DoubleTree by Hilton Muscat Al Waha

Nestled between the dramatic Hajar Mountains and the Gulf of Oman, just a short drive from Muscat, DoubleTree by Hilton Muscat Al Waha is Oman’s first dedicated family-focused resort. Part of the Barr Al Jissah enclave, it offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with thoughtfully designed facilities for all ages.

The resort’s 262 rooms and suites are spacious and light-filled, with contemporary interiors subtly reflecting Omani heritage through locally inspired artwork. Each features a private balcony or terrace, opening onto sweeping views of the coastline and the Gulf beyond.

Dining at Al Waha is varied and easy-going, designed with families in mind without compromising on quality. At Samba, interactive live cooking stations bring international flavours to life, while Surf Café offers relaxed, child-friendly dining by the water’s edge. For something more atmospheric, Bait Al Bahr serves freshly caught seafood in a serene beachfront setting.

Take a slow ride along the Lazy River to Al Bandar, head to the beach, or take to the water for snorkelling and diving in Oman’s clear, marine-rich seas. For those seeking a little more activity, tennis courts, a well-equipped gym, and a wide range of watersports are all within easy reach.
