MUSCAT -- Work is well under way on one of Oman's most exclusive resort developments -- the ultra luxury Maisons Cheval Blanc on Al Sodah Island off Dhofar Governorate, according to a top official of the project's promoters. Muriya, a joint venture of Orascom Development Holding, Switzerland (70 per cent) and the wholly government owned tourism development company, Omran (30 per cent), is overseeing the implementation of the signature resort scheme, billed as the only one of its kind in the Middle East.
"Al Sodah Island Resort is possibly the least known but the most interesting of our projects," said Chandra Lahiri, CEO of Muriya Tourism Development. "This island is a little next to the Halaniyat Islands right in the middle of the ocean. What we are building here is an extremely high-end luxury hotel operated by the Cheval Blanc Group from the prestigious LVMH stable. There are only 3 or 4 such resorts anywhere in the world, and this will be the only one of its kind in this part of the world."
