Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort, Oman

Check in to this opulent Middle Eastern resort and take in the jaw-dropping views over Oman’s vast Saiq Plateau.

A two-hour four-wheel drive trip from Muscat, Al Jabal Al Akhdar (the Green Mountain) is one of the highest points in Oman and the site of the brand-new Anantara resort, 2000 metres above sea level. Check in to one of the 82 canyon-view rooms and marvel at the spectacle of soaring mountains and descending mist from your private balcony. Or relax in a villa featuring a private garden with temperature-controlled plunge pool. There are six restaurants to choose from, including fine-dining Arabian grill Al Qalaa and Moroccan-style-tapas joint Al Shourfa. Perhaps the most indulgent place to be is the Anantara Spa, where treatments range from rose rituals to pomegranate journeys.
