Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar / Oman
Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort is a scenic country standout among the mountains of Northern Oman.
Home to all that Oman has to offer, the resort is fabulous with the little touches: delicious and freshly baked cookies, gifts for their guests to make their stay meaningful, and the charm of its complex. Oman ́s mosques, landscape diversity, and endless views make this country one seriously photogenic place that acts as a melting pot for landscapes, cultures, and activities in the region of the Arabian Peninsula.
The resort blends seamlessly into its surroundings and reflects the traditional architecture and charm of the country. The Plateau is located in the center of the mountainous region of Jebel Akhdar in the north of Oman. In this breathtaking setting with its spectacular view, you can enjoy a pleasant freshness even during midsummer. The Jebel Akhdar is one of the most spectacular landscapes in Oman and contains the Jebel Shams, the highest mountain of the country. The mighty peaks extend into the Arabian sky up to 3,000 meters.
This contemporary complex touts 82 premier and deluxe rooms with large window fronts that provide a view of the small villages of the canyon. The 33 spacious, calming, and uncluttered villas are a great personal retreat with outdoor areas or a private pool. The elegant and luxurious furnishings of all rooms and villas are wooden, warm colored, and designed ina traditional Omani style. Local craftship was used to build the equipment including lamps, vases, and images while symbols, such as roses or juniper trees, adorn the decoration. The ceramics in the rooms and throughout the hotel are also handmade.
Inspired by its simplicity, the resort flows effortlessly within its environment, keeping their guests’ experience as original and authentic as possible. The properties blend seamlessly with the surroundings to maintain balance and harmony. The design recalls the ancient castles, forts, and traditional buildings made out of clay. The hue of the exterior walls perfectly matches the sand, encompassing the resort and the simplicity of its streamlined modern design to transition harmoniously within the open airy spaces. French-Moroccan architect Lofti Sidirahal found inspiration in soft angles and almost-monumental proportions from past century architecture. The resort allows its guests to unplug and try out different spa treatments, discover the region during a scenic off road trip, relax on sun loungers on the outdoor banquette, and dine privately on the al-fresco culinary treatments.
