The 6 Best Resorts in Oman (2026)

With its desert mountains, wadis hidden among ancient forts, and a coastline that feels untouched, Oman is one of the Middle East’s most beautiful surprises. You’ll find some of the best beach resorts along the coast, smart city hotels for sightseeing, and peaceful mountain retreats high above the plains. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a laid-back escape, or a more adventurous break, our handpicked selection highlights the best resorts in Oman.

For a five star

• Al Baleed Salalah is all about space, calm and top tier facilities. Inside, you can expect high ceilings, marble floors, carved doors and a modern feel. Enjoy three excellent restaurants, a serene spa and a huge infinity pool. Add in a private beach and lagoon setting for pure grown-up luxury.

For a mountain retreat

• Up in Jabal Akhdar in Nizwa, Sahab Resort & Spa is a small, modern resort that makes the most of its breathtaking setting with large windows and terraces that are aimed straight at the canyon. You can hike rose terraces during the day, swim at sunset, then eat outdoors surrounded by epic mountain views. Cool, calm and easygoing.
• The Alila Jabal Akhdar Hotel exudes pure wow factor. It sits right on the canyon edge, so every balcony and villa looks out over huge drops, with peaks in the distance. Rooms are spacious and contemporary, villas come with private pools, and the spa is a real highlight. Enjoy great food, guided hikes and a truly romantic atmosphere.
• Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar delivers big scenery and lots to do. The infinity pool hangs over the canyon, the design is crisp and modern, and the views never get old. You can stargaze, cycle along the rim, practise yoga at the viewpoint, then wind down in the indulgent spa. An active but polished stay.

For the beach

• Alila Hinu Bay is the kind of place you come to properly switch off. There’s a quiet private beach, a tranquil spa, and several restaurants offering Asian, Mediterranean and Arabian menus. Rooms are light and modern with subtle Omani details and terraces facing the sea, some with private plunge pools. 
• Set in 21 acres of palm-filled gardens leading straight onto the sand, The Chedi, Muscat boasts smart contemporary rooms, a massive pool and the largest spa in Muscat. Multiple restaurants mean you can eat somewhere different every night. This is true beachfront luxury.
