2 ½ hours inland from Muscat, the Alila near Jabal Akhdar is an amazing luxury oasis in a mountainous and rugged region amid some of the Middle East’s most amazing sights and scenery. Stargazing with zero light pollution, the Jabreen Castle, Jebal Sham mountains…You could spend a week here exploring historic and visual treats every day or just relaxing among the almost surreal setting.
Built from local stone but with a very contemporary design, Alila is an “All Suite” hotel with bedrooms starting at 52m2. There’s all-day dining and spa but whose body needs pampering when your mind is being so over-indulged?
I would highly recommend Alila for a three- or four-night extension to your stay on the Muscat coast.
