Muscat Bay – the resort village master-developed by OMRAN
Muscat Bay is master-planned and developed by OMRAN Group, the tourism development arm of the Sultanate of Oman, with Saraya as co-shareholder. OMRAN built the community's backbone — the five-star Jumeirah Muscat Bay hotel on the beach, the lagoon, the village green with shops, restaurants, pools and play areas, the roads and utilities — and sells the villa and apartment collections directly: the Wajd Senses hilltop villas, the Nameer island villas, the Zaha clubhouse villas, the Sky Garden penthouses and the Bay Residences apartments. Partner developers add new apartment releases inside the bay.
The village is low-density by design: 260 residences in a secluded valley between the Al Hajar mountains and the Gulf of Oman, 20 minutes from downtown Muscat, with only a few homes from the original portfolio still unsold. Buying from the master developer means the sales agreement is signed with the owner of the land and the community itself, with instalments paid to the project escrow account; Muscat Bay is an ITC, so owners of any nationality hold freehold title and may apply for an Omani residence visa.
The entry ticket to LUMA — a one-bedroom with a 30 m² terrace
LUMA Residences is the low-rise cluster that the developer Muscat Bay is building in its own community, the gated bay south of Muscat where the Jumeirah hotel, the beach and the village square already operate. This is the smallest unit in the cluster, but a corner one: 75.7 m² of built-up area with windows on two sides and a 30 m² terrace that brings the total to 105.6 m². The plan is simple — an entrance, a guest bathroom, a living and dining area, a kitchen, a bedroom with a dressing area and its own bathroom, and a separate study that can serve as an office or a second sleeping room for guests.
The apartment has one parking space; residents share the clubhouse, the pools, the gym, the basketball court, walking and cycling paths, parks, playgrounds, cafés and shops inside the gated community, with the beach and nature trails of Muscat Bay a short walk away. Sold off-plan by the developer at 80,555 OMR (about $209,443); the handover date is given on request.
Community & amenities
Muscat Bay is
A resort community on the Gulf of Oman
Muscat Bay is a master-planned coastal community in Bandar Jissah, about 20 minutes from Old Muscat and Muttrah. Set between the Hajar mountains and the sea, it combines villas, apartments, a private beach and lagoon, the five-star Jumeirah Muscat Bay hotel and everyday infrastructure — restaurants, a supermarket, walking trails and sports courts.
As an Integrated Tourism Complex, Muscat Bay lets foreign buyers own property outright and apply for an Omani residence visa. The hotel and beach bring a year-round flow of visitors, which supports short-term rental demand.
