Taqah Long Beach Boutique, Taqah, Salalah, Oman

Taqah Long Beach Boutique, Taqah — 24 sea-view apartments near Salalah, Oman

Taqah Long Beach Boutique is a 24-residence low-rise on the Dhofar coast at Taqah, about 31 km east of Salalah. The developer is Al Zaid Real Estate & Development, trading here as AZD. It is a single curved building of four residential floors over a ground level, finished in white and sand-toned panels, with a 200 m² pool deck and bar on the roof. Completion is targeted for Q3 2026, per the developer. Of the 24 residences, 2 were shown as available on the price list dated 25 August 2026, priced from $224,700.

Taqah Long Beach Boutique is a building of one-bedroom apartments in Al Zaid’s Taqah portfolio: each of the 24 residences has a separate bedroom and a living room, with floor-to-ceiling glazing and a balcony. The figures on this page come from the developer’s brochure and sales sheet, from the price list dated 25 August 2026 and from the developer’s profile on this site. The sections below cover the ownership route, the apartments, the price and payment plan, the amenities, the location, the buying steps, residency and a short glossary.

Key facts

Ownership route and tenure

Ownership in Oman is organised by zone. Foreign freehold ownership flows from Sultani Decree 12/2006, which permits non-citizen ownership inside approved Integrated Tourism Complexes (ITCs). Dhofar’s ITC is Hawana Salalah, the Muriya development west of Salalah city. Outside an ITC, property can be held on other terms, usually a long lease or usufruct that is registered with the authorities and states its term and renewal conditions.

For Taqah Long Beach Boutique the tenure is recorded in the reservation documents, which the sales office issues with the unit. For the neighbouring Sea Front Residences, 2.3 km along the same beach, the developer’s brochure states “99 years leasehold renewable for life”. Registration is completed with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, and a buyer may have a lawyer in Oman review the instrument before signing.

Buyers who want to compare options inside an ITC can look at our listings for Alef Qurum Residence, Telal Al Qurm and Al Mouj in Muscat, and Amazi at Hawana Salalah within Dhofar itself.

The residences

The building holds 24 apartments across four residential floors — six per floor. All are handed over finished, with built-in appliances and a “Smart Home” system, behind floor-to-ceiling glazing with a balcony to every unit.

One bedroom plus one living room

The brochure page is headed “Types of Flats” and names both variants “Type A 1+1”. The notation 1+1 is the convention for one bedroom plus one living room, so each apartment is a one-bedroom home. The renders show a living and dining area separated from the bed by a full-height timber partition and a doorway. At 104–105 m² gross these apartments compare with the 56 m² and 70 m² studios at the sister Sea Front Residences, which are a different product with a single main room.

Floor plans and areas

The “Types of Flats” page carries two interior renders. The sales office supplies the dimensioned floor plan of the specific unit, together with its gross and enclosed areas, because the gross figure of 104–105 m² includes the balcony and terrace. Asking for both figures at reservation gives a clear picture of the interior space of the apartment on offer.

Unit by unit

There are two plan variants. The larger is 105 m² gross (1,130 sq ft) and the smaller 104 m² gross (1,119 sq ft), a difference of 1 m². At the entry price of $224,700 the larger plan works out at about $199 per square foot and the smaller at about $201. In rials, OMR 86,395 over 105 m² is about OMR 823 per square metre, and over 104 m² about OMR 831. Both variants sit below the OMR 200,000 line used for Golden Residency, and both come with the same finish: built-in appliances including refrigerator and dishwasher, the “Smart Home” system, floor-to-ceiling glazing and a balcony. Which floor and which aspect an available apartment has is confirmed by the sales office, as is whether it is the 104 m² or the 105 m² plan.

Pricing

All conversions use 1 OMR = 2.6008 USD. For reference, the table below sets out approximate prices per square foot across several of our Oman listings, as plain figures:

Read side by side, the Sea Front studios are $217 per square foot and the Boutique one-bedrooms $199 – $201. The two buildings are different products: furnished studios of 56 m² and 70 m² at the Sea Front, and finished one-bedroom apartments of 104–105 m² with a separate bedroom at the Boutique.

Entry price in rials and dollars

The entry price is $224,700. At the peg of 2.6008 this is OMR 86,395 (86,395 × 2.6008 is about 224,700). The rial is pegged to the dollar, so the dollar value of an OMR price does not move with the exchange market, which keeps budgeting simple for a buyer who pays from another currency.

Service charge

The service-charge schedule for the Boutique is issued with its reservation documents. A service charge in Oman usually covers the upkeep of common areas, the pool, security, lifts and landscaping, and is billed annually or in instalments to an owner’s account. Here the common parts include a rooftop pool, a bar, landscaped gardens, a lift, 24-hour security and a shuttle service, shared by 24 apartments.

For reference, the sister Sea Front Residences charges a flat OMR 300 per year, which works out at 5.36 OMR/m² on its 56 m² studios; Alef Qurum Residence charges 5.00 OMR/m² and Telal Al Qurm 4.50 OMR/m². Those are the rates of other buildings, not this one. They show how a per-square-metre rate scales: on a 105 m² apartment each riyal per square metre per year comes to about OMR 105 a year.

Payment plan

The published terms are 50% on reservation, with the balance in monthly instalments until the project is completed. The price list is dated 25 August 2026 and completion is targeted for Q3 2026, per the developer, so the sales office issues the instalment schedule that applies on the date of purchase, with each date and amount.

A worked example of the payment plan

The example is illustrative and uses the entry price of OMR 86,395 ($224,700). The 50% reservation payment is OMR 43,197.50, or $112,350. The balance is the same amount, OMR 43,197.50 ($112,350). If that balance were divided into 10 equal monthly instalments, each would be OMR 4,319.75 ($11,235); if it were divided into 5, each would be OMR 8,639.50 ($22,470). The number of instalments and their dates are set by the schedule the sales office issues for the unit.

If a mortgage is needed, Omani banks lend to non-residents at roughly 70% loan-to-value and around 6.00% a year, with benchmarks published by the Central Bank of Oman.

Floor area and specification

The building has 24 apartments of 104–105 m² gross, which comes to roughly 2,500 m² of gross apartment area (24 × 104–105 m²). To this are added the lobby, cores, plant, parking and the 200 m² rooftop deck. The brochure’s facts panel, headed “TLB.B Residence Tabulation and Fact”, lists the unit count, the rooftop area and the construction area.

Each apartment is handed over finished: built-in appliances including refrigerator and dishwasher, a “Smart Home” system, floor-to-ceiling glazing and a balcony. With six apartments per floor over four residential floors, the layout repeats from floor to floor.

Amenities and shared facilities

The brochure’s features page lists eight items. Four are located in this building; four are located at Taqah Long Beach (TLB), the developer’s adjoining scheme along the same beach, which residents of the Boutique use as a neighbouring facility:

The brochure’s own tabulation credits the Boutique with a 200 m² rooftop pool and sitting area, and the renders show a pool, a bar and a covered lounge on this building’s roof. The gym, spa, restaurant, nursery, cafés and mini-market belong to the larger development next door, and sharing facilities between neighbouring buildings of one developer is a common arrangement for a compact scheme of 24 apartments. The sales office confirms the walking distance, how access is arranged and whether any charge applies for the unit being reserved.

Location: Taqah

The Plus Code decodes to 17.0334° N, 54.3857° E, on the shore about 1.8 km west of Taqah town and 2.3 km west of the developer’s Sea Front Residences along the same beach. Taqah is a Dhofari fishing town with a restored 19th-century castle, set between the sea and the Dhofar mountains. Our measurements from the site:

Because the site is 2.3 km further west than the Sea Front, Salalah and its airport are slightly nearer and the eastern landmarks slightly further. The sales sheet’s drive times are consistent with the measured distances:

Hawana Salalah, the Dhofar ITC, lies on the far side of Salalah city, 39.3 km from the site, so a trip there is a drive of roughly 40 km. For daily needs, the facilities of the adjoining Taqah Long Beach add a mini-market, a nursery and cafés next to the building.

The Salalah region and the khareef

From roughly June to September the khareef — the Indian Ocean monsoon — turns the mountains behind Salalah green, brings temperatures down to the low twenties and draws visitors from across the Gulf. According to National Centre for Statistics and Information figures reported by Times of Oman, Dhofar received 1,027,255 visitors between 21 June and 31 August 2025, compared with 1,006,635 in the same period of 2024, and 734,225 of them were Omani visitors. This seasonal tourism shapes the Dhofar property market.

The surroundings include several heritage sites. Sumhuram at Khor Rori, 5.7 km east, forms part of the UNESCO “Land of Frankincense” inscription — the ruins of a third-century-BC port from which frankincense left for the ancient world. Wadi Darbat, inland, fills with waterfalls during and after the khareef. Mirbat, half an hour east, keeps its old merchant houses and a diving coast. Regional tourism information is published by Experience Oman and policy by the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism.

The building

The Boutique is a compact rectangular block whose floor plates curve gently at the corners, wrapped in continuous glass-balustraded balconies. The palette is white and sand-toned panelling, with vertical timber fins that run the full height of the elevation. The ground floor is glazed behind tall pointed arches, a nod to Omani detailing that recurs across the developer’s work. At night, concealed lighting picks out the underside of every slab.

The 200 m² rooftop across 24 apartments comes to about 8.3 m² of deck per apartment, and it is the amenity the building itself provides. The prayer room on the ground floor is part of the building’s own provision and is listed in the brochure alongside the security and shuttle services.

The developer and partners

Al Zaid Real Estate & Development operates across the full development cycle — concept, design, construction, finishing and subsequent property management. The company’s website presents it as part of Al Zaid Group, with an office in the Saadah district of Salalah and branches listed in Kuwait, Lebanon, the Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey and Australia. Alongside development, the group lists interior design, project supervision, the supply of finishing materials and execution services. The full profile is on our page for Al Zaid Real Estate & Development, and other Oman developers are listed on the developers hub.

Its portfolio is concentrated on one stretch of coast: Taqah Long Beach, Taqah Long Beach Boutique, Taqah Blue Beach, Noah Residence, Lamar Residences and The Sea Front Residences. Taqah Long Beach runs to 229 residences and the Sea Front adds 94. The developer’s website shows Lamar and Taqah Blue Beach as completed projects, Taqah Long Beach, the H1 phase, the Boutique and Taqah Sea Front as ongoing, and the H2 phase as upcoming. The Boutique’s shared facilities draw on the Taqah Long Beach family of buildings, which share a location and a service model.

The dated project history begins with an agreement signed on 10 July 2023 to assign the Taqah Long Beach project to Al Zaid Real Estate Development Company in the Wilayat of Taqah, reported by Times of Oman citing the Oman News Agency. The sales sheet for the Boutique gives the completion quarter as Q3 2026 and the price list as dated 25 August 2026.

How buying works, step by step

A purchase follows the standard sequence for an off-plan or near-completion residence in Oman. The details sit in the reservation form and the sale and purchase agreement (SPA), the documents that fix the price, the payment schedule, the handover date and what is included in the unit. The normal order is:

• Select the unit. The sales office provides current availability, the unit’s floor and orientation, and its measured area, gross and enclosed.
• Reservation. A reservation form records the unit, the price and the reservation payment; for the Boutique the sales sheet states 50% on reservation.
• Sale and purchase agreement. The SPA sets the payment schedule, the handover date, the specification and the service-charge arrangement.
• Payments. Instalments are paid by the dates in the schedule into the project’s escrow account named in the reservation documents.
• Snagging and handover. Before accepting the keys, the buyer inspects the unit against the specification and lists any items to be completed (snagging), then connects utilities.
• Registration. Title or lease registration is completed with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, and the documents issued reflect the form of tenure for the project.

Oman’s real estate law changed recently. Royal Decree 79/2025, published in the Official Gazette on 14 September 2025, promulgated a new law regulating real estate and repealed several earlier instruments, including the escrow system created by Royal Decree 30/2018. It takes effect 180 days after publication, which falls in March 2026, and its main elements are project licensing, project escrow accounts, guarantees, registration and owners’ associations. In practice, the reservation documents identify the licensed project, the escrow account and the registration route, and the handover date in the SPA is the date that governs.

Residency routes in more detail

This site’s rule for the Golden Residency is that it requires a single ITC property worth at least OMR 200,000, and the Royal Oman Police decides each application. At the peg, OMR 200,000 is $520,160. The entry price of the Boutique, OMR 86,395 ($224,700), is below that figure.

The Owner Visa has no minimum property value. It was reshaped by Royal Oman Police Decision 87/2026, published in Official Gazette 1653 on 21 June 2026. According to Oman Observer and Times of Oman, the decision allows a foreign buyer to obtain a property-owner visa without a local sponsor on a certificate from the competent authority, valid for six months to one year and renewable, with stays of up to three months per entry; the permits of accompanying spouses and relatives follow the ownership.

The Golden Residency condition is one property of at least OMR 200,000, so two smaller purchases do not combine. A buyer who plans a residency application confirms the permit route for the purchase with the Royal Oman Police before reserving.

How it compares

The closest comparison is the developer’s own Sea Front Residences. The Sea Front sits on the beach, hands over fully furnished, offers 56 m² and 70 m² studios and has a handover target of Q4 2027, per the brochure. The Boutique is finished, with one-bedroom apartments of 104–105 m², a 200 m² roof deck shared among 24 households, and a completion target of Q3 2026. Within Dhofar, the ITC alternative is Amazi at Hawana Salalah, and there are further Salalah options in Lubana Island and the Muriya land plots.

Rental demand and seasonality

Letting demand in the Salalah area follows the khareef season. From June to September Dhofar fills with visitors, as the visitor figures above show, and a finished one-bedroom with a sea view, a rooftop pool and a shuttle service is aimed at that seasonal market. With completion targeted for Q3 2026, per the developer, an owner can plan for the 2027 season without waiting on construction.

Net rent depends on the service charge, management, vacant weeks and seasonality, so a letting plan is modelled on net figures rather than peak nightly rates. The larger unit size, with a separate bedroom, suits families, who make up much of the khareef market. Oman levies no personal income tax on rent; official statistics are published by the National Centre for Statistics and Information and investor incentives by Invest Oman.

Who the apartments suit

• Families: a separate bedroom, a living and dining area, a balcony and 104–105 m² of gross space.
• Second-home owners: a finished, appliance-fitted apartment with a “Smart Home” system, a rooftop pool and a shuttle service, 31 km from Salalah.
• Buyers planning to let: a unit in the Dhofar market that is busiest during the khareef, with a service-charge schedule issued with the reservation documents.
• Retirees: a low-rise building of 24 apartments with a prayer room, gardens, 24-hour security and neighbouring facilities, in a coastal town of about 18,218 people (2010 census).

Why Oman

Dhofar sits on Oman’s southern coast, and there is no personal income tax on rental earnings. Salalah International Airport connects the region to the Gulf and to seasonal international routes. General country information is published at oman.om and current affairs by the Times of Oman.
