On Oman's stunning Boushar beachfront, desert and mountains behind, stands the minimalist Chedi Muscat, the epitome of the new hip Arabia.
Each of the 156 exquisitely modern rooms and suites offer exclusive access to turquoise pools bordered by cosy cabanas, and a private stretch of sandy shore. Most present scenic views of the Gulf of Oman or the majestic Haajjar Mountain. The Club Suites are spacious, white-painted villas among the palm tress and splashing fountains. Some come with silver-painted cupolas above the oversized beds; all have black marble sunken baths and Bose hi-fi system. A vast room-service breakfast is delivered to your room any time until midday. Treatments at the seven-room Balinese spa are excellent, and signature therapies include the Ocean Ritual and the Omani Bliss Ritual.
The food is equally superb. The Chedi prides itself on The Restaurant, winner of numerous international awards for design and its Arabic, Mediterranean, Asian and Indian menus prepared in full theatrical view in four open kitchens. A French pastry chef bakes the famed bread and cakes. Cocktails at sunset by the adults-only Chedi pool, an infinity-edged beauty adjoining the beach, are a must. Scuba diving, dolphin watching, snorkelling and other water sports can be arranged by the concierge.
