Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort

Authentic experiences, unique luxury and pleasant temperatures all year round: the Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort is enthroned on the legendary "Green Mountain". With its location at 2,000 meters, it is one of the highest resorts in the world. Around two hours' drive from Oman's capital Muscat, the journey takes you past date plantations, dry riverbeds and historic fortresses. The architecture of these fortresses is reflected in the resort. Inside, the contemporary interior ensures perfect harmony. The resort has 82 rooms with breathtaking views of the canyon and 33 villas with private pools overlooking the cliffs or tucked away in an exotic garden. Guests have the choice of one or two bedrooms or the exclusive three-bedroom Royal Mountain Villa. Each villa features state-of-the-art facilities and a spacious living area.

With a choice of six restaurants and lounges, gourmets are guaranteed to want for nothing. The offer ranges from Italian-inspired delicacies to dishes with aromatic Asian spices and international classics - a culinary journey around the world. The Royal Edge offers the ultimate experience: a romantic candlelit meal is served on a glass platform above the gorge.

Highlights of the resort include an infinity pool on the cliff edge, a kids' and teens' club and the world-famous Anantara Spa, including a hammam, five treatment suites and two indoor Jacuzzis.
