Home Construction Styles in Oman

Oman, officially known as the Sultanate of Oman, is located on the coast of the Arabian Sea towards the southeastern tip of the peninsula.

It sits between three much larger countries, namely United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen which makes its location strategically important. Oman, which is currently under absolute monarchy is divided into 11 muhafazah’s, essential governorates which are further segregated into Wilayats or provinces.

With sizable oil reserves, Oman has been recognized as an important trading and economic hotspot. It also attracts tourists from across the globe as it possesses one of the most diverse and unspoiled landscapes in the middle eastern region.

UNESCO recognized World Heritage Sites, Bahla Fort, Archaeological Sites of Bat, Al-Khutm and Al-Ayn, Land of Frankincense and Falaj irrigation systems have been of fond interest to history enthusiasts whereas local events and festivals such as the Tour of Oman and Bidiyah Challenges call upon adventure seekers alike.

If you are looking for purchasing a house in this one of a kind country, here are the common housing styles to choose from:

Villas Construction Styles in Oman

With beautiful architecture playing on the Portuguese and Islamic influences with a neoclassical design, villas are the most sought-after residential properties in Oman for renting as well as buying.

This type of housing is best suited for large families as it is common to find three generations living together in a cluster of homes or villas.

Most villas are 3+ BHK’s and will come with attached and ample parking space, often covered. Spacious patio and garden spaces with lush surroundings and lavish amenities make the deal more luxurious.

One of the other advantages of such villas is their affordability which enables even middle-class Omanis or newly-wed couples to make an investment, albeit with some low-cost housing loans. The cheap labor in the country makes the house better maintained than its western counterparts.

However, villas are usually populated with local Omanis with their wealth and the Arab tradition for relatives to live close to one another which might lead to outsider influx being frowned upon.

These properties can act as great investments or as the perfect retirement home to splurge on because of the high and consistent property appreciation although those looking for a shorter tryst with Oman may not see much sense in the same.

Compound Style Homes

The booming Omani economy paved the way for a stream of foreign workers and ex-pats which created the need for a higher quantity of housing. This led to the development of “compound” which is essentially a collection of homes within a gated setting.

It is often found that different compounds have a mix of a cosmopolitan crowd or may contain people from a single nation, social group, or caste.

The walled enclosure along with premium amenities such as a common swimming pool, play areas, restaurant, shops, sports grounds, and gymnasiums makes this style of housing the preferred accommodation for many. Few compounds have also been recognized as Integrated Tourist Complexes ('ITC') for ex-pat living.

However, the downside of these compound style homes is that they are often unfurnished with traditional Arab-style architecture which may not suit many as it can make residents feel as if they are in a claustrophobic ‘clubby´ atmosphere that separates them from the rest.

The range of facilities being provided also largely depends on the size of the compound. The rapidly developing Omani economy might bring in more foreign worker influx which can invest in a compound a sound investment choice to earn a rental income from.

Apartments in Oman

These are higher in number as compared to compounds and similarly, the apartment-style housing in Oman primarily sees a foreign crowd. These apartments are the most affordable compared to the previous two housing styles.

Even though apartments are individual and modern units within a large building, they are found to be comfortably spacious, and most new constructions are equipped with underground car parking facilities.

However, there are few pain points to such an accommodation such as the lack of extensive facilities often found in compound style homes and fewer English-speaking crowd. The potential for property appreciation is hence low if compared to others in this list.

The affordability and availability of these apartments though make it a great accommodation choice for bachelors and students.

Serviced Apartments in Oman

Serviced apartments also referred to as hotel apartments, are upmarket properties that gel commercial as well as residential units. These spaces are attached to business ventures like shopping units or offices and are fully furnished and serviced which reduces the hassle to maintain them.

Residents can enjoy covered parking spaces and lounge areas and also avail amenities such as gymnasium and pool on the payment of a fee. The appreciation for such a property is high due to its strategic location and lavish facilities which can fetch decent rental income.
