Al Bustan has long been one of the Middle East?s most famous landmark resorts. It's extensive refurbishment has touched upon everything from the lobby and the accommodation to the private stretch of beach, an extensive network of new water features now contributing to its inherently relaxing ambience.

Yet this is a multi-faceted property and whilst it sits just ten minutes from the forts, walls and souks of Muscat, there?s everything on site to keep you entertained. The largest private beach in Oman is enhanced by an infinity pool and two lagoon pools, with the Tennis Village, non-motorised water sports and state-of-theart gym complemented by Wellness Rooms offering a variety of different massages. Scuba-diving is available nearby along with a new destination spa.

Combining Art Deco design with the richness of Arabian culture, the balconied guest rooms and suites are located over eight floors and look out onto the landscaped gardens, mountains or Arabian Gulf, some brand new ground floor rooms boasting private decks
with direct lagoon access. And when it comes to dining, there?s anything from themed buffets and fresh seafood to authentic Chinese dishes and gourmet French cuisine on offer, the choice of bars and terraces
giving you the option of dining alfresco or enjoying a nightcap at the water?s edge.
