What makes DarGlobal special.

Property types ApartmentsBranded residencesVillasHospitality
Price segment Luxury to ultra-luxury

Signature style

DarGlobal specialises in branded luxury residences — homes co-created with global hospitality and lifestyle names and placed on rare clifftop, coastal or golf-front sites. In Oman this translates into the Trump- and Marriott-branded offerings inside AIDA.

Payment plans

AIDA homes are sold off-plan with construction-linked instalments. For non-resident buyers, DarGlobal also runs a dedicated Islamic housing-finance programme with a partner Omani bank — the first such product available to non-residents purchasing in an Oman ITC.

THE HONEST VIEW

Strengths & considerations.

Where DarGlobal shines
  • Branded luxury exposure — homes tied to the Trump and Marriott names, an advantage on resale and short-let
  • A publicly listed developer (LSE · DAR) with market disclosure and corporate oversight
  • AIDA is a designated ITC with 100% foreign freehold — open to buyers of any nationality
  • A purchase from OMR 200,000 can qualify the buyer for Oman's 10-year investor (Golden) residency
Worth considering
  • Luxury-to-ultra-luxury pricing — a high entry point versus mainstream Muscat stock
  • AIDA is delivered in phases with off-plan handovers in 2028–2030 — it calls for patient capital
  • Demand and resale lean on branded-resort positioning, which can be more cyclical than mid-market housing

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions about DarGlobal.

Who is DarGlobal?+

DarGlobal PLC is an international luxury real-estate developer listed on the London Stock Exchange (ticker DAR), founded in 2017 as the international arm of Saudi Arabia's Dar Al Arkan Group. It builds branded residences in partnership with names such as the Trump Organization, Marriott, Aston Martin and Versace, and in Oman is the master-developer of AIDA in Muscat.

What is AIDA and who develops it?+

AIDA is a 4.3-million-sqm clifftop city set around 130 metres above the Gulf of Oman, master-developed by DarGlobal together with OMRAN, Oman's tourism development company. It brings together the Trump International Resort & Golf Club, Marriott Residences and several branded villa and apartment communities on a single promontory near Muscat Bay.

Can foreigners buy property in AIDA?+

Yes. AIDA is a designated Integrated Tourism Complex (ITC), and Oman grants 100% freehold ownership inside ITCs to buyers of any nationality. Title is registered in the buyer's name, and purchases are typically protected by an escrow account during construction.

Does buying in AIDA give residency in Oman?+

An investment of OMR 200,000 or more in an eligible Oman property can qualify the buyer for the country's 10-year investor (Golden) residency, which can include first-degree family members. The visa is tied to continued ownership of the qualifying property.

What taxes apply to a DarGlobal property in Oman?+

Oman levies no personal income tax and no annual property tax on individuals, and there is no capital-gains tax on personal property sales — one reason branded-residence rental returns are attractive on a net basis. Buyers should still budget for one-off registration and transaction fees.

When will AIDA's projects be delivered?+

AIDA is delivered in phases, with core infrastructure targeted for completion around 2027 and the Trump International hotel scheduled to open in December 2028. The branded villa and apartment communities offered on Palmera carry off-plan handovers in the 2028–2030 window.
