JUMEIRAH MUSCAT BAY

Days at Jumeirah Muscat Bay are spent reclined by the pool and soaking up the sunshine on the private beach, only breaking for the occasional dip in the refreshing water. If this isn’t relaxing enough, a visit to the Talise Spa for an Arabian camel milk and frankincense treatment is sure to leave you in a heavenly mood. Those seeking a more active stay will find plenty to occupy them with the on-site dive centre offering underwater adventures in some of the world’s clearest seas, while modern tennis courts and a state-of-the-art fitness centre provide plenty of opportunity to work up a sweat should you desire.

Tear yourself away from the beach and experience another highlight of the resort, it’s eclectic dining options. Absorb your memorable surroundings as you feast on Mediterranean cuisine at the rooftop Brezza, sample some of Oman’s best international cuisine at the stylish Peridot or enjoy fresh seafood at the relaxed beachfront Zuka. Should you wish to venture further afield, a 30-minute drive whisks you into the heart of Muscat where you can take full advantage of the city's plentiful cultural attractions, restaurants and lively souk.
