Facilities
Whether your plans include adventure, rejuvenation or pure relaxation, Shangri-La's Barr Al Jissah Resort and Spa offers an enticing array of activities for both adults and young people.
Our signature spa, Chi, is the largest and most luxuriously appointed spa in the Sultanate of Oman. Each treatment takes place in one of twelve private spa villas, allowing you to indulge your senses in spacious and private surroundings.
Private Beaches: The main beach is a one-kilometer expanse of warm golden sand washed by the cool turquoise waters of the Gulf of Oman. Down a short path you'll find Turtle Beach, a smaller, secluded beach at the edge of the mountains.
The main beach offer bathrooms, showers, beach loungers, umbrellas, towels, and bar service with light snacks. The beaches and facilities are for the private use of our guests.
Al Husn private beach is a secluded beach for the exclusive use of guests of the Al Husn Hotel. The beach offers a full bar and butler service, in addition to the services available at all our guest beaches.
Pools: The resort has three expansive, cooled swimming pools, open from 6am to 8pm each day: Al Waha, Al Bandar, and a private pool for guests of the Al Husn Hotel. The adjacent pool bars offer light snacks, cocktails and refreshing drinks. The pools at Al Waha and Al Bandar are connected by the Lazy River.
Lazy River: Inspired by the centuries-old falaj system that brought fresh water to remote Omani villages, the Lazy River winds for a delightful half-kilometer between the Al Bandar and Al Waha hotels.
Our guests use the river as a relaxing way of 'commuting' around the resort, simply floating along in the man-made current from pool to pool.
Fitness Centre: Our fully-equipped Fitness Centre offers stunning views over the beach and out to sea, and includes a sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi. It is open from 6am to 11pm daily.
Tennis Courts: The resort offers guests four tennis courts, open from 8am to 10pm daily.
