The View Hotel

Located on the slopes of Jebel Shams mountain at an altitude of 1,400 metres, The View is Oman’s first Eco-retreat and has one of the finest vistas available from any hotel in the county. Accommodation is offered in 30 comfortable valley facing rooms all of which are equipped with balconies, tea/coffee making facilities, heat/cool air-conditioner, television, and bathrooms with rain showers. Superior rooms are clusters of five, whereas Premier rooms are slightly larger separate units located on the rocks and have the best panoramic views. The View’s restaurant serves a mixture of Arabic and International dishes and has lovely outside terrace which is an ideal place to relax and drink in the wonderful mountain scenery in the late afternoon. Taking a dip in The View’s temperature controlled infinity edge swimming-pool is another attractive option. In the evenings wooden campfires are lit and are the perfect place to congregate while sharing stories of the day’s adventures and the admiring the shimmering lights of distant Al Hamra village far down in the valley below. Activities available (by advance request) at The View include mountain biking and hiking in the surrounding area, cultural tours, and even a donkey safari! Please note that The View does not hold an alcohol licence.
