A haven of peace for intrepid travelers, it boasts luxury rooms and villas as well as a fabulous cliffside infinity pool. Suites feature private pools, spa baths and rain showers. Each room features interactive smart TV, spacious walk-in closets, refined decor with wooden desks, sofas and even a Nespresso coffee machine. Special mention for the king-size bed with eight pillows!
Terraces with sofas allow you to contemplate the spectacle and try to catch a glimpse of the goats that wander around the resort. Without doubt the most spectacular part of every bedroom is the bathroom!
A large sliding wooden door opens onto a huge marble room, with a double washbasin and a vast bathtub. Great atmosphere guaranteed. Al Qalaa serves gourmet Arabian cuisine based on grilled meats.
Open all day, Al Maisan serves international cuisine. There are many activities available in and around the hotel. A special mention goes to the only via ferrata in the world to be set up inside a hotel, with the option of abseiling downโฆ and coming back up for breakfast as if nothing had happened. For the less intrepid, there are painting classes and cooking workshops. Of course, these spectacular landscapes are perfect for hiking and mountain biking, as well as donkey tours of the Jabal Al Akhdar mountains and the surrounding traditional villages.
