The Spa at The Chedi Muscat

"The spa is considered one of the best in Oman, and the entire property mimics its soothing vibe, from the winding, softly lit walking paths to the high-end fitness center with cutting-edge classes, to the infinity pools"

"c), a spa, tennis courts, and a seashell-rich beach, the Chedi Muscat is the kind of place that tempts you to stay put, but the staff can easily organize dolphin-watching cruises and day-trips to seventeenth-century fortresses and oasis villages in Oman’s interior"

"There's a pick of luxe restaurants, including the Beach for local seafood (the open lasagna with Omani lobster is a highlight); the Restaurant for alfresco dishes that span Arabic, Asian and European cuisines; and the Arabian Courtyard, where you can dine under the stars on giant cushions and sample Arabic mezze, grills and shisha while listening to live Omani music"
