(PRESS RELEASE) MUSCAT, Oman, 2025-Jul-24 — /Travel PR News/ — IHG Hotels & Resorts announced a new management agreement with Golden Group Holding for the launch of voco Al Mouj Muscat, its first voco resort in Oman. Slated to open in Q4 2025, this 251‑room beachfront retreat will strengthen IHG’s premium presence in the Sultanate.
Nestled within Al Mouj Muscat—a sophisticated waterfront enclave boasting luxury residences, a yacht marina, a championship golf course, and upscale boutiques—the resort will welcome both business and leisure guests. Its central location provides seamless access to Muscat International Airport and key cultural sites, aligning with Oman’s dynamic hospitality growth.
Since its 2018 debut, the voco brand has become IHG’s fastest‑expanding premium line, celebrated for fusing each hotel’s unique character with the reassurance of a global brand. Upon opening, voco Al Mouj Muscat will join over 100 operational voco properties worldwide, with nearly 95 more in the pipeline.
Haitham Mattar, Managing Director for India, Middle East & Africa at IHG, commented, “We’re thrilled to introduce voco to Oman alongside Golden Group Holding. Al Mouj Muscat epitomizes contemporary lifestyle destinations, and voco’s relaxed elegance and high‑end service dovetail perfectly with Vision 2040’s tourism and economic diversification goals.”
Sheikh Salem Al Ghazal, Chairman of Golden Group Holding, added, “Collaborating with IHG to bring voco to Oman marks a pivotal step in elevating Muscat’s hospitality offerings. voco’s casual sophistication and global standards will capture the spirit of Al Mouj and appeal to travellers worldwide.”
When it opens later this year, voco Al Mouj Muscat will feature 251 stylish rooms and suites, five dining venues—including an all‑day restaurant, specialty eatery, and lobby lounge—plus three meeting rooms, a spa, pool, fitness center, business center, barber shop, and ample parking for a comprehensive premium experience.
IHG currently operates nine hotels across five brands in Oman—Six Senses, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, and Holiday Inn—and has three additional properties under development for the next three to five years.
