Experience the enchanting Arabian spirit of traditional Oman from the comfort of your room or suite with a décor inspired by royal Arabian palaces. There are two different suites at the resort, all offering a separate sitting room, flatscreen TVs and a personal butler service. In the one bedroom suites, soak up the sea views whilst relaxing in your bath tub. If you fancy a private outdoor spa pool, upgrade one step further to the speciality suite.

With eight restaurants at the resort there is a wide choice of dining. For a laid back ambience, try the Samba, a Latin American restaurant or if you fancy a quick meal, visit the Surf Café, a fashionable fast food restaurant. Don't miss the Sultanah, a stylish a la carte restaurant, imaginatively presented as the interior of a luxury cruise liner showcasing captivating views of the sea

The resort boasts 4 pools. Complimentary chilled mineral water is available at each pool, along with fresh towels and cooling spray. Inspired by the centuries-old 'falaj system' that brought fresh water to remote Omani villages, a 'Lazy River' winds for a delightful half-kilometre between the hotels. What better way to 'commute' around the resort, simply floating along in the current from pool to pool.

Oman lies in a unique region in which many coastal areas are still relatively untouched and unexplored, and new discoveries both on the land and in the sea are waiting to be made. Join a dolphin or whale watching cruise, go scuba diving or snorkelling or watch turtles nesting (January to June only). Daily catamaran sailings depart from the hotel, or for a more active day, try windsurfing or kayaking. At the end of the day, indulge your sense at the wonderful Chi spa, complete with spacious relaxation areas, a private garden patio and garden rain shower.
