A Clifftop Sanctuary by the Sea

Shangri-La Al Husn sits perched on sandstone cliffs overlooking the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Oman. It is an adults-only retreat (guests aged 16+) that feels private and elevated, blending dramatic natural landscapes with palatial architecture inspired by Omani heritage. It is part of a larger resort complex, yet retains its distinct sense of seclusion and calm.

Rooms, Suites & Views

There are about 180 rooms and suites in total. All accommodations include large balconies or terraces, and they are designed with Arabian palace aesthetics: elegant colours, local artwork, marble bathrooms, plush bedding. Many offer views of the sea, infinity pool, or private beach cove. The room types range from Deluxe and Sea View rooms to large Specialty and Royal Suites, the latter providing expansive space, grand terraces, luxurious bathrooms (steam rooms or whirlpools in some), and butler-level service.

Facilities, Dining & Experiences

• Private infinity pool overlooking the sea

• Secluded beach cove for guests of Al Husn

• Luban Spa, offering wellness treatments that incorporate local ingredients (frankincense, organic honey, etc.)

• Multiple dining venues: a signature Mediterranean restaurant, a restaurant serving contemporary Indian cuisine, plus beach and pool bars for lighter fare and relaxed meals

• Evening rituals like pre-dinner drinks, canapés in courtyard spaces, afternoon tea on terraces with views

Connection & Additional Perks

Though secluded, Al Husn is only a short drive (around 15 minutes) from Muscat’s cultural highlights like Mutrah Souq and the old city, giving guests access to both seclusion and heritage. Guests also have signing privileges to use dining, wellness, and recreational facilities at the neighbouring Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah resort, which expands the options dramatically.

Atmosphere & Appeal

The overall vibe is luxurious, refined, and calm. It’s designed for travellers who want peace, excellent service, and high comfort, ideal for romantic getaways, wellness breaks, or simply relaxing in style. The design, views, nature, and attention to detail combine to produce a sense of pampering without excess.
