The best accommodations Khasab

Comfort and conveniences to global standards for this establishment of international standing. Bonus 1 : 60 panoramic balconies with sea view (choose the rooms on the first floor so as not to be face to face with the synthetic lawn). Bonus 2: the position overlooking the waters of the gulf, very pleasant at the end of the day from the café or terraces. On site: restaurant, pub with liquor license, gymnasium, games room, children's playground and paddling pool, nice café (the Finyon) where you can have a pastry or a snack on your way back from an excursion.

Set in the middle of a wasteland near the airport, this small sandy-coloured hotel doesn't look like much, but the welcome is quite warm and the price reasonable. A swimming pool without deckchairs sits in the interior patio around which the rooms are distributed, giving onto the outside. The choice is offered between several categories includingFamily rooms and apartments for 4, all well equipped (TV, telephone, air conditioning, fridge...). On site: restaurant of international cuisine with terrace and BBQ, children's playground.

Facing the strait, close to the port, it is the most charming establishment in the area arranged horizontally like an Omani village. Reasonable size for 100 units with a warm and sober local decoration, each with balcony or terrace from which to contemplate the mountains and the daily life of the fishermen. We like this immersive bias in the style, the welcome, the freshness of the dishes served in the restaurant. For the rest, it's a good 4* which ensures its classics: 2 pretty swimming pools, diving club, fitness, kids club with paddling pool and spa with very qualitative treatments.

For a real immersion in the heart of the special ecosystem of Musandam, there is nothing like spending the night there, combined organized by the greatest local receptive: a day in a motorboat or in a dhow followed by a night in the fjords. Two options are generally proposed: night under the stars on the boat's pontoon or overnight in a tent on the shore. In both cases, a team is present to take care of everything, minimal comfort is provided (toilet, water, mattress and blanket) and dinner is served under a sky as pure and starry as in the desert.

Unique, this sublime luxury yacht in the shape of a traditional dhow entirely covered in wood is the only one to offer total immersion to the bottom of the fjords, in conditions of absolute comfort since the space is there (34 meters long, double pontoon fitted out) and the six double cabins are equipped with air conditioning and their own bathroom. Privatization is possible or departure from the cabin, for one or several all-inclusive nights enriched with visits and activities (kayaking, fishing, diving...). On-board staff as discreet as they are adorable. Unforgettable!

Facing the Strait, a 5-minute walk from the fort and 10 minutes from the dhow port, this is a hotel like dozens of others in the Sultanate: tiled, nickel-plated, with brown tones, plush lounges in the lobby, wide corridors and spacious rooms. The comforts are there, without question: space, carpeting, king-size bed, private bathroom, TV, air conditioning, armchairs and even sea views for a good half of the units. Within walking distance of the main activities, nothing to say. Restaurant on site and several good eateries in the vicinity.

In the south of the city, these two single-storey buildings blend in with the uniformity of the surrounding buildings. The decor is dated, but the comfort and layout are efficient - after all, you're only here to sleep. An attempt at local "style" in the restaurant and its terrace, planted on the edge of a blue swimming pool surrounded by green artificial grass. The establishment has 16 nickel units with kitchens, equipped for 3 to 6 travelers. The hotel is run by Khasab Travel & Tours, which facilitates the planning of excursions and ensures a faultless service.
