Welcome to a dreamscape where sea meets structure — this two-story residential complex on Abu Musa Island draws its lifeblood from the Persian Gulf’s vibrant coral world. Yellow corals, glowing anemones, bright orange sea sponges dusted with yellow spores, and flickers of sea sapphire come to life not in the water.

Coral House speaks of a play of sensations through its elements; the exterior provides a solid form that evokes protection and privacy, with the warmth of its materials: chukum, marble, stone, concrete, and wood, inviting you to discover its interior.

At its heart, this vacation house is about creating a sanctuary where a multigenerational family can share experiences and create memories. Overlooking Maui’s southern shore with views to the ocean, mountain landscapes and other nearby islands, this home was designed to experience nature and support active lifestyles.
