Twenty Years of Bliss – Why Now’s the Time to Revisit Shangri-La Muscat

Sun, serenity, and the kind of staycay deals you’ll want to shout from the infinity pool.
If ever there was a resort that deserved a standing ovation for impeccable vibes and timeless elegance, it’s Shangri-La Muscat. Nestled between the Hajar Mountains and the Arabian Sea, this iconic coastal haven is celebrating 20 years of barefoot luxury – and they’re doing it the only way they know how: with style, substance, and two seriously irresistible offers you’ll want to jump on faster than a poolside mocktail.
It’s only a short flight or 90-mins drive from Dubai, so what’s stopping you from throwing your bikinis and Prada shades in your luggage and saying “bon voyage” for a long weekend?
The sprawling Shangri-La Muscat is a mere 75-minute flight from Dubai.
The Ultimate All-Inclusive (Yes, It Actually Includes Everything)
First up: Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah is rolling out the red carpet with a new All-Inclusive Stay at its family-favourite wing, Al Waha. Priced from just OMR 110++ per night for a family of three, it’s the kind of offer that makes your travel budget thank you. Think scrumptious breakfast with ocean views, chilled lunches by the pool, indulgent dinners at lavish buffets, and free-flowing drinks across multiple venues. Lush.
Everything is included, so you can focus on flopping, floating and feasting without checking your Emirates NBD app every 10 minutes. Whether you’re travelling with tiny humans or just need an excuse to unwind with your crew, it’s a sun-soaked setup that makes holiday planning deliciously easy.
Expect stunning culturally themed architecture with a dash of Middle Eastern luxury.
The “Spend to Splurge” Stay
Want to customise your escape? Shangri-La is also offering a brilliant Stay & Get 100% Back in Resort Credit deal. Book a room at Barr Al Jissah from OMR 100++ per night, or go luxe at Al Husn, their clifftop, adults-only sanctuary, from OMR 150++, and they’ll give it all back to you in credit. That means you can go wild on everything from snorkelling with turtles and decadent spa rituals to cocktails under the stars and candlelit dinners, all without feeling like you’re splurging. Technically, you’re not.
Why Now’s the Moment
Shangri-La Muscat isn’t just a hotel. It’s the place where couples get engaged, babies take their first splash, and travel traditions begin. It’s where Oman’s natural beauty meets five-star service; a place that’s as much about connection as it is comfort.
There’s plenty of spots to park your beach bag and catch some of Arabian sun’s rays while you top up your tan.
And with 20 years under its belt, it’s only getting better with age. Whether you’re craving the buzz of Al Waha’s family-friendly energy or the clifftop calm of Al Husn (where not a single cannonball will disturb your serenity), this is the summer to see why people return again and again.
So go ahead, pack your suitcase and go to celebrate life, milestones, or just making it through the heatwave with your sanity intact.
