A luxurious development in the stunning mountains of Jabal Akhdar.
The site is located within the Al Jarrer area of Jabal Akhdar and occupies a unique cliff edge location at an elevation of 3,000 metres above sea level with dramatic views along Wadi Tanuf towards Nizwa and across the Jabal Akhdar mountain range. The site is surrounded by mountains, small hamlets, old, uninhabited villages, caves and canyons, as well as countless small roads connecting to new valleys and views. The Client has secured a plot measuring 136,220 m² via a 50-year renewable lease with an option to renew for a further 50 years. The Project Site is accessible via a network of graded roads that service the surrounding villages but is isolated from any other usage. The preliminary development brief.
The Jabal Akhdar market is limited to three international branded resorts with a total of 453 keys along with a number of locally branded hotels, serviced apartments and villas which are located mainly in the Saiq area. Market Opportunities: Hotel development on Jabal Akhdar is relatively nascent, with the Alila Jabal Akhdar opening in 2014, followed by the Anantara in 2016 and Dusit D2 in 2021. Demand for hotels originates predominantly from the international FIT, regional and local weekend leisure sectors attracted by the unique natural environment, cultural and adventure opportunities and lower temperatures (particularly during the summer months). The development of Jabal Akhdar is a key focus of Oman's 2040 tourism vision and opportunities exist across all categories of hotel asset class.
