Perched 2,000 meters above sea level in Oman’s Al Hajar Mountains, Alila Jabal Akhdar is a secluded sanctuary designed to blend seamlessly into its rugged surroundings. Inspired by traditional Omani forts, the resort combines locally sourced stone, wooden rafters, and authentic regional craftsmanship with sleek contemporary architecture, creating a striking balance of old-world heritage and modern luxury. Suites and villas feature expansive terraces, floor-to-ceiling views of the dramatic canyons, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape, while curated Alila Journeys immerse guests in the culture, history, and natural beauty of the region. Luxury travelers can enjoy cliff-edge dining experiences beneath the stars, guided mountain hikes, stargazing, infinity pools overlooking the peaks, and deeply personalized service that makes the resort feel both exclusive and restorative.
Dining and wellness are central to the Alila experience. Juniper Restaurant, named after the trees that grow throughout the highlands, serves refined local and international cuisine inspired by the golden age of Arabic gastronomy, with panoramic views of the Al Hajar Mountains as the backdrop. For lighter fare and afternoon relaxation, the Rose Lounge offers shaded terraces and elegant mountain views. Wellness at Spa Alila takes a holistic approach, incorporating Asian healing traditions with locally inspired treatments using ingredients such as frankincense, juniper, and rose harvested from the surrounding region.

Our stay at Alila Jabal Akhdar was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail and impeccable service were evident in every aspect of our stay. Set high on the breathtaking cliffs of Jebel Akhdar, the hotel is truly spectacular, with stunning views that make it an unforgettable destination. Travelling with a son who has coeliac disease can often be challenging, but the team at Alila went above and beyond to ensure he could enjoy every meal without worry. They prepared an excellent range of delicious, in-house gluten-free dishes, and their understanding of cross-contamination was second to none. It was incredibly reassuring to know he was in such safe and knowledgeable hands. A heartfelt thank you to Chef Pankaj Walla and his team, who made my son's dining experience the best he has ever had. The gluten-free food was outstanding, and every meal we enjoyed during our stay was of an exceptional standard. Their care, creativity and attention to detail made all the difference. We would also like to give a special mention to Honey, one of our servers, who was so warm, friendly and attentive throughout our stay. In fact, every member of the serving team made us feel genuinely welcome and looked after, providing service that was consistently professional and heartfelt. The bar team also deserves recognition, especially Aargah, whose cocktails and mocktails were beautifully crafted, creative and absolutely delicious. There was so much to enjoy around the resort. We loved walking the Butterfly Trail, where we discovered the hotel's own honey farm, as well as its vegetable and herb gardens. The trail was thoughtfully designed with small activity areas along the way, making it a fun adventure for the children as well. A special thank you to Aaron, whose archery session was both engaging and expertly delivered. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the activity enjoyable for everyone. His stargazing experience was another highlight of our stay and created memories we'll treasure for years to come. To top it all off, the spa was outstanding. The Balinese massage was one of the best we've ever experienced—deeply relaxing and delivered with exceptional skill. Alila Jabal Akhdar has perfected the balance of luxury, warm hospitality and unforgettable experiences. From the breathtaking location and world-class dining to the thoughtful activities and truly outstanding staff, every detail exceeded our expectations. We left with wonderful memories and cannot wait to return. Highly recommended.

Fabulous experience. It was simply magical. We went on a tour of the hydroponic gardens viewing their innovative programs. The fresh food, tomatoes, figs, pomegranates were out of this world. The desert has a peace which is unmatched, the sunrise and sunsets are out of this world and the staff were wonderful. Thanks to all the staff and thank you Mohammed Al-Kayyali for the tour and the fresh food!
