Oman is home to some truly jaw dropping luxury hotels. For many years, the best of them all was the fantastic 5* Al Bustan Palace, which occupies a private beach surrounded by the Hajar Mountains. Extremely luxurious with a great spa, the hotel boasts splendid Islamic architecture and award winning restaurants. The hotel has a long secluded beach that is ideal for lazily sun bathing on, or windsurfing off.
The New Chedi hotel has usurped the crown of best hotel in Oman with its combination of oriental charm and breathtaking facilities. Like the Al Bustan, it boasts great facilities, but is smaller and more personal.
