The ultimate expression of contemporary style, the guestrooms and villas are an exquisite composite of thoughtfully designed spaces, unparalleled quality in detail and comfort built for artisanal living,’ it further added. 

According to the company, the hotel’s design features a heavy influence of the Omani vernacular. 

‘Marble on the facade, falaj water features, and Omani archway corridor create an exclusive experience of traditional luxury,’ it said.

The lobby is set around a central water feature, complemented with a traditional majlis, limestones and artworks, created to visualise the best approach of local life.

The guest units are located along the natural contours of the resort, then descend towards the sea framing unparalleled views of the Arabian Sea.
