Alila Jabal Akhdar

Two thousand metres above Oman, in the scent of rose and frankincense.

Hotel

Alila Jabal Akhdar

Perched at 2,000 metres above sea level on the edge of a canyon in Oman's Al Hajar Mountains — where the air is 15 degrees cooler than the coast and the damask roses bloom in spring — Alila Jabal Akhdar is a clifftop sanctuary built from local grey stone that merges almost invisibly with the rock. The infinity pool appears to meet the sky.

Alila Jabal Akhdar was built in local stone and timber to LEED standards, following the architecture of the ancient Omani forts that have watched over these mountains for centuries. Eighty-six suites and villas all face the dramatic gorge; two villas have private pools, Jacuzzis, and steam rooms. The Spa Alila — the first Middle East outpost of the brand — draws on traditional Omani healing: frankincense oil massages, rose-water facials, hot-stone therapies with mountain herbs, and body scrubs using Omani salt. All products are handmade from locally sourced botanicals. The Mystical Mountain Experience combines several of these purifying treatments into a signature half-day journey. Activities are as much the wellness offering as the spa: Via Ferrata circuits on the canyon walls, guided hikes to traditional mountain villages, stargazing sessions (the skies at this altitude are extraordinary), archery, cooking classes, and falconry. The Juniper Restaurant serves regional cuisine informed by the extraordinary agricultural heritage of Jabal Akhdar — the terraced rose and pomegranate farms that have made this plateau famous since antiquity.
