Attractive resort village with a dramatic setting

Nestling alongside the sparkling bay of Al Jissah in a dramatic desert setting of rugged mountains and inviting beaches is the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, an attractive ‘two-hotel’ resort village twenty minutes south of the Omani capital.

The property offers an enticing array of facilities that appeal to adults and young people alike. A long sandy beach, lazy river, an extensive complex of lagoon-style pools, the CHI spa with its twelve luxurious spa suites, dive center, fitness center, shopping complex, children’s play area, kids club, and a wide choice of restaurants at each of its three hotels, are notable features of the resort.

At the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort, all rooms have free internet, satellite TV, coffee and tea-making facilities, a minibar, an in-room safe, and a balcony or patio. The 262 guest rooms at Al Waha are ideal for families as many rooms interconnect. Each room is either sea-view or sea-facing. At the heart of the resort is the Al Bandar, a deluxe hotel with 198 Arabian-themed rooms. Al Bandar is the Shangri-La’s focal point and has eight food and beverage outlets.
