Luxury resort with infinity pool, canyon views, and unique experiences
"Mentioned as one of several wonderful properties in the mountainous Jabal Akhdar region, offering a high-end mountain-resort experience and access to the area's hiking and canyon landscapes." - Mo Noubani
"A resort located atop a high massif offering views of the Jabal Al Akhdar canyon and fresh mountain air."
"Set in the sunburnt Al-Hajar mountains, on the rim of the Arabian Peninsula’s most outrageously beautiful canyon, is the region’s most ambitious wilderness hotel. This is Oman’s wild frontier, but this space has souped it up to the max, with chasm-facing pool villas, majlis-style courtyards, a lantern-lit outdoor hookah space, and superslick service fit for a sultan (a little jealous, perhaps, Omani premier Qaboos bin Said is building a palace on the canyon lip opposite). This being the splashy Gulf of Oman, there has to be a superlative or two: The hotel has the highest swimming pools, tennis court, and stargazing platform in the Middle East. But its real essence is pure escapism, whether dangling from a mountain while rappelling or relaxing in the impeccable spa with its energizing hammam rituals and fragrant frankincense oils. It’s a bold, almost transcendental experiment in o -the-map tourism, and at the vanguard of a growing number of Middle Eastern hotels opening in unexpected and wonderfully extreme locations. Doubles from $400."
"In Oman, Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar's in-room Slumber Guru experience goes back to basics with an essential oil-infused bath, and a massage set to soothing music."
"In Oman's Al Hajar Mountains, local "Mountain Gurus" escort guests to the farms of elder Abdullah Saif al Saqry to tour aromatic damask rose gardens and the distillery where traditional rosewater is still produced (March–May), and to harvest pomegranates in September–October on a four-acre Sayq farm—providing hands-on insight into generational farming techniques, village customs, and cross-cultural conversation." - AFAR Editors
