Freehold villas and townhouses for sale in Muscat: Sarooj Villas and Hay Al Wafa at Sultan Haitham City, Aida at Yiti, and Jebel Sifah.
Freehold villas and townhouses for sale in Muscat, from Sultan Haitham City to Yiti and Jebel Sifah, priced from live developer inventory.
A foreign buyer of any nationality can own a villa outright in Muscat, provided it sits inside a government approved Integrated Tourism Complex or the new Sultan Haitham City district in Al Seeb. The title is full freehold, registered at the Ministry of Housing, and it can be resold or inherited. Villa stock in the capital region is far smaller than the apartment stock and sits in four places: Sarooj Villas and Hay Al Wafa inside Sultan Haitham City, Aida on the headland above Yiti, and the standalone villas at Jebel Sifah.
Current stock spans three and four bedroom townhouses at Hay Al Wafa, four to six bedroom villas at Sarooj Villas, standalone villas at Jebel Sifah, and sea facing villas at Aida. The listing grid above draws its availability and asking prices directly from live developer inventory. A purchase at or above OMR 200,000 also meets the current threshold for the 10 year Oman Golden Residency, and below that figure ownership still supports the renewable property owner residency. Oman charges no annual property tax. From 1 January 2028, personal income tax applies at 5% to annual taxable income above OMR 42,000, including rent.
Yes. Any nationality can take full freehold title to a villa inside an Integrated Tourism Complex or at Sultan Haitham City, the two categories every villa on this page belongs to. The deed is registered at the Ministry of Housing and the property can be resold or passed on to heirs.
The live minimum and current asking prices appear in the listing grid on this page. It is built directly from developer inventory, so it shows what is actually available rather than a price typed into the page copy.
Three districts hold the four projects: Sultan Haitham City in Al Seeb, where Sarooj Villas and Hay Al Wafa sit, Yiti, where Aida looks over the bay, and Jebel Sifah down the coast, which has a small run of standalone villas beside the marina.
A purchase at or above OMR 200,000 meets the current threshold for the 10 year Golden Residency, which covers your spouse and children. A villa below that figure still qualifies you for the renewable property owner residency that lasts as long as you hold the property.
A townhouse shares side walls and sits on a smaller plot, which is why it is the cheaper way into a house in Sultan Haitham City. A standalone villa gives you the full plot, more bedrooms and, at Aida and Jebel Sifah, a sea or marina outlook. Resale demand in the capital is strongest for three and four bedroom homes in both formats.
