Overlooking the stunning Gulf of Oman, Shangri-La Al Husn Resort & Spa is an exclusive clifftop retreat in the capital city of Muscat, where guests ages 16 and over can enjoy a variety of luxurious amenities and experiences such as a 100-meter private beach cove and infinity pool, as well as signing privileges at sister property Shangri-La Barr Al Jussah Resort & Spa. The 180-room resort offers some of the largest suites in Muscat, featuring beautiful decor inspired by Arabian palaces with Omani art and sea views, in addition to marble-clad bathrooms complemented with L’OCCITANE amenities.

Hareer Spa by L’OCCITANE at Shangri-La Al Husn Resort & Spa is inspired by the Mediterranean art of living well, and is the first and only L’OCCITANE Spa in the Sultanate of Oman. Offering a fusion of authentic French therapies with natural local ingredients from Oman, the spa rituals draw inspiration from the smooth texture and shine of silk (which the spa is named after), creating a seamless wellness experience for guests.
