry-tier freehold purchase to one of the most expensive residential offerings currently available in Oman.

Dar Al Arkan’s Regional Track Record

Dar Al Arkan, Dar Global’s parent company, is one of Saudi Arabia’s largest publicly listed real estate developers, with a substantial track record delivering large-scale residential and mixed-use projects across the Gulf region. This financial scale and delivery experience underpins AIDA’s ambitious scope, including its reported USD 4 billion agreement with the Trump Organisation for the golf resort component.

Buyer Due Diligence Checklist for Ultra-Luxury Branded Developments

Buyers considering AIDA should specifically request documentation on the exact brand licensing arrangement between Dar Global, OMRAN and the Trump Organization, the specific timeline for their chosen phase relative to the wider 2027–2028 delivery window, and clarity on which amenities — golf club, hotel, wellness centres — are included in standard service charges versus separately billed club membership. Raising these questions with UInvest ahead of reservation is especially important given AIDA’s scale and multi-party development structure.

Snagging and Handover Inspection

Ahead of final acceptance, AIDA buyers will be invited to a snagging inspection where any finishing defects are logged and corrected by the developer before handover is formally completed. Given the scale and premium specification of AIDA’s villas and mansions, non-resident owners should plan for this stage carefully, either through a personal visit or by appointing a qualified local representative to attend 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 removes exchange-rate volatility across the full duration of a multi-year staged payment plan at AIDA, giving buyers budgeting certainty from reservation through to the 2027–2028 delivery window.

The Trump Organization’s Golf Portfolio in the Gulf

Trump International Golf Club, Oman marks the Trump Organization’s entry into the Gulf golf resort market, extending a global portfolio of Trump-branded golf properties across the United States, Europe and the Middle East. For buyers specifically drawn to Trump-branded real estate internationally, AIDA represents the first opportunity to acquire a residence within this specific brand’s Gulf footprint, a genuine first-mover position within the region.

Cliffside Architecture and Natural Setting

AIDA’s positioning across sharp cliffs, winding valleys and varied altitudes 100 metres above the Gulf of Oman gives the development a genuinely dramatic natural setting uncommon among Muscat’s more conventional beachfront or golf-course freehold communities. This topography supports panoramic sea and golf views from many units, while also presenting the design and engineering challenges typical of large-scale cliffside development — a factor reflected in the project’s substantial financing requirements and multi-year delivery timeline.

Golf Academy and Members-Only Facilities

Beyond the 18-hole championship course itself, Trump International Golf Club, Oman will include a dedicated golf academy and members-only club facilities, giving AIDA residents structured coaching and exclusive social infrastructure alongside the course. This academy component is a notable inclusion for buyers with an active interest in golf development and instruction, rather than purely course access alone.

Step-by-Step Comparison: AIDA vs Established Muscat Golf Communities

Buyers comparing AIDA against Al Mouj’s established Greg Norman-designed golf course or Jebel Sifah’s Harradine-designed course should weigh a clear trade-off: both existing communities offer operational golf infrastructure and years of resale and rental history today, while AIDA offers a still-under-construction but internationally branded golf resort with a considerably higher price ceiling and a 2028 opening target. Buyers prioritising immediate golf access should explore Al Mouj or Jebel Sifah directly with UInvest; those drawn to AIDA’s brand prestige and willing to accept a multi-year wait should focus on AIDA specifically.

Buyer Due Diligence for Multi-Party Branded Developments

Because AIDA involves three distinct parties — Dar Global as developer, OMRAN as the government tourism partner, and the Trump Organization as golf brand licensor — buyers should specifically confirm which entity is contractually responsible for which component of the development, how the escrow arrangement is structured across these parties, and what recourse exists if any one party’s component of the project is delayed relative to the others. UInvest can help buyers navigate these questions directly with Dar Global’s sales team ahead of reservation.

Wellness and Active Lifestyle Infrastructure

AIDA’s running trails, mountain bike and hiking trails, and dedicated wellness centres reflect a broader positioning toward active, health-focused luxury living rather than purely passive resort amenities. Combined with the development’s dramatic cliffside topography, this infrastructure gives residents genuine outdoor recreation options beyond the golf course itself, appealing to buyers seeking a more comprehensive wellness-oriented lifestyle proposition.

Weekend and Second-Home Appeal

For Muscat-based buyers, AIDA’s position just 10 minutes from Downtown Muscat makes it a highly accessible option for a luxury second home or weekend retreat, offering a dramatic change of scenery and elevation without requiring significant travel time. This central location, combined with the development’s ultra-luxury specification, positions AIDA as a practical option for buyers who want a resort-style escape without leaving the greater Muscat area.

Price Per Square Metre in Context

At roughly AED 10,800 per square metre for the entry attached villa tier, AIDA prices well above Oman’s standard freehold market, reflecting its ultra-luxury positioning, cliffside setting and Trump-branded golf resort component. This premium is consistent with comparable branded golf and hospitality real estate internationally, and buyers should evaluate AIDA against similar international branded-residence benchmarks rather than against Oman’s broader freehold market pricing alone.

Investment Diversification Within Oman’s Freehold Market

For investors already holding freehold property elsewhere in Oman — whether in Al Mouj, Muscat Bay or one of Sultan Haitham City’s newer neighbourhoods — AIDA offers genuine diversification into an entirely different price tier and brand category, anchored by international golf and hospitality recognition rather than a domestic Omani development narrative alone. This positions AIDA as a complementary rather than competing holding for investors building a broader Oman-focused property portfolio across multiple price points and lifestyle categories.

Comparing AIDA to Oman’s Newer Off-Plan Masterplans

Investors researching Oman’s freehold market alongside newer government-anchored releases such as those within Sultan Haitham City or Duqm should note that AIDA occupies a wholly distinct category: an ultra-luxury, internationally branded golf resort rather than an entry-level or mid-market urban masterplan. This distinction is worth weighing carefully when comparing entry pricing, delivery timelines and target buyer profiles across Oman’s broader freehold landscape.
