The Chedi
The award-winning Chedi is one of the top hotels in the Gulf region.
The rooms have views of either the Indian Ocean or the mountains of Muscat, with the deluxe rooms and suites scattered around the gardens and interspersed with palm trees and small ponds. Along with the 350 yard stretch of private beach, there are three pools, one reserved exclusively for adults.
There are also two tennis courts, a fitness centre and an extensive spa. The main restaurant, overlooking the water garden, is one of the best in Oman, with four open kitchens offering superb Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. The Poolside Cabana serves snacks and refreshments and there is now also an excellent seafood restaurant by the beach.
