Agreement
Signed to Establish ALIĒ NIVAS Luxury Resort in Musandam
Dubai, 29 Apr (ONA) — Oman Tourism Development Company (OMRAN Group), in
strategic partnership with Mohsin Haider Darwish (MHD Group), has announced the
development of a hyper-luxury resort in Musandam under the brand ‘ALIĒ NIVAS’.

This
landmark project is set to elevate Oman’s tourism offering with a refined
experience that positions the Sultanate of Oman as a premier destination on the
regional and global luxury map.

This visionary development is a testament to effective public-private
partnership and aligns with national efforts to introduce innovative
hospitality concepts that blend refined luxury with nature. It caters to the
growing global demand for meaningful, immersive, and non-traditional travel
experiences.

Hashil Obaid Al Mahrouqi, CEO of OMRAN Group, commented: “This project reflects
OMRAN Group’s vision to harness Oman’s rich natural heritage in creating
high-value tourism destinations that enhance the country’s global
competitiveness. It also embodies our aspiration to be the partner of choice
for leading investors and hospitality operators, contributing to sustainable
projects with long-term socio-economic impact.”

Located amidst the untouched beauty of Musandam, ALIĒ NIVAS will feature 30
cliffside villas with sweeping sea views, delivering elevated privacy and
luxury. Dining offerings will include a Michelin-starred restaurant, delivering
world-class culinary experiences that celebrate authenticity and refinement.
Highly tailored wellness journeys will be an integral part of the retreat’s spa
concept, prioritizing private spa suites designed for undisturbed, deeply
immersive experiences.

Lujaina Mohsin Darwish, Chairperson of MHD-ITICS, stated: “This strategic
partnership with OMRAN Group is part our vision for a carefully calibrated and
impactful diversification programme. We are honoured and proud to be part of
this one-of-a-kind project, that fuses innovation, environmental stewardship,
and exceptional guest experiences, while at the same time lends to the
development of one of Oman’s most inspiring natural locations.”

The resort will be operated by Van de Bunt International (VDBI), the boutique
hospitality group behind The Outpost brand, known for curating high-end,
nature-integrated retreats in remote and inspiring destinations. In recognition
of the uniqueness of this development, the group has launched a new dedicated
brand — ALIĒ NIVAS — exclusively for this resort. This marks the brand’s debut
in Oman and its flagship status within the group’s select portfolio.
