A 45-minute drive from the airport.

15 minutes from downtown Muscat on the south east of the Arabian Peninsula.

180 luxurious rooms and suites are decorated in rich and striking tones, reminiscent of an Arabian palace and feature a marble-clad bathroom with separate bath and shower and a large balcony furnished with chairs and a couch, from which to enjoy the spectacular views. Room amenities include a 42” flat screen TV, DVD player, BOSE wireless speakers, complimentary WiFi, and a Nespresso machine, plus a full complimentary mini bar, restocked daily. Deluxe Sea View Rooms are well worth the upgrade, and we love the suites for their extra space, separate lounge area and superb sea views, which can be enjoyed from the comfort of your bath through cleverly designed sliding glass panels.

Two of the finest restaurants in Oman offer sophisticated dinner menus, with Shahrazad, the only authentic Moroccan restaurant in Muscat, providing a taste of Morocco and Sultanah serving exquisitely prepared gourmet delights (booking recommended). Fresh seafood is cooked to perfection at the grill by the private beach, or there are a further seven restaurants easily accessible at Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, the hotel’s sister resort, next door.

Feel like royalty with fresh fruit delivered to your lounger, complimentary afternoon tea and pre-dinner cocktails and canapés in Al Husn’s courtyard, or head to the exclusive Mahhara Beach Bar and adjoining private beach to soak up the sun or for watersports including sailing, snorkelling and diving. A state-of-the-art gym and boutique spa are dedicated to looking after your wellness needs and guests of Al Husn also have access to Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah’s full range of facilities and activities.

As of 2018, there are a host of new watersports facilities to enjoy, located on the main beach. Watercooled Powered by Uniboats now includes top-of-the-range equipment such as hydro-sport jet packs, clear bottom kayaks, stand-up paddle board, wakeboarding, waterskiing, windsurfing, wakesurfing and dinghy sailing.

Children 12 yrs and over are permitted at Al Husn only, but must occupy a separate room from their parents, and have limited access to Al Husn’s facilities. Children under 16 yrs are not permitted in Shahrazad or Sultanah for lunch or dinner. The infinity pool, private beach and beach bars of Al Husn are also for guests of 16 yrs and over only. Children staying at Al Husn are therefore invited to use the restaurants, pools and beach of Al Waha and Al Bandar.
