Nizwa and Al Hajar Mountains, Oman

Anantara Jabal Akhdar

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

Lofty heights in the Hajar Mountains

An elevated experience amid the mountains

Set atop the limestone Jabal Akhdar and overlooking a vast, rocky canyon in the Hajar Mountains, this resort has some of the finest views in all of Oman. Every one of its 115 bedrooms looks out over the chasms below, with balconies made for lounging to soak up the mountain scenery. Bathrooms offer your own private spa, with bathtubs surrounded by marble, rainfall showers and double sinks, but for a really relaxing experience make use of the hammam suite and locally-made rose water products in the wellness centre.

There’s all-day dining that makes the most of the mountain views, a courtyard cafe, a cosy shisha bar and a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant right on the cusp of the canyon. But for a truly special experience, there are tailor-made private dining experiences for every occasion. Sustainability is key here, as the property blends in naturally with its rocky surroundings, and they prioritise thoughtful policies around sourcing and single-use plastics, meaning your experience has the lowest impact possible.

Places to combine Anantara Jabal Akhdar with

Muscat

The Chedi Muscat

Traditional Arabic design meets contemporary chic at the Chedi Muscat. Sitting in prime position overlooking the Gulf of Oman, this sprawling property is an oasis of luxury in the country’s capital.

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.
