Jumeirah Muscat Bay is a 40-minute drive from Muscat International Airport and around 20 minutes from Old Muscat and the bustling Mutrah Souq, making it a perfect base for exploring all that the Omani capital has to offer – while also offering a level of seclusion and tranquility that comes with its privileged location in a sheltered bay.
The rooms, suites and villas blend sleek, contemporary design with subtle Arabic accents courtesy of local artisans and a colour palette of cream, ivory and ochre. Many offer wonderful sea views, while the highest categories offer additional privileges such as spacious private terraces or balconies, plush living areas, kitchenettes, and in some cases, private plunge pools and Jacuzzis.
Dining takes place across four fabulous restaurants, catering to a wide range of tastes and dietary requirements. Peridot offers a bountiful breakfast buffet followed by a diverse selection of international à la carte dishes for lunch and dinner (with live show cooking stations), while Zuka is a laid-back beachfront venue specialising in fresh seafood and Mediterranean fare. At Anzo restaurant, you can look forward to exquisite cocktails and creative Asian small plates, and on the rooftop, you’ll find Brezza, the place to go whenever you’re fancying Italian cuisine. Plus, there’s Tarini Lounge, a casual venue for tea, coffee, delicious pastries and local delicacies.
When you’re not out and about taking in the sights of Muscat, there’s endless scope for relaxation at Jumeirah Muscat Bay, whether on the private beach, by the poolside (there is an adults-only pool area), or indulging in a bespoke treatment at the Talise Spa. You may also wish to join a yoga or meditation class, designed to soothe both mind and body. Or, if you’re looking for something more active, take advantage of the well-equipped fitness centre, the on-site tennis courts and plentiful choice of water sports on offer – including kayaking and paddle boarding.
