Wake up at a lavish, five-star Muscat oasis overlooking the shimmering Gulf of Oman - with all travel, board options, and a choice between luxe hotels
Beautifully nestled between rocky mountains and a wide expanse of Ocean, Muscat is Arabia's fashionable little secret. Famed for its heady frankincense, unique culture, and dramatic landscapes, this gem of the Middle East is raring to be discovered in all its glory. How better to discover this gem than from an opulent five-star abode, of which you have a choice of two lavish retreats?
An undeniable leader of luxury hospitality, The Chedi Muscat overlooks the beautiful Gulf of Oman and is set amid a 21-acre green oasis with the Al Hajar mountains as a scenic backdrop - it's the very picture of elegance itself. The equally swoon-worthy Kempinsky Hotel Muscat is a true example of class and sophistication occupying more than six kilometres of golden coastline.
Whichever you decide is the right kind of luxury for you, the dizzying sights and sounds of Muscat await at your fingertips: lose yourself in the hustle and bustle of Mutrah Souq, bear witness to the grandeur of the Grand Mosque, and discover old relics and maritime tales at the National Museum, housed in an imposing building opposite the Sultan's Palace.

Marvellous Muscat
As Oman's largest city, Muscat is a beguiling mixture of old and new. On the one hand, there are opulent hotels and malls aplenty, on the other you've got labyrinthine Old Muscat, replete with old Portuguese forts, colourful mosques, and the bustling port quarter of Muttrah. Explore the Sultan's Palace, crumbling forts, the lively souk and other city sights, such as the Grand Mosque and the Bair Al Zubair. Sun-seekers among you will be thrilled to know the city is home to plenty of beaches, as well as lagoons home to turtles and other marine life.
