Honestly, everyone needs a rain check from the 9-to-5 and head out to where you need to be. Relaxing by the pool and indulging in a top-rated spa. While it sounds like a far-off dream, the Middle Eastern air has gracefully given us the chance to *finally* jet set to a place famed for what you’re looking for. A time out.
There are only a few spots in Oman that can truly put your exhausted mind at bay. Away from the usual routine of work, sleep, and back to the grind, there’s a resort and spa (because who said you can’t have both) nestled at the tip-top of the Omani mountains that serves exactly that.
Like everyone out there looking for a place to unwind and rejuvenate lost energy, there’s an exclusive experience that seems to tick all the mental check notes, and that is Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa.
Sitting just atop a mountain, Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa spans 2,000 meters of pure luxury — a box we all need to tick first and foremost. Locked and loaded with an array of dining facilities, of course, everyone’s favourite, a glassy pool, and not to mention an incredible spa and wellness facility? Yep, that’s definitely another check mark.
But of course, like every nomad and travel-obsessed gal, there’s a spot we will never fail to mention. The rooms. Truth be told, the views are a sight to behold, but there’s a little voice in our head that says you need to drop down immediately on the soft-cushiony suites of Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa.
There’s a perfectly good reason why the hotel has 173 rooms, etched in modern styles with a mixture of Omani decor, placed on a high pedestal. The views? Breathtaking. The interiors? Totally Insta-worthy. Our favourite? The intimate terrace perfect for lounging and seeping in the Omani air.
Now, there’s one thing that’s for sure. A night simply can’t end without revelling in the state-of-the-art Jala Spa & Wellness facilities.
For moments when you truly need to let your body ease away from the tensions, Jala is sure to bring you to the stars with their ancient Omani wellness techniques. Another idea to get you to hit that buy button is the vitality pools. We’re talking about pools that will simply let you unwind and relax, all the while releasing you from the toxins you may have.
On that note, for the girls who are in tune with alternative medicine, they have also packed the experience with sound healing sessions to get rid of the negative energy your body stored. Take this sign as your weekend healing trip, because we all need a little cleanse.
Never settling for less, Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa also has another, actually a few more promising offers for your stay. A true Omani wellness experience, they include an immersive Jala Hammam experience and even a designated Aquamoon shower.
For the girls that need a foodie boost, Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa offers not one, but three dining venues to have a taste of.
Take your pick from the VUE, a rooftop and lounge dining experience, Zaátar, the place to be for a night with Omani and international cuisines, or maybe the famed Café Wadi Habib for that retro old charmy vibe. Either way, your next solo or girls trip will be a banger for sure.
