The Chedi Muscat
Muscat, Oman
Muscat is a must-visit for many reasons whether cycling along its breezy corniche, soaking up the frankincense-scented souks, marvelling at its 5,000-year-old architectural gems or savouring its rich culinary heritage. If you’re going to do the ancient port city in style, there’s only one place to stay – The Chedi Muscat. 2024 marks the resort’s 21st birthday, and it’s as popular as ever thanks to its understated elegance and standard-setting hospitality. Bordering the Gulf of Oman and the Hajar mountains, the hotel is a gleaming white, clean-lined take on traditional Omani architecture, spread across a series of low-slung buildings that feature elegant archways, mashrabiya screens, domed roofs and reflective pools. Jean-Michel Gathy’s reception area, inspired by a Bedouin tent, is a design highlight. The Moorish gardens are pleasing in their symmetry, with the 103-metre sea-facing Long Pool taking centre stage, lined with floodlit palm trees and chic black daybeds. From here, you can access the six restaurants, two tennis courts, wood-panelled gym, 13-suite spa, stretch of private beach and the 158 well-appointed guest rooms and suites.
