Oman
Luxury Holidays

Oman might be a less obvious choice for a luxury holiday than some of it’s more ostentatious neighbours, however, this isn’t to say that the country lacks luxury. In fact, the sultanate succeeds at combining the charm of a bygone age with an understated (yet no less wonderful) style of luxury holiday. Our Oman luxury holidays can encompass various forms of accommodation and activities, all of which retain the authentic allure of the Arab world. To experience Oman’s incredible natural habitats at the height of luxury and comfort, try glamping in the Sharqiya sand dunes or Wahiba Sands Desert. Sleeping under the stars provides a taste of the traditional Bedouin way of life, with the addition of some contemporary comforts, including a swimming pool in the middle of the desert.

Take to the water in a traditional dhow for a cruise around the Arabian Gulf. Oman’s waters are home to more than 20 species of whales and dolphins, so if you’re lucky you might catch a glimpse of these majestic marine mammals. A luxury liveaboard is another seabound option and Oman’s relatively untouched coastline boasts exceptional diving and snorkelling. If you want to combine a bit of everything into your Oman luxury holiday, our experts can tailor-make your itinerary to do just that, and our local Concierge will be on hand throughout to ensure every detail matches up to your definition of luxury.

Steeped in history, Oman’s main cities are a kaleidoscope of chaotic souqs and elaborate mosques. Take a tailor-made tour of Muscat, the country’s capital, to see antiquated forts, captivating museums and the awe-inspiring state-of-the-art Royal Opera House. The mouth-watering cuisine is another stand-out; sample Majboos (mixed rice), Meshkak (kebab) and Mashuai (grilled kingfish) for a taste of the sultanate’s culinary heritage. Then head north into the Hajar Mountains to reach Jebel Akhdar, where luxury and privacy go hand in hand at your hidden mountain-top haven, which is set at 6,500ft above sea level and blessed with breath-taking vistas of the verdant valleys below. Oman luxury holidays are an outstanding choice for those wishing to encounter traditional Arabia, with some added modern-day comforts and lavish touches.
