Mandarin Oriental Muscat
With its enviable location on Muscat’s most stunning stretch of coastline, the Mandarin Oriental, Muscat, is a property that understands its setting. Rooms and suites, artfully inspired by Omani craftsmanship, are infused with vibrant colour accents, elegant furnishings, and the finesse for which the Mandarin Oriental is known. The Presidential Suite, in particular, is a place to dream about; a space that captures the soul of Shatti Al-Qurum’s glittering shores.
The hotel’s selection of five distinct on-site dining venues is on a par with Muscat’s finest. Rawya, an all-day brasserie inspired by the Silk Road, pays homage to the location’s historic role as a trading port with a fusion of Asian and European flavours. The Mandarin Cake Shop, meanwhile, is a slice of heaven for those who appreciate the finer points of pâtisserie.
The Spa fuses Asian-inspired treatments with Omani traditions. Featuring a traditional Hammam, it’s easy to forget you’re in the heart of a vibrant capital city—especially with the light-filled treatment rooms overlooking the water. Fully relaxed, you’ll be ready to take advantage of the hotel’s carefully curated excursions. Including guided hikes into the rugged Wadi Shaab valley, each one reveals Oman’s beauty and cultural depth up close.
