Jabal Akhdar, meaning "Green Mountain" in Arabic, is a majestic range in Oman known for its stunning landscapes and cooler climate.
Famed for terraced gardens, ancient villages, and dramatic canyons, the new Hotel Indigo resort is nestled 2,000 metres above sea level, featuring 173 beautifully designed rooms, suites, and chalets, each offering majestic views of the neighbouring mountains.
The new property is located a two-hour drive from Oman’s capital, Muscat, and a six-hour drive from Dubai.
Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa invites explorers to experience a breathtaking mountain escape where curated wellness and locally inspired bucket list experiences come to life through passionate storytelling.
James Reeves, General Manager, Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa said: "Our team has poured their heart and soul into creating a place that captures the very essence of Jabal Akhdar. Every detail and every experience have been carefully curated to immerse guests in the story of this remarkable destination, connect with the local culture and create memories that will stay long after you leave. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the magic of this place. We can't wait to welcome guests to our neighbourhood and share the wonders of Jabal Akhdar.”
Inspired by the neighbourhood
The resort's design echoes the colours and textures of the mountains, creating a space that is both strikingly beautiful and deeply rooted in Omani heritage.
Thoughtful touches and curated experiences bring to life the stories of the resilient communities that have thrived here for centuries.
While the mountain's rugged terrain once made it difficult to access, today it welcomes travellers seeking outdoor adventure, connection with nature, and a taste of authentic Omani life.
Guests can wander through historic villages, discover ancient dwellings carved into the mountainside, hike amidst terraced gardens, or simply savour the tranquillity of the mountain air.
A wellness sanctuary
Jala Spa & Wellness is an oasis of vitality on the Green Mountain – a destination celebrated for its clean fresh air, natural springs, and the source of some of the world’s purest rose water.
Offering a range of rejuvenating treatments that draw inspiration from ancient Omani traditions and contemporary techniques, the spacious spa features three distinctive wellness zones with bespoke treatment experiences, immune-boosting Himalayan salt rooms, extensive thermal zones, and relaxing indoor vitality pools.
Savour the flavours of Oman
Delight in a culinary journey through the resort’s three distinctive dining venues that draw inspiration from the ancient Zanzibari spice trade and the bounty of fresh ingredients sourced locally.
At Vue Rooftop & Lounge, the highest rooftop in the Middle East, savour panoramic canyon views, craft cocktails, and signature wood-fired dishes.
Wadi Habib serves authentic Omani flavours in a warm and inviting setting, while Zaatar provides a vibrant all-day dining experience, perfect for sharing stories and connecting with fellow travellers.
