Overview
Amour Sans Détour is a villa collection at AIDA, Dar Global’s clifftop community in Yiti. The name, French for love without detour, reflects the idea of a simple, direct escape: villas set 130 metres above the sea, steps from the coastline and minutes from the Trump International golf course.
These are the most compact villas at AIDA, with three bedrooms in about 108 to 111 m². That keeps the price at the entry level for a villa in the community and makes them suitable either as a personal holiday home or as a property for managed letting.
Handover is listed for Q4 2030.

About AIDA
AIDA is a gated clifftop community in Yiti, on the coast south-east of Muscat, developed by Dar Global in a joint venture with OMRAN, Oman’s tourism development company. The master plan covers more than 4 million m² of land, much of it set about 130 metres above the Gulf of Oman, so a large share of homes look straight out over the sea, the cliffs and the surrounding canyons.
The community is planned as a complete destination rather than a single building. Its centrepiece is an 18-hole Trump International championship golf course with a clubhouse, alongside the Trump International Hotel Oman, Marriott-branded residences and a Nickelodeon family resort. Around them sit villas, apartments, a community and retail centre, restaurants and cafés, pools, wellness and fitness centres, parks, a viewing deck and trails for running, hiking and mountain biking.
Construction of the first phase began in early 2024 with Qurum Stone Development as main contractor, and the golf course and Trump hotel are scheduled to open in December 2028. Dar Global is the international arm of Saudi developer Dar Al Arkan; the Trump Organization, Marriott and Nickelodeon are brand partners rather than developers.
How buying works
The villas are sold off-plan by Dar Global with structured payments linked to construction. The usual steps are:
- Step 1 Choose the unit and pay the reservation deposit
- Step 2 Sign the sale and purchase agreement with the developer
- Step 3 Pay instalments in line with the approved plan
- Step 4 Handover, snagging and title deed in your name
Ownership, residency and costs
AIDA is part of a licensed Integrated Tourism Complex, so buyers of any nationality can own their home freehold, with the title deed registered in their own name. Owners can live in the home, rent it out, sell it or leave it to their heirs.
Owning a residential unit in an ITC allows the owner to apply for an Omani residence visa for themselves and their immediate family, and Oman’s 10-year investor residency is available where the property is worth OMR 200,000 or more. Residency is granted by the authorities, and the rules change from time to time, so we confirm the current requirements for your case.
Allow for 5% VAT on new homes bought from the developer, the land registration fee at transfer and the annual service charge, which for AIDA apartments has been quoted at around OMR 9 per m² per year. Oman has no annual property tax, no personal income tax and no capital gains tax on property.
Who it suits
- Buyers looking for the lowest entry price for a villa at AIDA
- Holiday-home owners who want low maintenance
- Investors planning managed letting
- Buyers comfortable with a 2030 handover
