Jumeirah Muscat Bay

Jumeirah Group opens first luxury resort in Oman

Jumeirah Muscat Bay now welcomes its guests and offers an oasis of calm, exceptional cuisine and the perfect setting to discover adventurous Oman.

Nestled in the secluded bay of Bandar Jissah between the Hajar Mountains and the Gulf of Oman, just 15 minutes from the capital Muscat, Jumeirah Muscat Bay offers a true sense of calm and relaxation. With the sea, the mountains and the historic city on its doorstep, it is the ideal place to unwind and spend glorious days on the beach, experience nature and explore it with special experiences or discover the rich history of the Sultanate.

The 206 spacious rooms and suites all offer breathtaking views of the ocean. Connecting rooms are also available for the perfect family vacation. In addition, five secluded two-bed and four-bed summer cottages and the exceptional Sanctuary Villa offer the ultimate guest experience, each with a private pool, dedicated butler service and access to an exclusive private beach. The modern, arabesque design of the entire resort focuses on the natural beauty of Oman, while the interior design elegantly combines traditional Omani craftsmanship with bright and modern hotel design.

One focus of the new resort is the exceptional culinary experiences. Five different eateries are managed by Culinary Director Claudio Dieli. Including his work in several international hotels with three Michelin stars, he brings with him over 26 years of experience in international gastronomy.

Guests can indulge in interactive live cooking stations at the multi-cuisine PERIDOT restaurant by the sea, where they can sample fresh and healthy dishes from around the world. At the TARINI Lounge, which offers a tranquil refuge from the Omani sun, you can relax with an indulgent afternoon tea or enjoy tasty bites at the poolside ZUKA restaurant to round off the day. At nightfall, enjoy thirst-quenching cocktails by master mixologists, Asian specialties and an exquisite selection of cigars at the intimate ANZO bar and terrace with breathtaking views of the bay. The BREZZA restaurant, due to open in September, will offer a cool, modern ambience with the best views in Muscat. It will serve exquisite sharing-style seafood and stunning culinary creations by Chef de Cuisine Cristiano Goattin, an Italian-born chef with experience in Michelin-starred restaurants. Jumeirah's famous cocktails are also available in the restaurant and at the rooftop bar.

The Talise Spa creates a world of wellbeing and relaxation with therapeutic and energizing treatments tailored to guests' individual needs. There is also a hammam, sauna and steam room on two floors, while the world-renowned experts at Pedi: Mani: Cure Studio by Bastien Gonzalez will have guests walking on air for the rest of their stay.

Those looking to immerse themselves in nature and be a little more adventurous can take advantage of the numerous hikes and scenic running and cycling trails through the Hajar Mountains to discover majestic vistas and lush wadis. Guests also have access to Sunrise Beach, a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga studio and tennis court, while a PADI-certified diving and water sports center provides unforgettable memories with activities such as scuba diving, sailing and snorkeling with turtles. Parents will be pleased to hear that the kids' club offers an exciting daily program of outdoor activities, crafts, adventures and sports based on local and seasonal themes.
