This small boutique resort is located on the Saiq Plateau of the Green Mountains, sitting on the edge of a canyon.
Mountain scenery can be admired from all areas of the hotel and you’ll particularly enjoy the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere.
You can reach Sahab in about three hours from Muscat Airport, an easy journey for those seeking a relaxing and scenic place to stay outside of the city.
The whole property faces out towards the cliff’s edge and looks over the Jebel Akhdar mountain range, offering incredible views while you dine and swim. Simply spend your time relaxing by the pool, indulging in spa treatments, or head out on a hike through abandoned villages, visit Nizwa or the rose farms of Al Aqar.
Dine inside or out but we really recommend enjoying your meals out on the terrace looking at the mountains. There aren’t many options to dine other than in the hotel, however the food here is simple, tasty and traditional, with guests singing the praises of the chefs here.
The Rooms
It’s a nice spot for families, with a small kids’ pool, playground and rooms tailored to families. Family Suites have two bedrooms, a large living area and modern bathrooms. Studios are the lead-in rooms, which are decked out in neutral tones and comfortable furnishings, while the Deluxe Suites have an added living area. The highlight of the rooms has to be the balconies, which all face out towards the distant mountain range.
If you prefer boutique properties, this is a lovely option in Oman’s mountainous region. However, it does not have as many facilities due to its smaller size.
What You'll find:
- 27 stone-built rooms and suites
- Heated infinity pool and kids’ pool
- Spa with Ayurvedic and Thai treatments
- Restaurant serving Omani and international dishes
Why You'll Love It:
- Breathtaking location: sunrise or sunset over the canyon is unforgettable
- Personal mountain wellness: the cosy spa and pool feel like your own retreat
- Tranquil yet active: perfect pace of walks, treatments and dining with dramatic backdrops

In Our Travellers’ Words
Great holiday with no worries
We had a 13 day trip to Bhutan [via] Kathmandu. We had the same guide and driver and a detailed itinerary... We flew from London to Kathmandu for two nights at the Dwarikas Resort which was like a retreat. Then to Bhutan to visit several cultures... We did our hike up to Tigers Nest at the end of our trip which meant we were already acclimated and had done a few other treks beforehand. It also meant we ended our holiday on a real high!
An Epic Adventure Across Southeast Asia
There were moments while I was out and about where I thought that everyone should experience this kind of mindful travel that Experience Travel organises, as it's not backpacking where you tick off the standard party hotspots, and it's not the typical cruise for tourists to visit the standard sightseeing destinations, but an experience where I really felt I got to know the countries, meet great people and do fun stuff that most people miss.
With ETG, we have visited extraordinary places
... stayed in wondrous hotels, met fascinating everyday people, listened to varied opinions, and learned much about places far away. I couldn't do that on my own.
