The Middle East's highest five-star resort — at 2,000 metres on the Saiq Plateau of the Hajar Mountains, with the Diana's Point lookout (named for Princess Diana's 1986 visit) and the strongest mountain setting in any GCC property.
What works
- Genuinely cool summer microclimate at 2,000m
- Cliff Pool Villas have unobstructed Wadi Ghul (the 'Grand Canyon of Arabia') sightlines
- Via ferrata and rock-climbing programme included for in-villa guests
Watch-outs
- 2-hour drive from Muscat via mountain road (4WD recommended)
- F&B programme thinner than the Chedi in Muscat
