If you head southwest from Muscat, you will come across the stunning Al Hajar mountains. Perched at an altitude of 2000m above sea level, the Alila Jabal Akhdar provides breathtaking views of the mountain range and the ravine below. The hotel uses locally sourced stone and wood to blend in with the natural surroundings and highlight the beauty of the area. The staff at the hotel are extremely friendly and welcoming, and Omani guides are available to help guests take advantage of the numerous activities available at the Alila Jabal Akhdar. These activities range from sunrise walks to adrenaline-pumping excursions to hidden caves using a "Via Ferrata", to visits to nearby historical forts and castles. Each of the 86 suites and villas is situated on the clifftop, offering majestic views of the mountains. The suites are decorated in a contemporary style, with warm touches inspired by Omani culture and decor. The Alila Jabal Akhdar is an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime, with its stunning views and nearby attractions waiting to be explored.
At Love To Explore we would recommend the resort for these unique selling points:
- Stunning cliffside views

FAQs
Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?
The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.
What types of holidays do you specialise in?
Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.
How far in advance should I book a holiday?
There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
