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.
