Now on Privilee: Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah

Muscat’s landmark coastal escape. Two resorts. One unmatched daycay.

Say hello to your next escape. Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah is officially on the map, giving Members access to two of its resorts – Al Waha and Al Bandar – in one extraordinary coastal setting. Secluded in a hidden cove on the Sea of Oman, it’s a destination that feels serene, unhurried, and unforgettable.

Where calm meets the coast

Tucked away in the cliffs of Al Jissah, the resort balances wide-open space with a sense of seclusion. It’s quiet yet full of life, designed for families yet perfect for couples or friends. Mornings can begin with dolphins swimming across the horizon, while evenings are best spent watching the sun slip into the sea. And, if you’re lucky, it’s a place where turtles nest nearby – a seasonal reminder of the nature that surrounds you.

Drift and float

Infinity pools stretch towards the sea, while family-friendly pools keep little ones entertained for hours. A lazy river snakes through the resort, unique to Muscat and loved by kids (and kids at heart). Whether you’re here for stillness or play, the pools set the pace of your day.

A shoreline of your own

Few places in Muscat offer a beach this secluded. Shangri-La’s private stretch of sand feels expansive yet quiet, the kind of place where you can spend the whole day without feeling crowded. Morning swims, sandy walks, or simply sinking into a lounger, it’s your own slice of shoreline.

Time for you

Wellness flows through the resort. The gym is fully equipped and complimentary, making it easy to fit in a session. Members also enjoy 20% off tennis lessons and spa treatments at Chi, The Spa – from massages to facials – for themselves and up to three guests. Prefer something more active? Water sports are always on hand, from jet skiing to paddleboarding, with exclusive 15% savings.

Made for families

Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah is one of Muscat’s most family-friendly resorts. Kids can spend hours at the dedicated club, diving into crafts, games, and activities while parents enjoy a moment of calm. The lazy river and kids’ pools mean there’s always somewhere new to explore – a day here is never just one-note.

Flavours to linger over

With 20% off nine different restaurants, dining is part of the experience. Each venue has its own personality – from Asian street food flair to rustic Italian favourites. Here’s a taste of what to expect:

Al Tanoor Middle Eastern flavours meet Omani tradition, with live cooking stations and a souq-inspired setting.

Bait Al Bahr Seafood with a sea view. Pick your catch and have it cooked to order, or choose oysters, sushi, and Omani classics.

Piano Lounge A terrace with sweeping sea views, cocktails crafted with flair, and evenings soundtracked by live music.

SiO2 Beach Lounge Laid-back dining with an Omani twist. Light summer plates, crafted cocktails, and shisha from sunset, all against the backdrop of the beach.

A daycay worth knowing

Whether it’s infinity pools and private beaches, dolphin spotting, or a dinner that lingers into the night, Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah offers a kind of daycay that feels different. For families, couples, and friends, it’s a space to relax, recharge, and reconnect, in one of Oman’s most iconic coastal retreats.
