Our Comments and Suggestions on choosing a Room Type:

There are 79 pool villas, the Private Reserve and 2 retreats here, all of which are designed in an indigenous village style environment, complete with traditional Omani architecture and all of the modern amenities we come to expect whilst on holiday. The villas are spacious, uniquely designed and chic in decor. The accommodation provided is of a tremendously elevated standard and would be definitely suited for the more discerning travellers among us.

Pool Villas have direct beach access, an infinity edged pool and both indoor and outdoor showers. At 247 SQM they offer an amazing space to spend your time and extra amenities such as butler service, a pillow menu and whirlpool bathtub are just some of the extras that make these villas extraordinary.

Pool Villa Suites are as above but at 412 SQM have a much larger outdoor pool area. With a separate bedroom and living area, they provide the ultimate in comfort and again come complete with modern amenities.

Spa Pool Villas are equivalent to the Pool Villas, these stunning villas come complete with an area in which guests can enjoy a personal in-villa spa session or any number of treatments with a skilled therapist. Again like the pool villa, there are designed to present a studio concept with sleeping and living areas.
