The Chedi Muscat Hotel in Oman must not be overlooked...
Oman might not be the obvious first choice for a holiday destination for many people, but we urge you not to overlook it. It's diverse landscape including mountains, coastline and deserts lies untouched next to a modernising city that has not been as radically altered as the neighbouring Arab Emirates. No skyscrapers are allowed to be built within Muscat, making it a place enduringly rooted in its heritage. We love Oman so much, we even ranked it 3rd in our Top 10 Holidays Destinations!
The capital city of Muscat has a number of accommodation options for the traveller to choose from, with perhaps one of the best, being The Chedi Muscat Hotel in Oman. Located on the Boushar beachfront, the hotel complex is backed by mountains and faces onto the sea. Some 20 minutes from the centre of the city itself, the hotel has 151 rooms for guests' use, all of which are tastefully decorated and well appointed.
Even the lobby is visually stunning
Most of the rooms within the hotel complex offer views either out onto the Gulf of Oman, or onto the Haajjar Mountains. The rooms feature open plan bathrooms which show great attention to detail, including a rainforest shower, and stylish bedrooms which come with all the facilities that you would expect of a luxury hotel.
Guests staying in The Chedi Muscat Hotel in Oman will be able to take their pick from four areas to dine, all of which offer different styles of cuisine. The restaurant has four separate kitchens within it, offering Arabic, Mediterranean, Asian and Indian dishes, whilst the Lobby Lounge and two poolside cabanas offer a variety of snacks and lighter meals.
Another wonderful feature of "The Chedi Muscat Hotel in Oman" is the spa. This is a great place for anyone that feels that they have earned a little pampering, and there are seven dedicated treatment rooms. A range of treatments and therapies are available here, including aromatherapy, massages and hot and cold dip baths. Two of the more popular therapies have been named the Oman Ritual and the Omani Bliss Ritual, both of which are a revelation in pure comfort and pampering.
Swimming and snorkelling can be done without any specialist gear, and diving is also popular in Oman. The underwater treasures include an abundance of exotic marine life and flora, and for those that are not licensed to scuba dive, it is possible to take a PADI course. Other possible activities include rock climbing, fishing, sailing and horseback riding. Even ice skating is possible within the city itself!
