Muscat Sea and Soul: A 7 Night Relaxing Getaway
Discover Muscat – the perfect Oman winter sun holiday.
This holiday has it all: daytime flights, a stay at The Desert Diva’s favourite hotel perched high above the Gulf of Oman, and the chance to experience Muscat’s warm winter sunshine. Wander through busy souqs and historic forts, soak up the city’s rich and diverse culture, or venture out to the desert wadis and mountains for a taste of adventure. Prefer to take it slow? Simply relax by the infinity pool, cocktail in hand, and watch Muscat as it lives and breathes from sunrise to the glow of evening lights. Add to that the warmth and kindness of Omani hospitality, and you have a journey that’s exceptionally enriching as it is relaxing.
Why You Will Love This Trip
Clifftop Location
Perched high above Qurum Beach, the Crowne Plaza Muscat offers sweeping views of the Gulf of Oman. From sunrise to sunset, the panorama is ever-changing, with boats gliding past and the city lights twinkling below. It’s the perfect base for exploring Muscat’s cultural highlights while still enjoying a tranquil retreat.
Private Beach
Step down from the clifftop and find yourself on a private stretch of golden sand, reserved for hotel guests. Whether you want to swim in the warm waters, unwind on a lounger, or stroll along the shore at sunset, the beach provides a peaceful escape right at your doorstep.
Excellent Food
With six dining venues to choose from, you’ll never run out of delicious options. Start your day with a hearty breakfast overlooking the sea, enjoy international buffets and themed dinners, or indulge in authentic Omani specialities. Every meal is a chance to discover new flavours in a stunning setting.
