WHY STAY
Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar rises from Oman’s Green Mountain like a desert mirage—raw and regal, remote yet refined. One of the highest luxury resorts in the world, it hovers on the edge of a canyon so vast it feels like the end of the earth. The design honours both setting and spirit: arched passageways carved from stone, hand-tiled hammams, and suites wrapped in desert textures—bronze, leather, and warm Omani woods.
This is a place for solitude that doesn’t feel lonely. A place to breathe, to look out, and to look in. The spa draws on Arabian healing traditions, while the outdoor infinity pool seems to suspend time. Whether you're writing, resting, or simply remembering how to be still, Al Jabal Al Akhdar is an invitation to silence and ceremony.
WHY WANDER
This part of Oman is steeped in both myth and geology. Trek across ancient terraced farms and deep wadis, or visit 13th-century villages carved into the rock. Learn the art of rosewater distillation during harvest season, or follow falaj irrigation channels to hidden groves and forgotten forts. For a dose of adrenaline, try canyoning or climb the via ferrata that hangs over the abyss.
The cultural thread runs deep here. Visit Nizwa’s old souk for pottery, spices, and silver. Or gather for a storytelling dinner beneath the stars, where the silence of the canyon becomes part of the tale.
INDULGE IN
Mountain cuisine with Middle Eastern soul: spiced lamb tagines, saffron-scented rice, and Omani halwa sweetened with rose and smoke. Locally sourced produce, traditional clay cooking, and herbal teas from nearby terraces bring the landscape to the plate. Whether you’re dining at a cliff-edge restaurant or on your private terrace, every meal feels ceremonial.
GETTING THERE
Fly into Muscat International Airport, then take a scenic 2-hour drive through winding mountain roads to reach the resort. Private transfers and helicopter charters are available for a more dramatic arrival.
