Enviably positioned between the shimmering Sea of Oman and imposing Al Hajar Mountains, Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel has set the benchmark for luxury hospitality for over 30 years.

Set within a former palace, and the only palace hotel in Oman, with exquisite gardens, the resort features an alluring blend of old and new, local and global, seamlessly blended, carefully designed and naturally untamed. Showcasing the art of Omani hospitality, the resort combines a stunning location with world-class cuisine, a Six Senses Spa and plenty of recreation activities.

The hotel offers the perfect base from which to experience Oman and create unforgettable memories in unbridled luxury and unique surroundings.

The award caps a very successful year for the hotel. Most recently it was named among the Top 15 Hotels in the Middle East by the Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers Choice Awards.
