JABAL AKHDAR

Natural Beauty on a Higher Plane

They say the world looks different when you see it from another angle.

Nestled on the Saiq plateau of Oman’s Hajar mountains, the world looks different from where we sit. Come experience a different way of life in a space like no other. Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar gives you the rare opportunity to step away from life below and be rejuvenated and inspired in the rare air.

A 3,000 sqm wellness facility – the largest in the Middle East – outdoor activities in the mountains, and breathtaking canyon vistas from all angles provide evermore reasons to visit and stay longer.

Paradise on the Plateau

Tucked high above the world below, our landscape is one of abundant natural wealth – cascading water, bountiful groves, vibrant orchards and lush oases. There is no shortage of enclaves and lookouts to explore nearby and the mountaintop is a paradise for active adventure seekers.

Hiking trails climb and spill to abandoned villages, canyon faces open into caves, and a Via Ferrata steel-cable climbing route makes its way into the heights. Amid the canyon-side fruit plantations, 6,000 years of civilisation live on in ancient ways. Generations of farmers reside in stone houses that cling to the stony crags. Rural villages thrive in harmony with the land. Come for a journey through Oman’s Green Mountain and discover our neighbourhood's remarkable heritage.
