IHG Hotels & Resorts will launch on September 1, 2024 its first boutique lifestyle brand resort in the region, Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa that is nestled 2,000 metres above sea level amidst the peaks and canyons of Oman’s ‘Green Mountain’. The retreat features 173 beautifully designed rooms, suites and chalets, each offering majestic views.
Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa invites explorers to experience a mountain escapade where curated wellness and neighbourhood-inspired bucket list experiences come to life through passionate storytelling.
James Reeves, General Manager, said: “Our team has poured their heart and soul into creating a place that captures the very essence of Jabal Akhdar. Every detail and every experience has been carefully curated to immerse you in the story of this remarkable destination, connect with the local culture and create memories that will stay long after you leave.
“From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the magic of this place. We can’t wait to welcome guests to our neighbourhood and share the wonders of Jabal Akhdar.”
The resort’s design echoes the colours and textures of the mountain, creating a space that is both strikingly beautiful and deeply rooted in Omani heritage, a statement said.
Thoughtful touches and curated experiences bring to life the stories of the resilient communities that have thrived here for centuries.
Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa welcomes travellers seeking outdoor adventure, to connect nature, taste authentic Omani life in its villages and terraced farms, wander through historic villages, discover ancient dwellings carved into the mountainside, hike amidst terraced gardens, or simply savour the tranquillity of the mountain air.
