Muscat: More than 500 people can enjoy the beach club at Muscat Hills Resort when it opens for all on November 2, a senior official at Muscat Hills said on Thursday.
Speaking exclusively to the Times of Oman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Muscat Hills Group, His Highness Sayyid Al Rawy Kais Al Said, stated: “We are actually trying to develop the Muscat Hills Resort as a tourism and hospitality spot, offering various activities in one location, such as water sports, rooms and food and beverages services. In the future we will add many recreation facilities, such as a golf club, tennis court, boating, and scuba diving.”
The resort located at what was earlier called the Oman Dive Centre is all set to provide wholesome entertainment to the people. “The place will also host weddings, receptions and corporate meetings after it opens for the public,” Al Said revealed.
The dive centre has long been a popular spot for tourists and Muscat residents. “At the moment, the whole place is undergoing major renovation,” he said, adding that it will be the first beach club concept in Oman.
He also said preparatory work for the new five star Muscat Hills Intercontinental Hotel Resort and Spa has also started near the airport. “And we plan to complete the project by 2018 or 2019,” Al Said added.
The hotel will feature about 250 guest rooms, leisure facilities with swimming pools and spa facilities with an enhanced club house, gymnasium and treatment rooms, restaurants, a ballroom and fully equipped meeting facilities and enhanced business services.
