Ahmed Dabbous, CEO of Muriya, said, “The establishment of Wateera is another step towards ensuring that homeowners continue to benefit from solid returns on their investments in our destination. We are satisfied with the performance of our hotels, which have continued to attract growing numbers of visitors to Hawana Salalah, with over 82,000 hotel guests in 2016 alone, and enjoy over 85% occupancy levels during most months of the year, this has created an overflow of demand for apartment rental in our project. Wateera represents the unique synergy between tourism and real estate that has continued to attract residents, tourists and investors from all over the world to Oman.”
He added, “Hawana Salalah’s ecological versatility and diversity in retail, hospitality, and entertainment options has made it the ideal destination for prospective homeowners from key source markets in Europe, the Indian subcontinent, and the GCC. With Wateera, we are offering them a gateway to one of the Middle East’s fastest growing destinations replete with opportunities to secure strong returns on their investment.”
Hawana Salalah’s attractive rental opportunities continue to provide cost effective and premium housing units. Homeowners and tenants will join a fully self-sufficient and multi-national community, with homeowner benefit cards allowing them to enjoy discounts to a wide range of dining, entertainment, and leisure facilities throughout the destination.
Renowned as the premier destination in the heart of Oman’s southernmost Governorate, Hawana Salalah is home to three upscale hotels comprising the 400-room 5-star Salalah Rotana Resort, the 302-room 5-star Fanar Hotel & Residences, the 87-room 4-star Juweira Boutique Hotel, as well as the recently launched Souly Lodge which features 15 beach-front huts built entirely with natural elements.
