What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The interiors work with sandy tones and local craft details, keeping attention on the water and the mountains behind.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Secluded within Bandar Jissah cove, the resort sits twenty minutes from Mutrah Souq and near rugged Al Hajar mountain trails.
The rooms
Ocean-facing rooms open to private balconies, while multi-bedroom summerhouses feature private plunge pools and dedicated butler service.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The main heated pool stretches toward the bay between rows of palms, surrounded by shaded daybeds and cabanas.
The spa and gym
Talise Spa houses traditional hammams and treatment rooms facing the water, and the gym is open around the clock.
At the table
Brezza mixes cocktails on an open rooftop facing the mountains, and Zuka serves fresh seafood beside the cove.
Opened in December 2022, the resort is 30 minutes by car from downtown Muscat, with views of the Gulf from each of the 206 rooms…
