Attractive resort village with a dramatic setting

Nestling alongside the sparkling bay of Al Jissah in a dramatic desert setting of rugged mountains and inviting beaches is the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, an attractive ‘three-hotel’ resort village twenty minutes south of the Omani capital.

The property offers an enticing array of facilities that appeal to adults and young people alike. A long sandy beach, lazy river, an extensive complex of lagoon-style pools, the CHI spa with its twelve luxurious spa suites, dive center, fitness center, shopping complex, children’s play area, kids club, and a wide choice of restaurants at each of its three hotels, are notable features of the resort.

At the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort, all rooms have free internet, satellite TV, coffee and tea-making facilities, a minibar, an in-room safe, and a balcony or patio. The 26twoguest rooms at Al Waha are ideal for families as many rooms interconnect.

Each room is either sea-view or sea-facing. At the heart of the resort is the Al Bandar, a deluxe hotel with 198 Arabian-themed rooms. Al Bandar is the Shangri-La’s focal point and has eight food and beverage outlets. Perched on a cliff overlooking Jissah Bay is Al Husn, the hotel’s most exclusive retreat, where guests enjoy exclusive dining, bar and beach areas, and on-demand butler service.

The 170 rooms and suites at Al Husn are all richly appointed and have direct views of the Gulf of Oman. Guests at Al Husn enjoy daily complimentary pre-dinner cocktails and canapés.

In keeping with the privacy and exclusivity of the hotel’s facilities, Al Husn does not cater to children under the age of 18 years.
