Marriott Residences AIDA, Oman: 0% Income Tax, 0% Capital Gains, Lifetime Residency for Investors
Why this matters
Most branded-residence deals in this catalog offer a rental yield or a brand name as the selling point. Here the tax and residency structure itself is arguably the stronger draw — a genuinely rare 0/0/0 tax combination plus a lifetime (not fixed-term) residency visa, which changes the investment calculus regardless of rental performance.
Project details
Branded residences managed by Marriott International, part of the larger AIDA master-planned resort community in Muscat — positioned roughly 130 meters above sea level on cliffs with panoramic views over the Muscat coastline, a golf course, and the Gulf of Oman. Roughly 25 minutes to Muscat International Airport.
Unit sizes and pricing: 60–194 m², 1–3 bedroom formats, from $284,055. Fully furnished, move-in ready. Completion: September 2029.
Community amenities: membership in the Trump International Golf Club Oman (also part of the AIDA master plan — Trump Hotel Oman AIDA, by the same developer, sits within the same community, though we don't have separately verified pricing/unit data for that specific hotel), a cliff-edge infinity pool, a modern fitness center, 24/7 gated security, and coastal walking/cycling trails.
Tax and residency package (Oman-wide investor benefits, not specific to this one project): 0% personal income tax, 0% capital gains tax, 0% inheritance tax, 100% foreign ownership permitted, and a lifetime residency visa for investors in ITC-designated projects like AIDA.
Product positioning, stated plainly by the developer: this is explicitly not a hotel room or investment-rental unit — it is a full branded residence intended for personal use, a second home, or long-term capital preservation, with Marriott services available on request rather than a structured rental-income program.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an income-generating investment or a residence for personal use?
The developer states this plainly: Marriott Residences AIDA is not a hotel room or investment-rental unit. It's a full branded residence for personal use, a second home, or long-term capital preservation — Marriott hotel-level services are available on request, but there's no structured rental-income program described for this specific product.
What tax benefits come with buying in Oman?
0% personal income tax, 0% capital gains tax, and 0% inheritance tax nationwide, plus 100% foreign property ownership and a lifetime residency visa for investors in ITC (Integrated Tourism Complex) projects such as AIDA.
Who is the developer?
DAR Global. The same company also develops Trump Hotel Oman AIDA within the same master-planned community, sharing amenities such as the Trump International Golf Club Oman.
