All-inclusive pioneer Club Med is planning its first property in the Middle East: Club Med Musandam, a luxurious beach resort set to open in 2028 in Oman. The 300-room, Exclusive Collection resort will incorporate the culture of Oman in its design, entertainment, food & beverage, and provide guests with access to a private beach with incredible scenery.

Situated on the Arabian Peninsula overlooking the Persian Gulf and panoramic Hajar Mountains, Musandam has earned the nickname, “The Norway of Arabia,” for having the world’s only desert fjords.

Club Med Musandam will include all the amenities that Club Med guests have come to expect – gourmet dining, kids clubs, wellness experiences, adults-only area, spa, an array of land and water sports – plus the hassle-free convenience of an all-inclusive vacation.

The resort is only a five-minute boat ride from Khasab city and 2.5 hours from Dubai International Airport, making it an attractive destination for both local and international travellers.

Developed with an investment of over US$100 million, the resort marks the sixth property in Club Med’s luxurious Exclusive Collection – a portfolio of 5-star resorts, spaces, a legendary French sailing yacht, villas, and chalets.

The project is a collaboration between Club Med, Royal Court Affairs and developers Omran Group and will be eco-certified.

“The history and success of Club Med lies on its pioneer approach, strongly contributing to the development of regions and areas where it has been implementing. The project of Club Med Musandam is a key milestone as it is our first presence in the Gulf States” says Henri Giscard d’Estaing, President of Club Med.

For Oman, the development is a step toward the country’s objective of attracting 11 million tourists by 2040.
