The Most Spectacular Hotels in Oman
Alila Jabal Akhdar
Escape to the cooler climates of the Al Hajar mountains. This hotel looks over a gorge and miles of rugged untouched natural landscapes. The Alila Jabal Akhdar hotel was built, in keeping with the surroundings, from local stone. The interior has a contemporary design with natural colours while the décor celebrates Omani heritage and culture. If you chose to visit the area, be sure to plan your trip with a 4x4 as the routes are often little more than dirt tracks.
Thousand Nights Camp
Experience a night in the desert Bedouin-style. At the Thousand Nights Camps you can stay in sand houses or traditional tents with various levels of luxury. The camp offers an authentic experience with storytelling around the fire in the evenings, Omani coffee preparation, and a range of adventures in the sand dunes. Be bedazzled by the starry desert sky and let your worries be carried off with the song of the desert winds.
Al Baleed Resort by Anatara
This hotel welcomes families with open arms and provides a plethora of activities for kids including camel riding and cooking classes. Located in Salalah, the hotel is a great vantage point to discover the mountains, wadis, and beaches of the Governorate of Dhofar from. The hotel has the gentle waves of the Arabian Sea to one side, a freshwater lagoon to the other and an infinity pool in the middle to cool off in.
Six Senses Zighy Bay
The six senses Zighy Bay is reachable by speedboat, 4x4 or – if you want to make your arrival memorable - you could also paraglide in. The hotel is located on Oman's northern Musandam Peninsula nestled between sandy beaches and rugged mountains. The resort is built in a village-setup with private villas all equipped either with beach access or a private pool. This hotel is a top-pick if you are seeking tranquillity and relaxation.
Al Bustan Palace
Only a short drive out of the center of Muscat, the Al Bustan Palace is an oasis of luxury. The hotel has three restaurants serving a range international cuisine, a large spa with a ladies only area, the longest private beach in Muscat, and an infinity pool overlooking the Sea of Oman. Enjoy afternoon tea in the atrium tea lounge, aperitifs at the beach pavilion or a refreshing beverage at the pool bar BLU
