Welcome to Zen Residences, Muscat Bay: Your Oasis within Muscat Bay
Zen Residences is developed by Zen Development and Investment, an Omani developer of residential and commercial properties. The company’s brand is built on innovation, harmony and environmental stewardship, and its projects aim to blend modern living with the natural surroundings.
The project has five buildings (Z1 to Z5) set within a peaceful, gated enclave. It offers studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and lofts. Shared amenities are designed for every family member, from young children to active adults.
The design philosophy is simple: contemporary comfort meets calm surroundings. The brochure sums it up in five words: peacefulness, serenity, harmony, simplicity and comfort.
Prime Location: Muscat Bay, Oman’s Premier Resort Village
Muscat Bay sits in a natural cove between the mountains and the Gulf of Oman. It is a residential haven away from the city’s rush, yet still close to Muscat’s key destinations. Neighbours include Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel, and Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah.
| Destination | Approx. travel time from Zen Residences |
|---|---|
| Muscat Bay beach | 2 minutes |
| Ruwi Commercial Hub | 10 minutes |
| Al Alam Palace | 15 minutes |
| Bandar Al Khairan natural wonders | Under 15 minutes |
| Muscat International Airport | Under 40 minutes |
That means you can live by the sea and in nature, while the city’s business district, heritage sites and the airport stay within easy reach.
The Residences: A Home for Every Stage of Life
Every residence is designed to suit the natural beauty of Muscat Bay, with layouts built for comfort, convenience and good looks. Each unit type comes in two layout options, Type A and Type B.
| Unit type | Area (approx.) | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 59 m² | Singles, first-time buyers, rental investors |
| One bedroom | 85 m² | Couples and young professionals |
| Two bedroom | 129 m² | Small families |

| Loft, Type A | 112 m² | Buyers who want two-level, minimalist living |
| Loft, Type B | 260 m² | Families who entertain, with a private rooftop terrace |
The lofts stand out. Type A lofts pair modern living with calm simplicity across two levels. Type B lofts are much larger: two spacious levels with generous bedrooms, a bright living area and a rooftop terrace made for hosting family and friends.
Floor plans and areas are approximate and may change at the developer’s discretion.
