One of the world’s most renowned luxury hotel brands is headed to Oman for the first time.

The Four Seasons Resort and Private Residences Muscat, Oman, is set to open in the sultanate’s capital.

The urban-style seaside resort will have sweeping ocean views and the Hajar Mountains as a backdrop.

With 200 rooms and suites, a private beach, five dining outlets and indoor and outdoor pools, the resort will give travellers another luxury place to stay when visiting Oman.

Making the most of its location along the Gulf of Oman, the resort will offer several water sports.

Children will be welcome at the family-friendly resort and will be well catered for at the Kids for All Seasons club, while teenagers will have their own entertainment centre.

Known for its outstanding properties, service and dining options, Four Seasons is developing the resort in what was formerly a yacht club and marina.

There will also be 100 private residences for guests who want a luxury place to stay year-round. All private residents will have open access to the service and amenities across the resort.

“Muscat is a destination filled with history, natural beauty, business, tourism and so much more, and we look forward to showcasing all it has to offer through this exceptional new project with Four Seasons,” said Hashil Obaid Al Mahrouqi, chief executive of Oman Tourism Development Company.
