Work underway on Oman luxury resort
Luxury resort is being developed by Muriya and Omran
Work is well under way on the luxury Maisons Cheval Blanc on Al Sodah Island off Dhofar Governorate in Oman, a top official at the project’s promoters has said.
Muriya, a joint venture of Orascom Development Holding, Switzerland and the wholly government owned tourism development company, Omran are overseeing the implementation of the signature resort scheme. The project has been billed as the first of its kind in the Middle East.
“Al Sodah Island Resort is possibly the least known but the most interesting of our projects,” said Chandra Lahiri, CEO of Muriya Tourism Development.
“This island next to the Halaniyat Islands right in the middle of the ocean. What we are building here is an extremely high-end luxury hotel operated by the Cheval Blanc Group from the prestigious LVMH stable. There are only three or four such resorts anywhere in the world, and this will be the only one of its kind in this part of the world.”
The super-luxury resort is set on a virgin beachfront tract covering an area of around 480,000m2. All 20 guest pavilions units and 12 chalets will be designed, built and equipped keeping in mind the style and class of the Cheval Blanc brand.
