A spectacular setting for the first Jumeirah resort in Oman, where the copper-coloured Al Hajar mountains plunge into the deep blue Arabian Sea. With a superb array of dining venues, you have everything you need for a relaxing stay.

All 195 rooms, suites and villas have a sea view, and the restrained, natural colour palette of the interiors allows those vistas to take centre stage. The Summerhouses sit on their own private beach along with the Sanctuary Villa with plunge pool, which come with a butler, a large garden and terrace, Jacuzzi and a private gym. The refined dining options include the rooftop Brezza, which serves seafood with an Italian twist, and the laid-back beachfront Zuka. Pick up pastries at the Tarini lounge, and peruse the cocktail menu at Anzo. The resort offers three pools, an inviting spa and a Bastien Gonzalez Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio, plus for the more active there is a gym and activities including yoga, snorkelling, hiking, mountain biking and diving. There is plenty for little ones too, with a Kids’ Club that provides activities including storytelling, arts and crafts, table football and video games.
