Jumeirah Muscat Bay

Poised between the Hajar Mountains and the Gulf of Oman, Jumeirah Muscat Bay is an oasis of modernity. Embraced by a glorious arc of private sandy beach, it strikes the perfect balance between adventure and wellbeing, wrapped in an atmosphere of unrivalled luxury.

Location

Tucked into the private bay of Bandar Jissah, this beachfront resort is a 40-minute drive from Muscat International Airport and around 20 minutes from Old Muscat. The Hajar Mountains provides a protective backdrop, while the resort faces towards the calm turquoise waters of the Gulf of Oman. A sense of escapism and serenity prevails, making life at this sophisticated resort feel a world away from the everyday. Yet the rich heritage of Old Muscat and nature-filled adventures in lush wadis and rugged mountains are close at hand.

Accommodation

The rooms, suites and villas are sanctuaries of understated luxury, blending sleek, contemporary style with subtle Omani design. Hues of sand, cream and ivory accented with sea-glass blues and greens reflect your surroundings, while floor-to-ceiling windows gaze over the resort, gardens and sea. Many rooms feature spacious private terraces or balconies, Ocean rooms boast spectacular sea views, and the summerhouses and villas add indulgences like plunge pools, gardens, private beach access and butler service.

Dining

Five refined restaurants span a wide range of tastes, united by a focus on fresh local produce and far-reaching Gulf views. Peridot, the main all-day restaurant, serves bountiful breakfasts and brings a touch of theatre to lunch and dinner with international dishes prepared in an open kitchen. Zuka pairs fresh seafood with a relaxed beachfront setting, while Anzo offers Asian-inspired bites and signature cocktails. Up on the rooftop, Brezza showcases an Italian-inspired menu alongside stunning views, while the casual lounge Tarini is the place for pastries and light bites.

Facilities

Relax and unwind on the private white-sand beach or by one of three pools, including an adults-only option. Rejuvenate mind, body and soul with yoga and meditation classes or a pampering treatment at the Talise Spa. If you’re feeling active, there’s a state-of-the-art fitness centre, tennis courts and an array of water sports including paddleboarding, kayaking, and wakeboarding. There’s plenty for families too, with a Kids Club (ages 4 to 14) offering everything from beach activities to art, craft and movement classes, plus a family pool next to a dedicated children’s pool.
