Perched at 2,000 metres above sea level on the curving rim of a great canyon, the luxurious resort beckons travellers with an array of inspirational experiences, immersing them in the rich culture, history and adventure of Oman.
A total of 115 luxury guest rooms and villas overlook either the dramatic canyon or tranquil gardens. The resort’s 82 Premier and Deluxe Rooms boast a spacious bedroom, amongst the largest in the country, and a spa-like bathroom complete with a rain shower and separate bath alongside a balcony.

Meanwhile, the 33 One- or Two-Bedroom Villas grant guests an intimate escape, each with personal villa host services and a private infinity pool overlooking the cliffs or hidden in an exotic garden.
For those who want to have uninterrupted views of the canyons, can try via ferrata, a cliff hanging activity that can be done on the doorstep of the hotel. The nearby terrain is ideal for explorers who can discover the labyrinth of narrow roads via mountain bike, wonder at the marvels of the canyon during a hike, abseil from a sheer cliff or try their hand at the ancient sport of archery, and enjoy heritage sites in the vicinity.
As a special opening offer, guests can choose a spacious canyon room or lavish Pool Villa and avail the introductory offer of 20% off. In addition, guests can explore the cuisine on offer with 20% off food and beverage across the six outlets or relax in the Anantara Spa with 20% off all treatments.
