Luxury hotel holiday The Chedi Oman

Sophisticated and modern, The Chedi Muscat is located on the Bouchar beachfront, set against the dramatic backdrop of Muscat's Al Hajar Mountains, which tower over the clear waters of the Arabian Gulf. Taking inspiration from traditional Omani architecture, the resort's brilliant white buildings feature pointed arches and elongated windows. Sitting in twenty one acres of landscaped grounds, the resort boasts boasting its own private beach and two swimming pools. A modern and romantic resort, it is afforded many intimate spaces; courtyards, terraces and water gardens come alive at night, illuminated by glimmering flames. The resort's 158 rooms and suites enjoy magnificent views over the water or across the mountains and this magnificent outlook is matched by the suitably grand Chedi Club Suites. Spacious bungalows and villas lie dotted amongst palm trees and gardens, furnished with large bedrooms and separate living rooms. With white walls and cream marble windowsills, they are perfectly complemented by stylish and authentic fabrics in neutral colours, creating calm and relaxing spaces. Amenities are sleek and infallibly modern, matched with glamorous bathroom suites which feature sunken black marble baths. The Restaurant combines the resort's Arabian charm with a Zen ambience and spectacular European features. Elegant but relaxed, it has won several awards for cuisine and design. Guests can watch meals being prepared in one of the four show kitchens. Meals are a combination of Arabic, Mediterranean, Asian and Indian cuisine, perhaps tuna fish with caviar or a Moroccan salad. A new beachfront restaurant has recently opened to add to the resort's dining options. The Chedi Muscat has a pervasive ambiance of tranquillity, peace and wellbeing, but the Balinese spa particularly embodies this atmosphere. Four of the seven well-appointed treatment rooms include the luxurious Spa Suites with sunken terrazzo baths, in which guests can pamper themselves with an extensive menu of therapies and signature treatments. The beauty products used at the spa are made only of natural organic products from Bali and Australia, and treatments are inspired by different techniques from around the world. Refined and romantic, The Chedi is an outstanding resort with superb facilities and accommodation.
