Overview
The Trump International Hotel Oman is the flagship hotel of AIDA, Dar Global’s clifftop golf community in Yiti, and is scheduled to open in December 2028 alongside the 18-hole Trump International championship golf course. The hotel is planned with about 140 keys.
Unusually for a five-star hotel, investors can buy and own individual hotel units: hotel rooms, Junior Suites and Suites, sized from about 43 to 138 m². The units are operated as part of the hotel, and owners can use their unit for up to two weeks a year.
This structure makes the Trump hotel a hospitality investment rather than a conventional home: the appeal lies in owning a share of a branded resort hotel with a well-known name, in a destination designed around golf and the sea.

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.
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.
How hotel-unit returns work
Owners of hotel units share in the income their unit generates under the hotel’s operating agreement, after operating costs. Returns are not guaranteed and depend on occupancy, room rates and the terms of the agreement, which we review with you before you buy.
Who it suits
- Investors who want a hands-off hospitality asset
- Buyers attracted by a five-star branded hotel
- Golfers who want a few weeks a year at AIDA
- Buyers who do not need a full-time home
