The best accommodations Batinah Coast And Its Wadis

Set in 12 hectares of gardens and orchards, it's an extensive complex with 109 spacious suites, numerous sports facilities (tennis, gym, playground...), a restaurant, 2 bars, boutiques and a spa opening onto a rather strange "zen & fun" sanctuary with water park and gigantic swimming pool. Somewhere between a balneo center and a mini-park, Al Nadha is a slightly kitsch stopover, an atypical place to relax that's hard to define (see the site), or at least a practical base for exploring the forts and wadis of the hinterland.

As the Triganos used to say, the site comes first! Well, this Beach deserves its name since it is located on the sand, near the wadi Sallan, daring the lawn, the pool, the tennis court and a pretty white fortress face. At night, with your back to the sea, you will take a charming picture of this building with turrets. In spite of a globalized decoration, the establishment gives off a little something of holiday. So you can enjoy the beach and the leisure facilities. For those looking for space, chalets are available. Also a restaurant and a bar.

Comfortably set back from the busy road between Muscat and the Emirates, with a name referring to the wadi that runs towards the sea, the establishment, in its white modesty, displays its 78 pleasantly modernised rooms around a pretty swimming pool, without the architect having thought of offering them a wide, plunging view of this life-saving pool. When making a reservation, prefer a key to the right side of the complex. Owned by an Omani group rich in ideas in terms of hospitality, the old Al Wadi remains dashing. On site: restaurant and Sports Bar with musical atmosphere.

Facing a marina designed for 400 sailboats, this vast, modern luxury hotel features rooms, studios and apartments. Designed for active vacations, the hotel offers a wide range of leisure facilities on a long, landscaped beach: 5 swimming pools, fitness center, a range of water and land sports (including a diving club) and a Zayna Spa. If you book an all-inclusive week via Lookea, you'll benefit from the dynamics of a Club (activities, entertainment, buffets). For a weekend or an overnight stay, it's a friendly seaside stopover just 1 hour from Muscat.

Ideally located on the waterfront, close to the fort and port of Sohar and equidistant from Dubai and Muscat, this chic Radisson offers business people the professional guarantees of the chain and at the same time is a comfortable stopover for tourists, families included - playground and paddling pool. The large outdoor swimming pool open on the beach is a success, as is the Fitness Center and the range of restaurants with stylish settings. The Al Khaimah Rooftop, with its shisha bar and splendid view of the Gulf of Oman, is a favourite.

Only accessible by 4x4, Bait Bimah is a small group of traditional houses located near the village of Bilad Sayt. This hut is a short walk from the famous Snake Canyon and is an excellent starting point for many activities (canyoning, trekking). Surrounded by stone walls, the place offers a simple but correct comfort (air conditioning) in rooms with private bathroom or dormitories with common sanitary facilities. In the permanent restaurant, one prefers the open-air tables where one can taste the fresh local cuisine. Adorable majilis corner under a tree.

In the heart of Wadi Mistal and the ancient village of Wakan, in a landscape of rocky outcrops and terraced plantations, this small hotel occupies a group of traditional stone and adobe houses, renovated with respect for local architecture. In all, there are 12 rooms for 2 to 4 people, set into the mountainside and surrounded by greenery, for a totally immersive stay. Each room has its own bathroom, air conditioning and heating, and a restaurant. Nearby signposted hiking trails and panoramic viewpoints.

Versatile, for both business and leisure guests, this latest generation Mercure, light and bright, dares to use fresh and peppy color codes, and stylish touches of decoration, we love it! Located at the southern entrance to the city, it is easily accessible from Muscat. Its 152 units with excellent bedding, also include a Family Suite. Open continuously during the day, the restaurant offers buffets, snacks and homemade dishes, to be eaten in the cool of the room or on the terrace. For relaxation: outdoor pool, fitness center, bar.

Far from the city centre, but 15 minutes from the airport and close to the port facilities, it is an imposing building that could have been an ugly building if it hadn't been well dressed by its architect. Vast atrium in a vertical shaft criss-crossed by two glazed elevators, a restful palette of colours, beige, brown, matching mineral surfaces in a contemporary style, luxury rooms and, to relax, 2 bars, a 25-metre-long swimming pool and a 4-lane bowling alley hidden in the basement. Also a restaurant and a steakhouse.
