Where desert, sea and mountains meet world-class hospitality: Oman's finest luxury resorts
The Chedi Muscat is the undisputed flagship of luxury hospitality in Oman and the benchmark among Oman luxury resorts. Its Japanese-inspired architecture, the legendary 103-metre Long Pool and its beachfront setting make it one of the most beautiful resorts on the entire Arabian Peninsula. ‘The Restaurant’ is one of the best fine-dining addresses in Muscat. Particularly recommended: the Chedi Club rooms with private pool access. Pink Travel recommends the Chedi as the ideal first and last stop on an Oman tour.
The Six Senses Zighy Bay, in the bay of the same name on the Musandam Peninsula, offers one of the most spectacular resort arrivals in the world: you reach it either by paraglider from above, by boat through the fjord or by jeep across the mountains. What awaits you is as dramatic as the journey: 82 pool villas nestled gently into the hillsides above the bay, a world-class spa and cuisine that combines local ingredients with international craftsmanship. The Six Senses Zighy Bay is one of the most romantic addresses in the entire Middle East.
The Alila Jabal Akhdar sits on a rocky plateau at 2,000 metres in the Hajar Mountains and offers a breathtaking sight: the infinity pool juts out over a deep gorge, and the gorges plunge hundreds of metres into the depths. The resort is ideal as a stopover on a tour for those seeking the contrast between desert and mountains. Cool, quiet and marked by a wildness unique in Oman, the Alila Jabal Akhdar is the country's most adventurous luxury resort.
Also in the Hajar Mountains, and very close to the Alila, the Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort is a superb alternative for guests who prefer more space and a wider choice of restaurants. The ‘Moonrise Dinner’ on a platform above the canyon rim is one of the most extraordinary dining experiences in the entire Middle East. The resort also offers guided climbing tours and via ferrata routes for active guests.
The Al Bustan Palace, A Ritz-Carlton Hotel, is one of the most historically significant hotels in Muscat. Originally built as the Sultan's guest palace for visiting heads of state, it now welcomes travellers in a setting that brings Oman's royal tradition to life. Its location at the foot of the Hajar Mountains, with direct access to a private beach, is unique. As the starting point of an Oman luxury tour, it combines historic charm with modern five-star comfort.
Combine The Chedi Muscat as your start and end point with the Six Senses Zighy Bay and the Alila Jabal Akhdar as highlights in between: this way you experience three completely different landscapes and resort characters in a single Oman journey. Pink Travel plans this triangle itinerary regularly and coordinates transfers, activities and timing seamlessly.
