Overview

Few hotel settings are as dramatic as that of Alila Jabal Akhdar. Perched on the edge of a cliff above a gorge, the hotel commands breathtaking views of the Al Hajar Mountains. It is ideally placed for exploring Oman’s rugged landscape and the perfect retreat for those who prefer their holidays a little off the beaten track.

Built from local stone and timber, the hotel has the look of a rustic guesthouse — albeit one that is superbly appointed. Incense burns in the vast lobby, where smiling staff greet you with a welcome tray of coffee and dates. Decorative details include metal latticework with damask roses and a grand fireplace. All of this is impressive, yet nature is the true star here. From the pool and your room, you gaze out over ancient, craggy mountains and a gorge plunging 600 metres below.

About Your Hotel

Location

Access to these mountains is only possible by four-wheel drive. You pass a checkpoint near Izki – a 2.5-hour drive southwest of Muscat. The ascent is a scenic adventure, remarkable both for the mountain views and the impressive feat of highway engineering. At this altitude, the villages enjoy a Mediterranean climate with orchards and terraced fields kept alive by ingenious irrigation systems. The hotel lies at the very end of the road from Hayl ad Diyar.

The hotel is approximately two and a half hours from Muscat Airport.
