THREE-IN-ONE

This expansive resort comprises three luxurious hotels - the Al Waha, the Al Bandar and the Al Husn – located on the spectacular Barr Al Jissah Bay on the Gulf of Oman. These elegant Arabian palaces look out onto a beautiful sandy beach, with the rugged interior mountains rising dramatically behind. It’s the perfect gateway to discover a land rich in history and culture.

A LAZY RIVER

As well as the pleasures of the beach, guests can avail themselves of over 6,000 square metres of swimming pool, including a 500 metre-long ‘lazy river’, complete with floats. At the Chi Spa as well as a full range of inspiring treatments, you’ll enjoy steam rooms, saunas, jacuzzis and plunge pools to invigorate or relax. Tennis courts, a diving centre, dolphin watching and much more are on offer for guests’ entertainment.

SPOILT FOR CHOICE

Stay here for a week and you’ll be able to dine in a different restaurant every evening. The highlights might include Argentinean grills at Samba, sunset and seafood at Bait Al Bahr or the culinary treasure of the Middle East at Al Tanoor. There are six main restaurants, seven casual dining outlets and pool bars, three lobby lounges and a nightclub.

SEA VIEWS AND BALCONIES

Whichever of these three sophisticated hotels you choose, many of the rooms have spectacular and far-reaching views over the sparkling Gulf of Oman. Watch a blood red sunset from your balcony or luxuriate in an oversize bathroom. The décor is elegant and restrained, featuring the earthy tones of the desert sands, sumptuous kingsize beds and state-of-the-art appointments and facilities.
