Amazi

A private quarter of waterfront villas and chalets inside the Omani resort of Hawana Salalah: four districts across a million square metres of lagoons, with every house opening onto the water.

What this is

Amazi is the residential part of Hawana Salalah, a 13.6-million-square-metre resort in Salalah, of which 3.2 million square metres are already built up. Amazi itself covers about a million square metres of lagoons and beaches and splits into four districts: Cove, Island, Beach and Rise.

The developer is Muriya, a joint venture between Orascom and Oman's state-owned Omran. By the time the materials were issued, the resort was already operating: a 170-berth marina, 7 km of beaches, 4- and 5-star hotels with more than 1,200 rooms, a 657,600 m² water park, 21 private beach cabanas, and 750 handed-over residential units across seven projects.

Amazi's unit mix: one- and two-bedroom chalets, two-storey twin villas with two bedrooms, single-storey two-bedroom villas, single-level three-bedroom villas (in two layouts), and two-storey four-bedroom villas.

Money and payment timing

The payment plan per the fact sheet: a 10% down payment, then 7.5% every three months — at months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33 and 36. Twelve equal instalments spread over three years account for 90% of the total. The developer marks the plan as "subject to change" — verify it on the deal date.

On top of the price: a 3% registration fee and VAT, charged separately. Mortgages: available through every local bank, with Bank Dhofar the preferred lender.

Residency, rental, boats

After signing the contract and paying the deposit, the buyer receives a multiple-entry visa allowing stays of up to three months per entry. After the house is handed over and the title deed issued, the owner and first-degree relatives (parents, spouse, children) get two-year residency, renewable for as long as the property is owned. If spouses are co-borrowers, the right extends to both sets of parents.

Under current rules, renting out the unit is only allowed through a licensed legal entity; the developer has its own management company for this. The title deed is issued by the state after handover and full payment, including the service charge.

Boats are welcome in the marina, even encouraged — some owners keep their own vessels, and servicing comes at a resident discount. Discounts at the resort's restaurants and shops are also tied to owner status.

Riviera Residences next door

Amazi is not the only housing in Hawana Salalah. In Riviera Residences, an apartment quarter of the same resort, a cancellation unit came back to market in September 2026: RV36 B, one bedroom, 54 m² plus a 50 m² private garden, ground floor, sea view, USD 224,374 including VAT, handover in two years.

The payment schedule there is shorter than this one: 30% and eight instalments of 8.75% over two years, with nothing left after the keys. The full arithmetic of the unit — price per square metre, the charges on top, and what the promised 9–10% leaves out — is on that quarter's own page, linked below.

Getting there

Salalah's international airport is about 35 minutes by car from the resort. Within Amazi the emphasis is on walkability: a network of paths links the districts, and the quarter connects to the rest of Hawana Salalah by lagoon.

District composition, unit types, payment plan and resort figures — the project fact sheet and the resort fact sheet from the developer. Residency, rental, fees and mortgage terms — the developer's FAQ. Edition of the materials: the one where the launch of two boutique hotels is still described as upcoming in 2024. Figures for unit RV36 B in Riviera Residences come from the seller's sheet of 18 September 2026; the full read-through is on that quarter's page.
