Following on from the Royal Decree that foreign nationals are permitted to purchase land and property in Oman, The Sultanate of Oman is investing $USD10bn in tourism projects, aiming to attract 12m visitors a year by 2020. Well positioned to capitalise on this cash injection, is Oman�s latest and most luxurious hotel and residential offering: The Malkai. The development will offer an exclusive community, a Country Club and Resort that will compare to some of the best around the world. The project, while clearly contemporary, remains rooted in the essence of Omani architecture and tradition, giving a strong sense of place. As one of the oldest civilisations in the Arabian Peninsular, Oman offers foreign buyers and holidaymaker�s an exciting and diverse destination, as the country still retains a rich history and heritage.

Scheduled to complete in late 2011, The Malkai will comprise 15 two-bedroom residences, 7 three-bedroom villas and 51 four-bedroom estates for sale, as well as a boutique hotel with 90 one-bedroom suites. All residences and estates are to be interior designed by the renowned Jaya Ibrahim and will be delivered fully furnished. Each property will be fully landscaped and feature large swimming pools.

The UK sales are handled by International Chartered Surveyors and Property Consultants, Savills, while the developers are the respected Al Maeen real Estate Services Co. LLC and Hanscomb are the project managers.

The retained management company, GHM, bears the unmistakable imprint of legendary hotelier Adrian Zecha and will be setting new standard of style and service in one of the most beautiful and exciting areas of the world.
