Dusit International has opened the first Dusit-branded hotel in Oman with the opening of dusitD2 Naseem Resort, Jabal Akhdar in Muscat.
Owned by the Oman Tourism Development Company (Omran), the deluxe resort is located within a brand new 8,000 sq m Adventure Park on the Saiq Plateau in the Jabal Akhdar area, just a five-minute drive from the ‘Grand Canyon of the Middle East,’ and two hours by car from Muscat International Airport.
Comprising 252 rooms and suites, the contemporary resort offers breathtaking views, a wide range of facilities, including an all-day dining restaurant, a fitness centre, and a large outdoor swimming pool. A specialty restaurant, a Kids Club, and a signature Namm spa offering traditional Thai-inspired massage therapies and treatments are set to open later in the year.
Dusit’s new group-wide wellness concept and approach will also be introduced to weave well-being elements throughout the stay experience. With a focus on physical vitality and mental health, guests will have access to mountain running, yoga, pilates, Thai boxing, guided meditation workshops, and other experiences and events that harness nature, sustainability, and adventure, to deliver healthy fun for adults and children alike, said the statement.
The resort is also well-equipped for future business events and social gatherings, with a grand ballroom that can cater for up to 150 guests, and several adjoining meeting rooms featuring the latest audio-visual equipment, it stated.
The Adventure Park, slated to open later in the year, will feature exciting activities to delight visitors of all ages, such as zip-line rides offering impressive views of the surrounding valley. Kids will have access to a petting zoo and science centre as well.
Guests can make the most of its unique location, Jabal Akhdar with educational hiking, cycling and quad biking tours to ancient forts, traditional markets and other local attractions, such as the historic town of Nizwa, known as the ‘Pearl of Islam.’
Flexible check-in, anytime breakfast, and mobile payment methods are just some of the services offered.
Dusit International Group CEO Suphajee Suthumpun said: “We are delighted to make our Oman debut with this vibrant resort which showcases the heritage, culture and visual splendour of the destination in truly distinctive fashion.”
Gerhard Stutz, General Manager, dusitD2 Naseem Resort, Jabal Akhdar, said: “Uniquely blending Dusit’s unique brand of Thai-inspired gracious hospitality with local customs and traditions, our resort provides unparalleled access to wonder and adventure in a gorgeous location surrounded by breathtaking mountains and valleys.”
