Muscat, Oman

Al Bustan Palace, A Ritz Carlton

An Insider's Take
'This palatial resort sits majestically against the dramatic Al Hajar Mountains, where Arabian luxury meets pristine coastline in one of the world's most stunning natural amphitheaters.' What's Special? Built to resemble a traditional Omani palace, this iconic resort features 200 acres of lush gardens with over 28 varieties of palm trees. The property's private beach stretches for nearly a mile along the Gulf of Oman, while the lobby's soaring 38-meter atrium showcases intricate Islamic architecture and locally-sourced marble.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a mountain-view room for sunrise – the Al Hajar Mountains glow pink and gold at dawn, creating one of the Middle East's most spectacular natural light shows.
Don't Miss The resort's falconry demonstrations featuring Omani hunting falcons, and the traditional dhow sunset cruises departing directly from the hotel's private marina. The nearby Mutrah Souq, one of the oldest markets in Arabia, is just 20 minutes away for authentic frankincense and Omani silver jewelry.
