Hawana Salalah – Freehold Waterfront Chalets & Villas, Dhofar Coast

Hawana Salalah: Oman's Largest Waterfront Resort Community

Spread across roughly 6 million square metres of the Dhofar coast, Hawana Salalah is Muriya's (Orascom Development) flagship resort town — a working marina, seven kilometres of white sand, swimmable lagoons, five hotels and a water park, all woven around freehold homes. Oman Properties has followed this development closely because it delivers both ready inventory and active off-plan phases at the same address.

Homes from Chalet to Standalone Villa

Buyers can choose from one-bedroom waterfront chalets, two-bedroom beachfront chalets, twin villas with private gardens, and three-bedroom standalone villas — plus the newest release, Lubana Island, a lagoon-front villa neighbourhood in the Amazi district with single-storey or two-storey layouts and gardens up to 454 sqm. Off-plan buyers on Lubana Island pay 10% down and 7.5% quarterly over three years.

Two Tourist Seasons, One Long Rental Calendar

Salalah is unusual among Gulf destinations for having two distinct visitor seasons — the khareef monsoon draws GCC tourists from June to September, while mild winters bring European charter arrivals. That's why Muriya projects rental yields up to 10.6% on the entry-level chalets; see our buying guide for how yield assumptions like this are typically calculated. The community sits on Taqah Road, about 15 minutes from Salalah's centre and 20 from the international airport.

Freehold Ownership and Residency

Hawana Salalah is a designated Integrated Tourism Complex, so every home here is freehold to all nationalities, with ownership carrying eligibility for Omani residency and no annual property or income tax. Ready units are available for immediate handover alongside the off-plan releases — read more in our guide to buying property in Oman.
