Mira Ocean Estates Phase 1

Mira Ocean Estates Phase 1 is a beachfront residential development by MIRA Developments, situated in the Dhofar Governorate of southern Oman and scheduled for completion in December 2028. The project sits on the Arabian Sea coast near Salalah and offers a mix of apartments, villas and townhouses across a single building, with presale pricing running from approximately AED 550,000 to AED 1.8 million.

# A beachfront community on the Omani coast

Salalah occupies a distinct position in the Gulf region. The city sits at the southern tip of Oman, on a coastline that faces the Arabian Sea rather than the Gulf, and its climate and landscape are unlike anywhere else in the Middle East. The annual khareef monsoon season transforms the Dhofar hills into something closer to East Africa than the Arabian Peninsula, drawing over one million visitors a year, many of whom stay for nearly a week at a stretch.

Mira Ocean Estates Phase 1 is positioned as the first multi-branded beachfront community in Oman. That distinction matters here because the branded residence model, long established in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Phuket, has arrived relatively late to Salalah. The project brings together two residential brands under one address: Richmond Residences and Trussardi Residences.

# Residences, typologies and specification

The development encompasses apartments, townhouses, villas and mansions, all delivered fully furnished. Natural stone, designer furniture and premium appliances feature across the range, with the specification consistent regardless of unit type.

Precise square footage data is not yet publicly confirmed. Buyers should engage directly with the sales team for current floor plans and individual unit dimensions. With only three units listed in the current presale release, this first phase represents a tightly controlled entry point into the wider community.

# On-site amenities and resort infrastructure

The amenity programme is comprehensive for a coastal development of this type.

# Hotel, wellness and beach access

A five-star hotel operates within the community, providing residents with access to dining and event facilities without leaving the address. A beach club, central swimming pool and private beach access anchor the lifestyle offering. For wellness, the project includes a gym, spa, medical clinic and recovery facilities, an arrangement that positions the development somewhere between a residential address and a managed resort.

Walking paths and outdoor playgrounds round out the common areas. The integrated hotel component is notable: it adds a layer of footfall and operational management that typically supports rental yields in resort-adjacent markets.

# Salalah: connectivity and ownership framework

Salalah International Airport sits around thirty minutes from the development, with fifteen airlines operating direct routes to seventeen destinations. That range of connections matters to the international buyer profile this project targets.

Oman's legal framework allows freehold ownership for foreign nationals in designated areas, and purchase here qualifies buyers for a renewable two-year residence visa. There is no inheritance tax. These conditions mirror, in structural terms, the frameworks that drew early foreign capital into Dubai and Bahrain, though Salalah's market remains far less mature.

Oman Vision 2040, the government's long-term diversification strategy, explicitly targets tourism and real estate as growth pillars in the Dhofar region.

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

Mira Ocean Estates Phase 1 is not a Dubai play. Buyers comparing it against Palm Jumeirah or Dubai Harbour are asking the wrong question.

The relevant comparison is with early-stage resort markets: coastal Montenegro, Aqaba in Jordan, or Muscat's integrated tourism complexes from a decade ago. Salalah is at an earlier point in that curve, which means the entry price reflects emerging-market positioning, not mature prime pricing. The AED 550,000 floor makes this accessible to buyers who want Arabian Sea frontage at a price point that no longer exists in Dubai.

For GCC buyers seeking a second home within a short flight, for European or Asian investors looking at Oman Vision 2040 as a structural tailwind, or for those who want a fully managed beachfront residence without the Dubai price premium, Phase 1 offers a considered entry into a market that is still forming its identity.
