Culinary
Grilled specialties from the Middle East, Asian flavors, or Italian delicacies – embark on a culinary journey in four elegantly designed restaurants. The day begins in the main restaurant Al Maisan, adorned with ornate decorations, with an extensive breakfast. You can also return here for dinner and, if desired, enjoy your meal on the panoramic terrace with mountain views. Similar vistas are offered by the lunch restaurant Bella Vista, which greets you with glass transparency and Italian cuisine in the pool area. Authentic Omani cuisine and fresh specialties from the Gulf of Oman are served at Al Qalaa, while exotic cocktails and shisha await you at Al Burj.
Activities
With relatively mild summer temperatures, the mountain ranges of Jabal al-Akhdar present themselves as an ideal territory for recreational athletes. Whether climbing the rock faces or on extended hikes or mountain bike tours – get active and experience the peaks from ever new perspectives. Back at the accommodation, the spa lures with oriental hammam ceremonies or Asian-inspired massages. While adults can exert themselves on the hotel's own tennis court, the youngest guests are entertained in the kids' club. Hobby cooks and gourmets have the opportunity to be initiated into the secrets of oriental cuisine on site, a lovely souvenir with culinary added value.
Rooms
The rooms, suites, and villas of the resort combine luxurious comfort with the dramatic backdrop of the Omani highlands. Warm colors, Arabic design elements, and high-quality materials create an elegant yet cozy atmosphere. Expansive windows and balconies offer spectacular views into the gorges and over the plateau. The suites offer additional living areas, while the villas with private pools, secluded terraces, and ample space provide the highest level of privacy. An extraordinary living experience that harmoniously combines nature, expansiveness, and stylish exclusivity.
Location
Not far from the city of Nizwa and about 180 km from the capital Muscat, you will discover not only one of the highest luxury accommodations in the world amidst the Jabal al-Akhdar mountains but also a true oasis of tranquility for nature lovers. You can only reach the accommodation via steep access routes using suitable all-terrain vehicles. The view of the deep canyons of the mountain peaks rising up to 2,900 meters is ever-present here, and even in the summer months, the climate is noticeably more pleasant than in the desert landscape of the valley. The terraced gardens provide a beautiful contrast to the imposing rocks. Astronomically interested guests benefit from the sparkling starry sky with easily visible celestial bodies.
