Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah – Al Waha

Sprawling over 124 acres of landscaped gardens, Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Al Waha is the first dedicated family hotel in Muscat. Travelling with tots or teens? You’ll find plenty of child-friendly amenities here from the swimming pools complete with Lazy River surrounded by date palms, daily movie screenings at the Cool Zone Kids Club and excellent activities including henna painting and games. Stay in a Family Room with its two interconnecting rooms providing much-needed extra space, as well as a PlayStation and selection of games available on request – no matter which room you’re in, you’ll be treated to a balcony or patio for outdoor living. And for adults there’s a pampering CHI, The Spa and scuba diving trips. Bab Lounge Sessions, a lively rooftop lounge by the sea is back with a cutting-edge musical line-up.
