Property in Salalah

Salalah and the khareef

Dhofar’s coast catches the edge of the Indian Ocean monsoon, which is why Salalah looks nothing like the rest of the Gulf for three months of the year: drizzle, mist on the mountains and green hillsides. The season draws visitors from across the Gulf, and the hotels, the Hawana Salalah resort with its marina and water park, and the city’s restaurants run at full capacity. Outside the khareef the sea is warm and calm, and the city is quieter – a pattern that suits owners who want a holiday home that earns in summer and is free to use in winter.

Mira Ocean Estates

Mira Developments, a developer from the UAE active in Dubai and Oman, is building Mira Ocean Estates on the beach west of the city, beside Hawana Salalah. The project is run like a resort: residents come in through a hotel-style lobby with concierge and valet parking, have the spa, gym, private pools and restaurants at hand, and walk down to the beach. The unit range starts with studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments and goes up to townhouses and villas; prices start at $149,763 (57,601 OMR). Payment is 10% on booking, 40% in instalments during construction and 50% on handover, which is planned for Q4 2028. Both short- and long-term letting are allowed, and a concierge-run building is the natural format for seasonal rental.

Ownership

The neighbouring Hawana Salalah is an Integrated Tourism Complex with freehold for all nationalities and an owner’s residence visa. Mira Ocean Estates is sold by Mira Developments as freehold for buyers of any nationality, with eligibility for renewable Omani residency that the developer puts at up to ten years; the project has not published its own ITC designation, so we confirm the title wording and the residency threshold with the developer in writing before any reservation.
