Modern Resort Living at AIDA Project

The Great Escape apartment collection features a variety of layouts designed for both investors and end-users. One-bedroom units range from 75-95 sqm and are ideal for young professionals or couples, priced from OMR 180,000 to OMR 280,000. Two-bedroom apartments (the most popular choice) span 110-140 sqm with prices from OMR 320,000 to OMR 480,000. These units appeal to small families and represent the optimal investment sweet spot for rental yields. Three-bedroom apartments offer 160-180 sqm of space, priced from OMR 550,000 to OMR 750,000, targeting larger families and those seeking more spacious resort living. All apartments feature high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows maximizing Gulf views, and premium finishes including European fixtures and smart home systems.

The investment case for AIDA apartments is compelling. On the short-term rental market (Airbnb, Booking.com), well-furnished 2-bedroom units with golf or sea views are projected to achieve nightly rates of OMR 80-120 once the resort is operational in 2028. At 60-70% annual occupancy (conservative for a branded resort destination), this translates to gross yields of 9-11%. For investors preferring stable long-term income, annual leases to expat professionals or corporate housing programs are expected to yield 6-7% gross returns with minimal management overhead. The Trump brand association, resort amenities, and scarcity of luxury oceanfront apartments in Muscat support these projections.

Buying an AIDA apartment is structured for capital efficiency. The standard payment plan requires 10% on reservation, 10% on contract signing, and 30% spread over construction milestones (typically paid quarterly over 12-18 months). The remaining 50% is due on handover in Q4 2026. Additionally, developers are offering post-handover payment plans where buyers can finance the final 50% over 3-5 years with competitive interest rates. This allows investors to start generating rental income immediately upon handover while still completing their payment obligations. Cash purchases receive discounts of 5-8%, making them attractive for high-liquidity investors seeking maximum capital appreciation from launch to completion.

All AIDA apartments are delivered with premium base finishes including imported floor tiles, European kitchen cabinetry, branded bathroom fixtures, and built-in wardrobes. Buyers can upgrade to luxury finish packages during construction which typically include marble flooring, premium kitchen appliances, and enhanced bathroom fittings for an additional 10-15% cost. For rental optimization, the developer offers turnkey furniture packages specifically designed for short-term rentals—these include all furniture, soft furnishings, kitchenware, and resort-style styling for OMR 12,000-25,000 depending on unit size. Using the approved packages ensures consistency with the AIDA aesthetic and maximizes rental appeal on vacation platforms.

AIDA apartments represent an ideal first property investment in Oman for several reasons. The entry price is highly competitive, and with full ITC status, any purchase above OMR 200,000 qualifies for the 10-year Golden Residency visa. This covers the investor, spouse, children, and parents with no minimum stay requirement. The resort management services handle all operational complexities including rentals, maintenance, and guest services, making this a truly hands-off investment for international buyers. Capital appreciation from purchase to handover (2025-2026) is projected at 15-25% based on comparable off-plan projects in Muscat. The Trump brand association provides downside protection and resale liquidity. Finally, full ITC status ensures 100% foreign ownership with no restrictions, providing strategic flexibility for international investors seeking a Middle East base.
