AIDA by Dar Global

AIDA is a gated residential community developed by Dar Global, positioned 130 metres above the Gulf of Oman on the hillsides outside Muscat. Spread across five buildings with 75 residences in total, the project is priced from AED 1.5 million and is scheduled for completion in September 2028.

# The community and its position above Muscat

The site itself does the heavy lifting architecturally. Cliffside terrain at 130 metres elevation gives every residence an unobstructed sightline over the Gulf, and the surrounding landscape, rocky canyon formations, coastal green space and the water below, forms the visual framework rather than any manufactured landscaping feature.

Five buildings make up the community. At 75 residences across the entire project, the density is low by Omani coastal development standards, which keeps the gated site from feeling like a resort hotel dressed up as private housing. Construction is under way, with no readiness progress recorded at the time of listing.

The address places buyers roughly 20 minutes from central Muscat, close enough to reach the city without the community feeling absorbed by it.

# Residences, layouts and floor areas

The configuration runs from three-bedroom residences up to five-bedroom homes, covering a size range of approximately 1,167 to 4,381 square feet. Three-bedroom units sit around 2,247 square feet in the mid-tier configurations, while four-bedroom homes extend to 3,600 square feet and the largest five-bedroom residences approach 4,381 square feet.

Pricing across the range spans AED 1.5 million to just under AED 16 million, though some of the lower per-unit figures suggest attached villa typologies with different specification tiers. Mansions within the community carry marble flooring and Miele-branded kitchen appliances. Standard villas are finished with porcelain marble-look flooring and Siemens or Bosch kitchen fit-outs. All residences are delivered with kitchens only, not fully furnished. Service charges are quoted at AED 3.5 to 8 per square foot annually, depending on unit type.

# Amenities anchored by the Trump International Golf Club

The social centrepiece of AIDA is the Trump International Golf Club Oman, and residential ownership comes with social membership access. That membership extends beyond the course itself to the club's wellness and dining facilities, which gives owners a credible daily-use amenity rather than a prestige asset that sits idle.

# Active infrastructure on the hillside

The terrain shapes the amenity list as much as any design decision. Hiking trails, running trails and mountain bike routes use the natural topography of the site. A fitness centre and wellness centres supplement outdoor activity. A clubhouse, viewing deck, promenades and a dedicated social infrastructure round out the community offering. The gated perimeter is consistent with what buyers at this price point expect in the Omani market.

# Proximity to Muscat's coastline and resort corridor

The Yiti and Yenkit beaches sit within reach of the AIDA site, and the nearby resort corridor includes the Shangri-La, Ritz-Carlton and Nikki Beach properties. That proximity matters for buyers who want the option of hotel-level dining and spa facilities outside the community itself, without the development needing to replicate them internally.

There are no confirmed nearby points of interest listed in the project data at this stage, so buyers should verify distances independently before drawing conclusions about commute times.

# Who this project suits and where it sits in the regional market

AIDA appeals to a specific profile: the buyer who treats Oman as a second-home market, values outdoor access, and wants a low-density residential setting without sacrificing clubhouse infrastructure. The golf membership element will attract the GCC buyer who already holds club memberships in Dubai or Bahrain and wants continuity of lifestyle. European and UK buyers drawn to Oman for its relative quietness compared to the UAE will find the cliff setting and limited unit count more compelling than the price point alone.

The September 2028 completion horizon places AIDA firmly in the off-plan category, and with construction yet to register formal progress, buyers are pricing in both the long lead time and the Dar Global covenant. The developer has a wider regional portfolio and the Trump-branded golf facility provides an anchor tenant that reduces some of the delivery-risk perception common to hillside resort projects of this type.
