One of those treasures is The Chedi Muscat, Oman.
As digital marketing manager Amber Tomlinson told me, the lobby is inspired by a Bedouin tent.
“It’s taking little influences of the local culture into the property itself,” she said.

I also enjoyed the fully equipped gym, the spa, and its array of fine-dining restaurants and cabanas.
This most recent visit was just as luxurious and fabulous as I rememberedif not more.

I had the luxury of staying in The Chedi Club Suite, the ultimate room category.
My suite was single-storied, but double-storied options are available.
There are also several poolside hangs that serve up fantastic meals.
But there are many other things that you’re free to do here.
There are also two floodlit tennis courts, and fitness classes for things like yoga and aqua aerobics.
The more than 8,600-square-foot spa offers holistic-based treatments out of eight charming suites.
There’s a wide range of treatments, including Ayurvedic massages, revitalizing facials, and even cupping therapy.
Accessibility and Sustainability
There are no rooms specifically designed for guests with disabilities at the Chedi Muscat.
All light features at the resort are LEDs for sustainability purposes.
The water irrigation system running throughout the property uses recycled water.
Additionally, the staff only waters the Zen gardens in the evenings to reduce water waste.
One of the best things about staying at The Chedi Muscat is its central location.
