Jabal Akhdar, which means "The Green Mountain" in Arabic, is part of the Hajar Mountains, one of Oman's most spectacular regions. At over 2,000 meters above sea level, Alila Jabal Akhdar offers access to this magnificent landscape of unspoiled beauty. Overlooking a dramatic gorge and dramatic mountain peaks, the resort is perfectly positioned to explore the region's famous rugged landscapes – a paradise for adventurers and nature lovers. Inspired by ancient fortresses, traditional Omani building techniques using local stone have been combined with modern architecture to create a uniquely relaxing environment – from the pool to the spacious suites, which offer mesmerizing views of the cliffs and mountains.
The resort's 84 beautifully appointed suites and villas range in size from 52 to 361 square meters and are located either in the resort's main building or in clusters of four to six suites, generously arranged around the cliffs to allow for maximum privacy and uninterrupted views of the mountains and gorges. The suites are decorated in a modern style that combines Oman's rich history and culture with the authentic flair of the country. Earthy wood and stone tones are accented with carpets and furniture in bold yet warm colors, while the leaves of the juniper tree, painted on the wall of each suite by a local artist, bring the regional nature inside.
