Al Jabal Al Akhdar, Oman
Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort: Spectacular 2,000m canyon-rim resort in Oman’s Green Mountain with Diana’s Point, Al Qalaa dining, and cliffside pool
Perched dramatically 2,000 metres above sea level on the curving rim of a monumental canyon on the Green Mountain (Jabal Akhdar) in the Al Hajar Mountains of Oman, Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort opened in 2016 as one of the highest luxury resorts in the world. Famous for ‘Diana’s Point’ (the iconic clifftop viewing platform where Diana, Princess of Wales, once stood to admire the canyon vistas in 1986), the 115-room resort is an architectural marvel of Omani stone and timber. Featuring the cliff-edge outdoor infinity swimming pool with heated jacuzzis overlooking the deep abyss, the fine dining Arabic restaurant Al Qalaa in a standalone stone fortress tower, the holistic Anantara Spa with Turkish hammam, thrilling via ferrata climbing routes, and private star gazing platforms, this property is Oman’s ultimate mountain sanctuary.
Arrival introduces travelers to majestic Omani mountain royalty: guests arrive via 4x4 through mountain passes, welcomed in the grand stone courtyard beside water channels (falaj) and fragrant frankincense burners with chilled Omani rose cordial and fresh dates. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Al Hajar mountain, climbing, and cultural pursuits: walking out onto Diana’s Point at sunrise to watch golden light flood the canyon, climbing the exhilarating Jabal Activity Wall and zip lines along the sheer cliff face, trekking through ancient terraced rose and pomegranate orchards of Al Ayn and Ash Shirayjah villages, swimming in the cliff-edge infinity pool, indulging in hammam treatments at Anantara Spa, and reserving dinner at Al Qalaa or Bella Vista.
Mountain living balances alpine recreation with world-class wellness: the Anantara Spa features five private treatment suites, an authentic Turkish hammam, steam rooms, indoor heated vitality pools, and therapies utilizing local Jabal Akhdar damask roses, mountain pomegranates, and frankincense. Dining is extraordinary: refined Arabian gastronomy at Al Qalaa (housed in a standalone stone fort tower serving regional grilled meats and seafood), cliffside Italian dining at Bella Vista (cantilevered directly over the gorge), all-day dining at Al Maisan, and cocktails at the rooftop Shisha Lounge.
Accommodations comprise 115 rooms and standalone private pool villas ranging from 60 to 700 square metres. Each residence features contemporary Omani decor with carved wooden accents, private balconies or private temperature-controlled cliff plunge pools framing the canyon, plush king beds, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs.
Adventure connoisseurs, romance seekers, and luxury travelers seeking 2,000m canyon cliff views, Diana’s Point heritage, and Anantara Spa hammam wellness in Oman should book Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort without hesitation. Travelers seeking low-altitude sandy beaches should look elsewhere. Grounded review consensus confirms legendary standing with a 4.9 out of 5 on Tripadvisor across 2,400 reviews and a 4.8 out of 5 on Google across 2,900 reviews.
