Impressions
Cuisine
At Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar, culinary variety comes with a view across the canyon. Al Maisan serves international dishes throughout the day, while Bella Vista pairs Italian flavours with Mediterranean lightness and a spectacular panorama. At Al Qalaa, set within a restored fort, chefs prepare Middle Eastern specialities, with a traditional Shuwa grill night twice a week for something extra special. Al Baha invites you to coffee and deli fare in a courtyard setting by day, while Al Burj sets the scene for shisha and fine drinks as evening falls.
For truly special occasions, the Designer Dining team crafts a private table experience – perhaps on the celebrated Diana's Point viewing platform. Those keen to explore Omani and Thai cuisine themselves can book a class at Spice Spoons, while round-the-clock in-room and in-villa dining completes the offering.
Wellness
Anantara Spa is set within Omani architecture built from mountain stone, accompanied by a trickling fountain and the scent of bakhour incense. Its signature rituals draw on the power of local ingredients: Damask roses grown on the Jabal Akhdar, pomegranate and frankincense come together in treatments that restore body and mind alike. A private hammam suite, five treatment rooms – including two couples' suites – and separate thermal areas for men and women with sauna, steam room and relaxation garden make this one of Oman's highest-altitude retreats.
Experiences
Adventure and relaxation sit side by side at Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar. The Jabal Activity Wall combines via ferrata routes along the cliff edge with Oman's first mountain zip lines and the Middle East's highest steel bridge. Hikes such as the Lost Village Hike and the Three Village Trail lead to abandoned mountain settlements and centuries-old irrigation systems, while archery, tennis and cinema under the stars round out the offering. Early risers can join a yoga session at Diana's Point to greet the sunrise over the canyon, while the infinity pool and fitness centre remain open throughout the day. Younger guests are well looked after at the Asfour Kids' Club and the Jabal Teens' Club.
