What you should know about Muscat Bay
Explore location, amenities, and investment opportunities in details.
Coastal project
Muscat Bay (formerly Saraya Bandar Jissah) is the only fully integrated resort village in Oman — a 2.2 million sqm private community set between the Al Hajar Mountains and the Gulf of Oman, 25 minutes from central Muscat. The community includes completed residences, two Jumeirah Hotels, private beaches, a lagoon, sports courts, and landscaped parks.
Properties at Muscat Bay are ready to move in, and ownership includes full Omani residency for the buyer and their immediate family. With prices starting from $650,000, the project also qualifies for Oman's Golden Visa. The resort's unique combination of natural setting, five-star hospitality on site, and freehold ownership makes it one of the strongest long-term value propositions in the Omani market.
Location in Bandar Jissah
The resort sits at Bandar Jissah near Qantab, 25 minutes from central Muscat and 35 minutes from Muscat International Airport along Al Jissah Street. The Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah is 6 minutes away. Downtown Muscat, Al Alam Palace, the Royal Opera House, and Oman National Museum are all within a 35-minute drive — close enough for a weekday evening, far enough to feel removed from city life.
New step in your investments
Muscat Bay is a freehold Integrated Tourism Complex — open to buyers of all nationalities. Every purchase includes Omani residency for the owner and immediate family, with no minimum stay requirement. Properties priced from OMR 250,000 (~$650,000) also qualify for Oman's Golden Visa, granting renewable long-term residency.
Completed inventory is available for immediate rental. The combination of two Jumeirah Hotels, a private beach, and a self-contained resort layout positions Muscat Bay at the top of Muscat's short-term rental market — particularly during the cooler winter months when the Gulf of Oman attracts visitors from across the GCC and Europe. Gross rental yields are estimated at 6–7% for furnished units, with potential upside from holiday lettings managed through the Jumeirah network.
As a mature, fully operational community in a city with limited freehold coastal supply, Muscat Bay remains one of the more defensible long-term holds in the Omani residential market.
