Perched dramatically on the rim of a vast canyon in the Al Hajar Mountains, Alila Jabal Akhdar is one of the Middle East’s most striking high-altitude retreats. Part of the Alila Hotels & Resorts portfolio by Hyatt, the property brings the brand’s signature focus on sustainability, design, and immersive experiences to one of Oman’s most remote landscapes. Sitting over 2,000 meters above sea level, the resort blends contemporary minimalism with traditional Omani stone architecture, designed to feel carved into the mountains rather than placed upon them. Cool air, deep silence, and sweeping canyon views define the experience—luxury, stripped back and elevated.
For Those Who Seek…
- Remote mountain luxury far removed from crowds and city noise
- Cooler temperatures year-round compared to the lowlands
- Architecture that dissolves into the natural landscape
- Wellness shaped by altitude, stillness, and space
- A sense of true arrival at the edge of the world
Location & Access
Alila Jabal Akhdar is located in Oman’s Jabal Akhdar region, part of the Al Hajar mountain range. Access is via a scenic drive from Muscat, typically around two to two-and-a-half hours. A 4×4 vehicle is required for the final ascent, a climb that transforms desert plains into cool, pine-scented highlands.
Rooms & Suites
Accommodation at Alila Jabal Akhdar is intentionally understated, allowing the scenery to take center stage. Rooms and villas are finished in local stone, warm woods, and muted tones, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing canyon or mountain views.
- Mountain View Rooms with expansive outlooks and deep soaking tubs
- Ridge View Rooms offering uninterrupted canyon panoramas
- Villas featuring private pools, generous terraces, and heightened seclusion
Every space reflects Alila’s philosophy: refined, tactile, and quietly luxurious.
Dining & Culinary Moments
Dining is rooted in simplicity and seasonality, with menus that highlight Oman’s regional ingredients while maintaining an international sensibility.
- Juniper Restaurant showcases Omani-inspired and global cuisine against a dramatic canyon backdrop
- Rose Lounge serves afternoon tea, light fare, and evening cocktails as the sky deepens into twilight
- Private dining experiences can be arranged on terraces or beneath the stars, where altitude sharpens both appetite and atmosphere
Wellness & Experiences
Wellness here is shaped as much by the environment as by the spa menu. The resort’s spa draws on ancient Asian healing traditions, complemented by natural ingredients and the restorative power of altitude.
- Full-service spa with signature treatments and rituals
- Infinity pool suspended above the canyon edge
- Guided hikes, via ferrata routes, and mountain walks
- Cultural experiences including village visits, seasonal rose-water distillery tours, and stargazing
It’s wellness without pressure—structured or spontaneous, entirely on your terms.
