Best nightclubs Oman

It is one of the trendiest and most spectacular places in Muscat! Located on the roof of the very design W, this Siddharta Lounge all in graphic elegance comes to offer to the Omani nightlife its menu with Mediterranean-Asian influences, its glam and festive atmosphere, its signature playlists mixed live by the DJ of the house. At the bar, mixologists shake explosive cocktails and over there, at the end of the terrace, the infinity pool seems to dive into the sea. To be experienced!

The passion for design, fashion and music blows over this bar with its warm and creative decor. We are at the breathtaking W, a hotel chain that cultivates a chic and festive art of living. Deep armchairs, poufs, hangings, woodwork and materials are enhanced by high-tech lighting and masterful chandeliers. A DJ mixes every night from 9pm and you can dine on the go with mezze, salad or club-sandwich, etc. On weekends, the place is crowded with a diverse clientele of expatriates, travelers and Omanis.

Located on the wide Al Mouj beach in the gardens of the trendy Kempinski, this is one of Muscat's nightlife hotspots. As soon as the sun goes down, this huge terrace comes alive and becomes an elegant and trendy resto-bar-lounge. Experienced mixologists shake and invent surprising cocktails that evaporate into the warm, gentle night, while the rhythm of the waves melts into the musical tempos of the DJs. There's toasting, dancing, laughing, chatting, nibbling and sharing.

The Omani version of this select brand, present in London, Nairobi and the USA, is playing the couture card by taking up residence in the very chic Opera Galleria. Wood panelling, parquet floors and tawny leather lounges create a warm atmosphere, calm at lunchtime (except for the Friday Brunch), and more energetic and glittering at dinner when DJs and shakers ignite in the graphic halo of dimmed lights. Modern American-inspired cuisine, superb terrace and cigar cellar. Glam!

In one of Muscat's most beautiful hotels, with its zen and graphic elegance, this is the capital's most glamorous resto-bar, in the open air, on the edge of the country's longest and most sublime swimming pool: 103 meters of pure freshness framed by magnificent palm trees. Between 2 dips during the day, before a treatment at the adjacent spa or in the evening at sunset, you can enjoy light, zen dishes like the site, a farandole of Japanese and Malaysian flavors, sushi, sashimi, spicy notes, sweet and salty and cocktails to die for.

More lounge than festive, it is the archetype of a grand hotel piano bar: an elegant and sophisticated place, where the voices are subdued by the lighting. Thick carpets and heavy curtains soften the sounds to let the timeless notes of the grand piano take centre stage. We languished in deep, rich armchairs, not without noticing the astonishing library where bottles from all over the world glisten. The service is to the rider: chic and discreet and you can smoke on the terrace. Proper attire is required at the entrance.

Welcome to Great Britain, in the leather and woodwork atmosphere of an English pub. This is the place where the country's Anglo-Saxon community gathers, the meeting place for expats over a nice fresh pint. Here it is impossible to get bored, depending on your mood, you can play billiards or darts, follow the latest sports event broadcast on the big screen, take part in a quiz night, listen to a live concert... The atmosphere is always friendly, the staff is friendly and you can even enjoy a few English dishes on the spot.

It's a chance to cross the Grrrrrand Hyatt's grandiose looby. Contemporary and glamorous, the John Barry Bar is one of the most chic hotel bars in the capital, sifted just enough to get the urge to curl up in its deep armchairs or share a moment with other guests in the halo of the lighted bar. A snacking-couture (tapas menu), a surprising or explosive cocktail, and here is a pretty evening that begins or ends, and why not on the large terrace opening onto the pool and the garden.

Perched on the hill above the Qurm nature park, this is a place that's mostly frequented after work or at weekends. A relaxed, trendy lounge atmosphere, modern decor, high tables with stools, sofas and an imposing bar. The à la carte menu offers an uncreative choice of dishes - pizzas, burgers, fish & chips, tapas to share and more. The main reason for coming is to enjoy a drink or cocktail in a musical atmosphere that can sometimes be festive. Plus: the deck with its panoramic view of the coast and city lights.

We go through the lobby of the Park Inn and take the elevator up to the top floor of the hotel. From there you can access the Sama Terrazza, one of the most beautiful rooftop terraces in the city, with a bar with panoramic views. Deep armchairs bask in the subdued halo of the pool - lounge atmosphere. The place is nice and regularly frequented by the French-speaking community of Muscat. Beers, wines, cocktails, small snack menu, dance floor, live music or ambient, DJ on weekend evenings.

In the annex on the right before the entrance to the Grand Hyatt, here is a small temple of entertainment with an Afro theme, the trend being "Africa is a good hostess". Unimpressed by the congolo-cardboard-paste reliefs of this fake decor of a Sindbadian version of The Lion King, the bands of friends drink and get into a nice racket. Yes, it's festive, cheesy as hell, so come in a Magnum-style flowered shirt on the weekend! On the roof, there's a grill to feed the hungry. In the same building: Habana Sports Bar with restaurant, billiards, sports broadcasts.
