Framed by rugged mountains and the Gulf of Oman, Al Waha at Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah is a family-friendly coastal retreat offering spacious sea-facing rooms, a winding lazy river, world-class dining and easy access to Muscat’s cultural sights and golden beaches.
Set between mountains and sea, Al Waha is the most family-focused of the three hotels within the Barr Al Jissah resort.

Interconnecting rooms and two-bedroom family suites make it easy to stay together without giving up space or privacy.
