Elegant arches, beautiful domes, intricate motifs – all the hallmarks of traditional Omani architecture came into play for this 240-hectare development. In FORREC’s design, several unique vacation environments are specifically designed to fit their particular locations on the site. An 18-hole tournament-quality golf course winds its way along man-made canals that flow in from the sea.
Two five-star hotels, a four-star golf resort, a boutique spa hotel perched atop a rocky overlook, and five resort communities all make the most of the site’s terrain from beachfront to hilltop. FORREC’s resort plan included a fascinating souk for an authentic Middle Eastern shopping experience, a water park for a refreshing diversion and a cable car line to connect key areas of the site.
