Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel
You will find a dramatic backdrop at Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel. With the jagged peaks of the Al Hajar Mountains jutting up into the sky on one side and the endless expanse of the Sea of Oman on the other, the luxury hotel seems to reside in a fairytale landscape.
But the whimsical wonders don’t stop there. Like stepping inside a jewelry box, the lobby instantly dazzles with gilded walls and a 124-foot domed atrium anchored by a collection of crystal chandeliers. The entire property oozes opulence with an Arabesque-meets-art-deco design scheme throughout, paired with signature Ritz-Carlton service and attention to detail fit for visiting royalty. Nearly 200 acres of oasis-like gardens, a private beach and a stylish spa complete the regal retreat in sumptuous style.
- Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel isn’t just a royal residence in name. The luxury hotel is a favorite of Oman’s own leaders — the ninth floor is reserved exclusively for the use of the country’s sultan.
- The luxury hotel offers plenty of ways to beat the desert heat, from an Olympic-size pool and a private stretch of sand along the Sea of Oman to simple but comfortable hammocks hung beneath towering palm trees. Cool off in style by booking a Lagoon Access room and enjoy a dip straight from your private terrace.
- You won’t have to head into Muscat to enjoy a little vacation spending spree. A chic shopping arcade on the ground floor features a collection of boutiques selling jewelry, clothes and Omani handicrafts that make excellent souvenirs.
- Recently refurbished accommodations have a modern take on classic Arabesque style — think calming cream tones, dark wood accents and sleek marble floors that echo your desert surroundings.
- Beautifully built into the rocky hillside, Al Bustan Palace Spa by The Ritz-Carlton is a sprawling oasis of holistic wellness. The 33,000-square-foot spa resembles an Omani palace with six hammam rooms and separate men’s and women’s relaxation areas outfitted with infrared saunas, ice fountains and steam rooms.
- Start your day with a bountiful breakfast buffet along with sea breezes from the terrace of Al Khiran Kitchen. The expansive offerings include continental and Omani classics best washed down with a selection from the buffet's vibrant juice bar.
- Savor a curated menu of Chinese classics from chef de cuisine Sam Peong in the stylish surroundings of China Mood. While you can order à la carte, we suggest opting for the signature set menu to enjoy the chef’s highlights, like seafood shumai, Peking duck rolls and Yangzhou fried rice.
- The Pavilion serves up fresh seafood and juicy steaks from an alfresco venue overlooking the waves. Dig into Indian Ocean-sourced oysters or Australian tomahawk ribeye carved tableside as you watch the sun set over the sea.
- Light bites and refreshing cocktails are delivered poolside at BLU Pool & Garden Bar. On Thursdays and Fridays, take advantage of the bar’s All Day Pink Menu and enjoy bottles of rosé served with a gratis platter of fruit or cheese.
- Feel like royalty when you indulge in afternoon tea in the jewel-box-like surroundings of The Atrium Lobby Lounge. Those who prefer a moodier setting can retreat to the Al Maha Bar & Lounge, where art deco style and atmospheric cocktail jazz dominate the wood-paneled space.
