Alila Jabal Akhdar

Boutique
Mountains and Wadis, Oman

Perched 2,000 metres above sea level, Alila Jabal Akhdar overlooks a dramatic gorge, surrounded by awe-inspiring views of the Al Hajar Mountains.

The resort is the perfect base for exploring the region’s magnificent landscape of rugged, untouched beauty while experiencing a high level of comfort and one of the coolest swimming pools you’ve ever seen.

The resort’s 84 contemporary suites and two villas are found either in the main building or individual clusters of four to six suites scattered on the edge of the clifftop – delivering maximum privacy and offering uninterrupted views over the mountains and gorges.

Why we like Alila Jabal Akhdar

This is an extraordinary corner of Oman, attracting adventure travellers, nature lovers and those looking for a respite from the heat of the coast.

Facilities

The five choices of suites offer shaded balconies and spectacular views. For the special occasion, treat yourself to one of the two Jabal Villas, each with their own private steam room, private pool and Jacuzzi. The heated infinity pool is surrounded by an appealing wooden deck with private cabanas ideal for a leisurely sunbathe. Indoors is the plunge pool and Spa Alila. The award-winning Juniper restaurant is ideal for breakfast and dinner. The Rose Bar is popular for happy hour sundowners and after dinner drinks. The hotel has a fantastic kids club.
