Overlooking the Gulf of Oman and encircled by 124 acres of lush landscape, the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa is fringed by private beaches and framed by towering peaks. The resort is composed of three individual hotels, each with its own unique character, design and ambiance. Al Waha is a family friendly haven; Al Bandar is the dynamic heart of the resort and Al Husn is an adult only haven boasting an exclusive beach.The resort’s 630 rooms and suites are all infused with Arabic opulence and feature a balcony or terrace. Al Waha hotel is an ideal base for families, with spacious accommodation, interconnecting rooms and Playstations providing comfort, space and entertainment for everyone.
