Spend 2021 the right way: on a luxury Oman holiday filled with glitz, glamour and glorious views. Nestled between the Hajar Mountains and the Arabian Gulf, the captivating Chedi Muscat combines cutting-edge luxury with an authentic Omani experience, flaunting fabulous white walls, low-rise villas, perfectly polished floors and Arabian arches aplenty. So, what else makes The Chedi so special?
1. It's home to one of the Middle East's most iconic swimming pools
Claiming the title of both the most 'Instagrammable' and longest swimming pool in the Middle East, the Long Pool at The Chedi Muscat stretches over an astonishing 100 metres. Dip your toes in the thoughtfully temperature-controlled waters, or while away the days on the lounger-lined poolside with a cocktail in hand. The close by Long Pool Cabana provides the perfect spot for a light lunch, serving up Japanese sushi and sashimi whilst you gaze over the Gulf of Oman. If that's not enough, there are two more inviting swimming pools at the resort, as well as access to a stretch of private white-sand beach and the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf.

3. It's ultra-romantic and great for a couples' trip
There's something about the splendour, serenity and sophistication of The Chedi Muscat that just oozes romance, making it an ideal choice for an escape for two. Indulge in a romantic bathing ritual at the spa, lounge on a comfy daybed beside the adults-only Long Pool, or feast on fresh seafood and fine wine at the waterfront patio of the Beach Restaurant. Head out of the hotel and make memories in Muscat - whether sailing across the Gulf of Oman in search of dolphins, marvelling at the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, exploring the bustling Nizwa market, heading for a dreamy day in the dessert, or sniffing the world's most expensive perfume, Amouage, where it has been handcrafted for generations.
