Amour sans Détour 2

Amour sans Détour 2 is the second release of attached villas at AIDA, the gated community DarGlobal is building with OMRAN, the Oman Tourism Development Company, on the cliffs above Yiti and Yenkit in Muscat. From the villas it is a minute by car to the Nikki Beach Resort & Spa site, two minutes to Yiti Beach and five to Yenkit Beach. Muscat Bay is seven minutes away, downtown Muscat about twenty and Muscat International Airport forty-five.

The launch has fifty-two homes, all with three bedrooms on a ground and a first floor. Every villa has 91 to 92 square metres of built area, while the plots range from 104 to 191 square metres, so what sets one villa apart from the next is mostly the land that comes with it. The villas are handed over unfurnished.

The finishes are the same in every villa. Windows are double glazed, a concrete wall closes the sides and the rear of the plot, and the driveway is laid in concrete pavers. Inside, floors and skirtings are porcelain, walls are plastered and painted, and ceilings are gypsum. The kitchen comes fitted, with a solid-surface countertop, lacquered or laminate cabinets, a stainless steel sink, a fridge, a hood, a cooker and a combined washer-dryer.

DarGlobal sells on two payment plans. Both take 30% at booking and 10% on completion. In between, the milestone plan takes six payments of 10%, at 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 and 42 months, and the monthly plan takes 2% a month for 30 months. VAT of 5% is added to each payment. Buyers' payments go into the project's escrow account at the National Bank of Oman, and completion is planned for December 2030.

AIDA is an Integrated Tourism Complex, so buyers of any nationality can own their villa outright.
