Love To Explore Rating: Business Class
The Shangri-La Al Husn is a beautiful resort, set on a top headland with views of the surrounding ocean and the Hajar mountains behind. Omani and Arabic influences are evident throughout the hotel, from the exterior which takes inspiration from traditional Omani forts, to the Moorish-inspired archways and courtyards found throughout the hotel. Food lovers will enjoy the variety on offer – guests can dine at any of the eight restaurants at the nearby Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, as well as those at the hotel. The jewel in Al Husn’s crown is Aangan by Rohit Ghai, the award-winning chef who brings a fresh gourmet outlook to Indian cuisine. Al Husn also enjoys private access to a quiet private beach, with golden sand and clear water. With attentive service and a serene atmosphere, guests will leave Al Husn feeling pampered and relaxed.
At Love To Explore we would recommend the resort for these unique selling points:
- Adults-only resort
- Turtle care Eco-centre and the chance to see turtle nesting and hatching during the season
- Excellent dining options, including Aangan by the award-winning chef Rohit Ghai
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.
