Alila Jabal Akhdar

Name: Alila Jabal Akhdar
Address: Nizwa and Al Hajar Mountains

Mountain-top bliss

A modern fortress of superb hospitality

This cliff-top resort is a haven like no other: inspired by the ancient fortresses that once protected these mountains, using traditional wooden rafters and doors and Arabic motifs, it blends historic architecture with modern luxury. Set 2,000 metres above the sea, breathtaking views abound from its 78 bedrooms and suites, each of which are accented with traditional Omani art and crafts.

Connection with the surrounding land and community is at the heart of this property, with rainwater collection for watering its lush kitchen gardens, to a sophisticated filtration system for drinking water, eliminating the need for single-use plastic. Here, you can engage with local customs and culture, exploring local villages or getting your thrills while trying the mountains’ adventure sports.

Arabic-inspired cuisine is on the menu here, with fresh, seasonal and local produce at the heart of every meal, and you can opt to indulge under the stars or above the cliffs with various private dining options.

Places to combine Alila Jabal Akhdar with

Salalah and Empty Quarter

Alila Hinu Bay

Sitting on the southwest coast of Oman where brilliant white-sand beaches are lapped by the soft waves of the Arabian Sea, Alila Hinu Bay has an enviable position. Relax by the perfectly still pool or choose a lounger on the beach where nearby fishing boats bob in the crystalline waters.

Alila’s architecture is striking: minimalist and modern but with Arabic influence, you’ll find perfectly-curved archways alongside crisp lines and clean, neutral colours which complement the desert landscape around you. Inside its 112 bedrooms, soft gowns and deep tubs add personal luxury, and outside are views of the rugged rocks or dreamy Arabian sea.

Unique experiences abound at this hotel, with private desert dining and local explorations of ancient fishing villages, markets and the lofty heights of Jabal Samhan. For those seeking a little more serenity, head to the frankincense-filled halls of the spa, where treatments are tailored to your needs and local ingredients offer healing properties.

Muscat

Jumeirah Muscat Bay

Settings rarely get more spectacular than at Jumeirah Muscat Bay: a glittering Arabian Sea stretches out ahead of the property, which has 206 rooms each with their own view of the ocean, while the rugged Al Hajar mountains rise up behind the hotel, creating a sense of total privacy in this little corner of the Omani coastline.

Wahiba Sands

Desert Nights Camp

Desert Nights Camp promises evenings of seclusion and starry skies, set amid the rusty orange dunes of the Omani desert.

Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve

Stay right in the heart of the action at the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve’s own hotel, where simple but cosy bedrooms offer a place to lay your head after watching the region’s most famous reptiles in their natural habitat.
