Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah is a complete resort appealing to couples and multi generation families
Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort is built alongside a sheltered 500m beach with a high mountain backdrop. It is actually two distinct hotel buildings – Al Waha (The Oasis), which is on the southern side and is essentially family focused – both in the room style and on site facilities. It is the lowest priced of the various options, reflected in the room size.
More centrally located is Al Bandar (The Town), maybe more elegant & stylish, with larger rooms, and would be our choice for discerning couples.
Between the two hotels you have 460 rooms and suites. You can walk between the two resorts in about 4 minutes, along the beach boardwalk or garden pathway.
This is also the location of the proudly luxurious Al Husn Resort which is also managed by Shangri-La, but tends to be more independent operationally.
The Airport is 60 minutes drive , Muscat town about 20 minutes.

Al Waha is more family focused, especially in the relaxed style. Al Bandar has maybe a more romantic couples theme, although also popular with those with older children.

All price guides are Per Person Sharing Double Room (Entry level), based on travel between May and/or June when prices are generally at their lowest and include promotional offers. Supplements will probably apply at other times, particularly mid-summer in the Med, and for rooms and/or transfers arranged for single travellers.
For example, the Caribbean and Indian Ocean prices for winter can be approximately double the May - June level and about 50% more in Asia. For the Mediterranean & Canary Islands, Caribbean, Arabia and the Indian Ocean (except Sri Lanka) price guides generally include airfare and transfers.
*For Sri Lanka and Far East we show a per-person, per-night hotel guide, excluding air fare, as arrangements tend to be individually tailored multi-centre itineraries.
