Oman is the crown jewel of the Arabian Peninsula. Renowned for its blend of timeless culture and modern life. This destination is about adventure. Exploration into new tastes, culture, and heritage. If you’re after leisurely entertainment in a high-class environment, we’ve mapped the quirks that make Oman a spectacular choice.

This is why Oman will make a memorable stopover on your next long-haul flight…

Visit Oman & Find Luxury

Much of Oman’s beauty is found in the hospitality of its citizens. Known for having a warm and welcoming nature, their elegance is on full display within their stunning resorts. Namely, the Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar resort. If you’re after an elevated clash between culture and lavishness, visit Oman for an iconic stopover in Muscat and revel in the wonders of the Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar.

This resort is uniquely located on the fabled Green Mountain and sports a once-in-a-lifetime canyon landscape. Guests are accurately promised levels of relaxation thought impossible at this resort through its decadent spa and hammam rituals. Each room proudly adorns modern Omani designs alongside the latest in technology. 

What’s a luxury resort without the finest selection of restaurants? When you visit Oman, you’ll find the people proudly share Arabia’s exotic dishes and teas with visitors. At the Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar, guests will experience rich cultural tastes and flavours alongside vibrant hybrid dishes, all set over views of Oman’s breathtaking natural beauty.

The Lavish Resorts of Oman

Luxury in Oman doesn’t start and end with the Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar. The Shangri-La Al Husn and the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah are also fantastic options that will suit the respective needs of families and kid-free travellers alike as they visit Oman.

So, would you visit Oman with or without children? The Shangri-La Al Husnis is a self-proclaimed adults-only sanctuary (well, the minimum age is technically 16 years old). At this tranquil clifftop resort, guests will enjoy their own private beach with infinity pool access, the epitome of class with daily high teas, and stunning views for all.

Now, family-friendly travellers will find the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah vibrant as the ideal beachfront resort for families – and anyone looking for leisure. Here guests will enjoy Oman’s one and only Lazy River, diverse cuisine options, and interconnecting family rooms.
