The planned Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts is set to feature 120 rooms and suites, including one- to three-bedroom units. The entertainment offering will include a water park under the brand name “Aqua Nick” with slides and splash zones, themed dining concepts, and the children’s club “Club Nick”. The concept will be complemented by entertainment formats from the Nickelodeon universe, specifically geared toward families.
“AIDA is a milestone project poised to elevate Oman’s luxury real estate offering and drive significant economic growth. The unveiling of Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Oman within AIDA underscores our commitment to delivering unique, world-class experiences and compelling investment opportunities in Oman's thriving tourism market“, said Ziad El Chaar, CEO of DarGlobal.

We are thrilled to bring guests and residents an exciting new way to express their fandom and make long-lasting memories, seamlessly blending world-class entertainment with forward-thinking accommodation options for families and Nickelodeon enthusiasts alike.”
