Perched 2,000m above sea level on the curving rim of a great canyon, the luxurious resort beckons the discerning and intrepid traveller with an array of inspirational experiences, immersing them into the rich culture, history and adventure, stated a press release.

Long inaccessible, Al Jabal Al Akhdar (Arabic for The Green Mountain) is a towering massif on the Sultanate of Oman's vast Saiq Plateau. The arrival experience takes guests on an adventurous drive – two hours from Muscat International Airport and four and a half hours from Dubai.

The resort echoes the fortified architecture of the region, placing guests in modern ramparts inspired by the commanding indigenous citadels re-imagined with sophisticated contemporary interiors. A total of 115 luxury guest rooms and villas overlook either the dramatic canyon or tranquil gardens.

The resort's 82 premier and deluxe rooms boast a spacious bedroom, amongst the largest in the country. Meanwhile, the 33 one- or two-bedroom villas grant guests an intimate escape, each with personal villa host services and a private infinity pool. Culinary desires are well catered for at Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort with a collection of six restaurants and lounges. For more information go to www.anantara.com
