Dolphin Island: A future landmark

Waterfront luxury, tourism, and investment converge in the heart of Muscat.

Oman’s Most Visionary Integrated Development

Dolphin Island is an integrated island development conceived as a world-class lifestyle and leisure destination on Oman’s coastline.

Developed by Novel Muscat International LLC and located in the prestigious Al Qurum district, the project combines luxury residential units, boutique hospitality, waterfront retail, recreational facilities, and marina infrastructure within a master-planned island environment. Its distinctive masterplan brings together elegant waterfront architecture, lush landscapes, and open sea views in perfect harmony — anchored by an exclusive collection of waterfront villas, several with private marinas and jetties, contemporary residential apartments, luxury hotels, curated waterfront dining, and a dedicated island club for leisure, wellness, and entertainment. Two dedicated access routes connect the island to the mainland — a primary eastern arrival road for residents and visitors, and a secondary western route reserved for emergency and essential services — while private water taxis offer an exclusive means of coastal travel and seamless connection to nearby destinations by sea.

Designed to attract high-net-worth residents, international tourists, and global investors, Dolphin Island offers a distinctly Omani experience that is both cosmopolitan in character and deeply connected to the natural beauty of the Arabian Sea.

Strategic Significance

As part of Oman’s broader efforts to develop its tourism and real estate sectors under Vision 2040, Dolphin Island represents a strategic national asset with the potential to become a landmark destination on the Arabian Sea. The project is being developed with a focus on sustainable construction practices, sensitive integration with the surrounding marine environment, and delivery of infrastructure that meets international quality standards.

Investment Opportunity

Dolphin Island offers a rare opportunity to invest in a landmark waterfront destination in Muscat. With its exclusive island setting, premium tourism appeal, and potential for luxury residences, hospitality, marina, retail, and leisure developments, the project is positioned for strong long-term value creation.

Novel Muscat International LLC is seeking strategic investors and development partners for Phase One, offering participation in a high-potential destination designed to support Oman’s growing tourism, real estate, and investment landscape.
