Between the Al Hajar Mountains and the Gulf of Oman in Muscat, The Chedi is a design-led beach resort set in twenty-one acres of gardens, with 162 rooms and villas, six restaurants, three pools and a Balinese spa.
The Chedi Muscat opened in 2003 as Oman’s first contemporary beach hotel, designed by the architect Jean-Michel Gathy, and it is still one of the region’s best-known design resorts. It sits between the Al Hajar Mountains and the Gulf of Oman, across twenty-one acres of gardens, ponds and courtyards, in a style that combines Omani architecture with Asian minimalism. The 162 rooms and villas are built around space and calm, a deliberate contrast to busier resorts nearby. The location is central enough for sightseeing but quiet on site, which suits both leisure and business travellers. There are six restaurants and lounges, three pools including the 103-metre Long Pool, the longest in the Middle East, a thirteen-suite Balinese spa with a large health club, and a 383-metre private beach on the Gulf. It is understated rather than flashy, and consistently picks up international awards. Choose it if design, space and calm matter more to you than spectacle.
The Restaurant is the main dining room, under Omani arches and chandeliers, with four open kitchens preparing Western, Asian, Middle Eastern and Indian dishes. The Beach Restaurant serves seafood on the private beach, looking out over the Gulf of Oman.
Poolside, the Long Pool Cabana does Japanese and Asian food beside the 103-metre pool, while the Serai and Chedi Pool Cabanas handle relaxed all-day dining. The Lobby Lounge, Arabian Courtyard and Shisha Courtyard cover everything from afternoon tea to late evenings.

Choose The Chedi if design and calm matter to you. Swim in the 103-metre Long Pool, eat at The Restaurant beneath its arches, and use the Balinese spa to wind down. It is understated rather than showy, central enough for sightseeing yet peaceful on site, and works for both a relaxed break and a working trip. You tend to leave genuinely unwound.
