Fodor's Expert Review The View

This small eco-resort is far from rustic, with well appointed "pods" (private, modern chalets with private balconies) overlooking the valley. An infinity pool will allow you to soak while you watch the stars; fire pits offer a place to gather around as the night air gets chilly. The on-site restaurant is a destination in and of itself, thanks to the incredible views over Al Hamra and Nizwa that it offers. The property specializes in active, guided tours, so this is a great place to make your home base if you plan on spending most of your time exploring the great Omani outdoors. It's about an hour from Nizwa.
