Hotel Information
Accommodation
Alila Jebel Akhdar offers 78 suites, six Loft Suites, and two Jabal Suites. Ranging in size from 52 m² to 361 m², they are located in the main building, distributed across individual clusters of four to six suites, generously spread along the cliff to ensure privacy and uninterrupted views of the mountains and valleys. Committed to a sustainable future, the buildings seem to seamlessly blend into the landscape through the use of natural materials and earthy tones. The charming accommodations are decorated with wood- and stone-inspired colors and feature decor inspired by the rich cultural heritage of the region.
Restaurants
The main restaurant Juniper serves a delicious selection of Mediterranean dishes and Arab specialties, many of which feature local ingredients. The juniper tree plays a central role in the decor, while citrus fruits and stone fruits take center stage in the cuisine. The culinary team has drawn inspiration from the influences of the golden age of the international trade routes that once crossed Oman. The cozy Rose Lounge offers a casual atmosphere for a refreshing drink and a quick snack.
Wellness and Spa
With seven treatment and dressing rooms, including a steam bath and jacuzzis, Spa Alila is a tranquil retreat dedicated entirely to restoring your sense of overall well-being. In addition to a wide selection of Asia-inspired treatments, the spa experience is infused with the essence of the destination. Step back in time in the steam bath, where the air is filled with a mist of intoxicating, earthy, and purifying oils, grounded in incense and juniper berries, reminiscent of old Oman. Enjoy our pure, soft, and 100% natural handcrafted juniper and rose soap, a distinctive feature throughout the resort and accommodations.
Child-friendly
Younger guests can visit the Play Alila Kids Club. There is also a Teen Zone. Due to its location right next to the edge of a cliff, with numerous uneven areas, ravines, and chasms in the surroundings, it is important to keep a close watch on small children at all times.

Alila Jebel Akhdar is committed to a sustainable future; the complex is designed to seamlessly blend into the landscape. As an EarthCheck certified property, Alila strives to minimize its impact while also maximizing conservation efforts.
