Anantara Al Jabal Akhdar

The relaxed Anantara is a sleek, family-friendly resort with a host of adventure activities on property.

• The breathtaking views over the massive canyon
• The 700-ft. Via Ferrata on property
• The spacious villas with private infinity pools

Perched above the Jabal Al Akhdar canyon, this sprawling resort boasts a myriad of amenities such as a large pool, spa, kids club and outdoor adventure activities on-site.

The top accommodations include cliff-side villas that offer endless canyon views from the private infinity-edge pools. But all 115 guestrooms are supremely comfortable with plush bed linens, oversized bathrooms and magnificent views.

There are three restaurants on property: a casual Italian eatery, Bella Vista; a traditional Omani fine-dining restaurant, Al Qalaa and the airy La Maison for breakfast and weekend dinners.

The property also boasts a gym and a large spa, as well as a kids’ club for younger guests. Active travelers shouldn’t miss the 700-ft. Via Ferrata, which combines climbing, rappelling and zip lining in one exhilarating activity.

Adventure seejers and families with young kids who wish to experience the region’s outdoor activities in a more casual setting than the nearby Alila.
