MUSCAT, SULTANATE OF OMAN

An ultra-luxury resort with its own private beach near al Ghubra, The Chedi Muscat is located on an expansive 21 acres of land approximately 20 minutes from Muscat’s old city.

With 158 lavish, yet tasteful rooms and suites with views of beautifully landscaped gardens, the surrounding Hajar mountains and the picturesque Gulf, this destination attracts visitors from all over the world and we’re lucky to have it right on our doorstep – just a 45-minute flight away. A welcoming atmosphere combined with the stillness that only true opulence can provide, the resort’s dining venues include six restaurants offering five-star Arabic, Asian, Indian and Mediterranean cuisine, along with poolside outlets to while away the hours in complete bliss.

The state-of-the-art spa and fitness facility also promises guests an indulgent and tranquil experience.
