Fodor's Expert Review Alila Jabal Akhdar

This all-suites luxury hotel on a remote cliff high in the Jabal Akhdar Range about 90 minutes from Nizwa takes full advantage of its stunning surroundings. Each room has a view, and both the infinity pool and the restaurant overlook a spectacular canyon. The property has been designed to blend organically with the natural surroundings, using stone from the mountain itself in the construction. This lends a fabulous effect, as the property is almost camouflaged from a distance. Traditional Omani handicrafts decorate the rooms and common spaces, and local ingredients, including rose water, are put to use in the spa. The on-site restaurant is pricey, as is their new bar, but the views more than make up for it.
