Yenkit Resort Community

This was a detailed master plan and urban design controls for a major new resort community located in a tourism development area.  The site stretches along the coast south of Muscat, embracing s an area of some 9.5 sq. km extending both sides of Khawr Yenkit, while its southern boundary is the new strategic tourist route to Quriyat.

We provided detailed site planning and visualization of a comprehensive community for a population of around 12,000 people.  Our urban design  incorporates a town centre together with four major 5-star hotels with approximately 1,000 rooms, apartments and villas, a championship golf course and community and tourist facilities.

The community is planned as a model resort based on principles of sustainable development and sound urban planning informed by Omani traditions. We sought to build upon the great Arabic Islamic heritage while adding new influences from historic European and American sources.Client: Yenkit Tourism Development LLC
