Privilee Member, Daisy, shares her perfect day at Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah in Muscat. From calm swims and beach moments to fitness, family-friendly activities, and dinner by the water, here’s her insider’s guide to one of Oman’s most iconic resorts.
Morning – Pool & beach
“Started with a swim overlooking the Gulf, then quiet moments on the private beach to fully switch off.”
Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah is known as one of the best Muscat beach resorts, with still waters framed by dramatic cliffs. Morning is the perfect time for a dip in the pools or a stroll along the resort’s private stretch of sand.
Midday – Wellness & activities
“Mixed in a quick gym session before a walk along the sand.”
This family-friendly resort in Muscat also caters to wellness. Whether you want a strength session at the gym, a jog along the beach, or even a spa treatment, midday is made for balancing movement with relaxation. Privilee Members enjoy 20% savings on treatments at Chi, The Spa for each Member for up to 3 guests.
Afternoon – Family & relaxation
“Families love the splash pads. I was on my own, so I went for shade, a book, and downtime.”
With swimming pools, a lazy river, and a dedicated kids’ club, Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah is one of Muscat’s best family resorts. Members save 15% on watersports, from paddleboarding to kayaking, and there are tennis courts if you’re in the mood for a game. If you prefer calm, retreat to shaded loungers and peaceful corners made for slowing down.
Evening – Dining & sunset
“Closed the day with dinner by the water at Bait Al Bahr, watching the cliffs glow at sunset. Perfect.”
Bait Al Bahr is the resort’s beachfront seafood restaurant, offering panoramic sea views and the best spot for sunset dining in Muscat. Privilee Members enjoy 20% off dining here, along with eight other restaurants to explore.
From sun-soaked mornings to golden-hour dining, Daisy’s day shows why Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah is one of the best resorts in Muscat for families, wellness, and total relaxation.
