Dining is a real highlight. Assira, the beach and pool bar Samba, the all day dining, located at Al Waha is perfect for a family lunch in a relaxed atmosphere.

The resort boasts an array of facilities with the Cool Zone Kids’ Club, for children aged 4-8 yrs, and Splashpad water-play area located at Al Waha, and the 500-metre lazy river running between both hotels. Chi, the Spa complements the more laidback atmosphere of Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, with its 12 treatment villas.

Gallery

"The Interconnecting Family Rooms at Al Waha are great - they’re connected by an internal door which can be left open or closed for privacy; the resort also offers soft toys, crayons, milk and cookies for younger guests."

"It can get very hot in Oman, particularly in the summer, but the staff here go to great lengths to keep you cool - bowls of chilled fruit cocktail are distributed around the pool and ice boxes with bottles of cold water are delivered to the beach."

"We love the lazy river that gently winds its way through Al Waha and Al Bandar - it’s inspired by a centuries-old system that brought fresh water to remote Omani villages, but here it delivers only fun!."

"Watersports enthusiasts are in for a treat at One&Only Reethi Rah - with coral reefs just offshore, the diving and snorkelling are sublime; you can also have a go at waterskiing or wakeboarding, hire your own speedboat or explore the coastline by kayak, pedal boat or Hobie Cat."

"We love dining at the romantic Tapasake restaurant where you can take in an incredible Maldivian sunset while watching the fish swimming beneath the restaurant’s over-water terrace."

"With nearly four miles of coastline and 12 incredible beaches, the island is a joy to explore - pack your mask and snorkel and hop on one of the complimentary bicycles provided by the resort."
