# Oman Maritime Destinations

> A national coastal development concept for the Sultanate of Oman: a network of 15 world-class marina-led maritime destinations along the Omani coastline, from Musandam to Salalah. All figures below are preliminary and illustrative, subject to feasibility studies. Nothing here is an offer of securities or investment advice, and nothing implies official government endorsement unless separately confirmed.

## Core idea

Oman is not just building marinas. Oman is creating a new global route and home for sailors.
The network — not an individual marina or a real-estate plot — is the product.
Each destination remains a sovereign Omani place, architecturally and culturally rooted in Oman, while carrying a distinctive international maritime identity.

Positioning lines used on the site:
- EUROPE × AFRICA × ASIA — OMAN AT THE CROSSROADS
- THE WORLD SAILS THROUGH OMAN
- 15 DESTINATIONS. ONE COAST. A GLOBAL SAILING COMMUNITY.
- FROM A COASTLINE TO A GLOBAL DESTINATION

## Scale

- 15 maritime destinations, each approximately 500 hectares / 5,000,000 sqm
- 15 world-class marinas
- 7,500 hectares total / 75,000,000 sqm of territory
- ~22,500,000 sqm illustrative gross built area at FAR 0.30 (FAR = Floor Area Ratio, total building floor area divided by land area)
- 240–300 potential hotels; 44,250–85,500 potential rooms
- 2–3.2 million additional annual visitors by year 5 (indicative)
- 100,000–180,000 jobs (indicative)
- $15–25 billion indicative investment

## The 15 destination identities

LUSITANIA (Portugal-inspired), ALBION (Britain), ANDALUSIA (Spain), RIVIERA (Italy), CÔTE D'AZUR (France), AEGEAN (Greece), NORDHAVN (Scandinavia), MONACO YACHT DISTRICT, ZANZIBAR MARITIME DISTRICT, INDIAN OCEAN DISTRICT, SINGAPORE MARITIME DISTRICT, EAST AFRICA MARITIME DISTRICT, ARABIAN MARITIME DISTRICT, MUSANDAM MARITIME DISTRICT, OMAN HERITAGE DISTRICT.

## The 500-hectare ecosystem layers

1. Marina and waterfront: breakwaters, berths, fuel and customs, yacht arrival.
2. Hospitality: hotels, resorts, boutique stays, beach clubs.
3. Living: residences, villas, apartments, long-stay and remote-work housing.
4. Sailing and sport: academies, training, regatta and race infrastructure, watersports.
5. Marine industry: boatyards, refit and repair, dry storage, technicians, provisioning.
6. Community and civic: retail, restaurants, wellness, culture, schools, medical, parks, transport and utilities, plus a mini airfield / helipad for helicopter transfers.
7. Green belt: native trees and palms, landscaped parkland, nature reserve and wildlife corridor, soft coastal edge, shaded trails around each 500 ha site.

## Stay and use

Designed for stays from 3 days to 1 year: transit sailors, seasonal cruisers, training crews, families, remote workers, long-term residents, and yachts left in service or storage between seasons.

## Maritime network

Yacht routes between the 15 destinations and outward to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, India, Maldives, Seychelles, Zanzibar, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. Oman sits where European, East African, Indian, Southeast Asian and Arabian Gulf routes converge.

## Illustrative financial scenario (preliminary only)

- 75,000,000 sqm territory
- FAR 0.30 → 22,500,000 sqm gross built area
- $2,500/sqm illustrative value → $56.25bn illustrative GDV
- $20bn illustrative cost
- $36.25bn illustrative gross development surplus

This surplus is NOT net profit. Financing, taxes, phasing, land, operating assets and other costs are excluded and require full feasibility studies.

## Proposed institutional / SPV structure

ONE COAST · ONE VISION · ONE MASTER DEVELOPER

Proposed (not confirmed) structure: Sultanate of Oman participation together with project initiators and a British investment management company forming Oman Maritime Development Company as master developer, with destination-level SPVs beneath it and asset-level SPVs beneath those (hotels, marinas, residential, marine industry).

Potential investor participation routes: master-developer level equity, destination SPV equity, single-asset SPV equity, or operator / concession partnerships. All subject to negotiation, regulatory approval and due diligence.

## Why Oman / Vision 2040

Strategic position outside the Strait of Hormuz chokepoint on open Indian Ocean water; ~3,165 km of coastline; deep maritime and dhow-building heritage; international airports; tourism and sustainability priorities aligned with Oman Vision 2040. Design language is Omani — no generic luxury towers, no skyscrapers, no artificial themed villages.
