Alila Jabal Akhdar

Jabal Akhdar, meaning “The Green Mountain” in Arabic, is part of the Al Hajar mountains range, one of Oman’s most spectacular areas. Perched over 2000 metres above sea level, Alila Jabal Akhdar will provide access to this magnificent landscape of untouched beauty. Overlooking a dramatic gorge and with views of the Al Hajar mountains, Alila Jabal Akhdar is perfectly positioned to explore the region’s renowned rugged landscapes, a haven for adventure travellers, nature lovers and those seeking an escape from the desert heat. Committed to an eco-friendly future, the resort is designed to respect the environment and fit harmoniously into the site, preserving the natural beauty of the region. Alila Jabal Akhdar is located in the central section of the Al Hajar Mountains, 174 km from Muscat International Airport (2.5 hours’ drive from Muscat).

Ranging in size from 52 to 361 sqm, the resort’s 84 beautifully appointed suites and villas are located within the main hotel building or arranged in individual clusters of four to six suites, generously spaced out around the clifftop to maximise privacy and uninterrupted views over the mountains and down into the gorges. The suites of this resort in Oman surround guests in contemporary style, laced with an authentic flavour of the destination in décor that celebrates Oman’s rich history and culture. Earthy tones of wood and stone are accented with rugs and furnishings in bold yet warm hues, while the leaves of the juniper tree, hand-painted on a wall in every suite by a local artist, bring an element of nature indoors. A beautiful finishing touch to these charming oases of comfort and elegance.

Featuring seven treatment and changing rooms, including a steam room and Jacuzzis, Spa Alila is a peaceful sanctuary dedicated to pampering you from head to toe to restore a sense of total well-being. Besides a wide array of Asian inspired treatments, the spa experience is infused with the essence of the destination. Step back in time in the steam room, the air filled with a mist of heady, earthy and cleansing oils, grounded in frankincense and juniper berry, reminiscent of ancient Oman. Enjoy our pure, gentle and 100% natural Juniper Berry and Rose Handmade Soap, a signature feature throughout the resort and guest rooms.

Named after the juniper trees that grow in the highlands of Oman, Juniper Restaurant satisfies all your culinary cravings, from breakfast through to dinner. As you feast your eyes on the mountain horizon, savour an international menu inspired by the golden age of Arabic cuisine, influenced by trade routes that stretched from the Middle East to the Mediterranean region. Allow our culinary team to wow you with a rich variety of flavours using fresh and seasonal local produce crafted to gastronomic perfection. For something a little lighter, make yourself comfortable in the welcome shade of the Rose Lounge, serving drinks and light bites for your refreshment. As the sun sets behind the mountains, relax in the softly lit, cosy ambience that sets the mood for chilling out.
