Mandarin Oriental, Muscat

Set between the rugged Al Hajar Mountains and the glistening Gulf of Oman, the 5-star Mandarin Oriental, Muscat occupies a prime position in the Omani capital – removed enough to provide an oasis-like harmony yet close enough to the heart of the city for convenient cultural discovery. The hotel’s sumptuous interiors were conceived by renowned French interior designer Xavier Cartron, who has embellished the 103 rooms and 47 suites with Omani-inspired richness and subtle tones. The tasteful décor continues across the property’s five distinct dining venues, where guests may explore flavours inspired by places such as the Italian peninsula and the ancient Silk Road. In keeping with its harmonious setting, the hotel promotes a sense of wellbeing at The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Muscat, where soothing remedies and an opulent hammam will help you feel revived. Also at the hotel you will find two pristine, outdoor swimming pools for soaking in, while its position directly behind a stunning ribbon of fine golden sand means you can spend your days here lounging beneath the sizzling sun or splashing in the Gulf’s crystal-clear waters. When you’re ready to venture further afield, you can book a selection of revealing cultural excursions including half-day city tours of Muscat and more far-reaching adventures to Oman’s shimmering wadis and ancient desert settlements.
