Oman: Mountain & Beach

Oman: Mountains & Beach is luxurious and relaxed week-long trip combining a three-night mountain stay at the beautiful Alila Jabal Akhdar with four nights by the beach at the stunning Chedi Muscat. Known in English as the ‘Green Mountain’ the Jabal Akhdar has long been regarded as a magical place – Oman’s Shangri-La – and stands high at over 2,000m above the heat of the Omani plains. Here, the gorgeous Alila Jabal Akhdar overlooks a dramatic gorge and has the feel of a refined mountain lodge. It’s the perfect place to relax in the sunshine, take in the mountain air, be pampered at the Spa, and enjoy the dramatic views. Day time temperatures in the Jabal Akhdar hover between 10 and 25 degrees C making the refreshing climate ideal for gentle hikes and the cultivation of exotic luxuries that are virtually unknown elsewhere in Arabia including pomegranates, apricots, walnuts, and roses. After rejuvenating at the Alila Jabal Akhdar, and exploring some of the oases, medieval villages and fairytale forts that make up Oman’s striking interior, the second part of the holiday unfolds at The Chedi Muscat – an award winning oases of luxury set in manicured gardens - with its own private beach and extensive facilities that include the much loved ‘Long Pool’, tennis courts and a heavenly Spa. Oman: Mountains & Beach comes ready made for those in search of sunshine, luxury, peace and relaxation sprinkled with a little Arabian magic.
