WORLD TRAVELLER X AL BUSTAN PALACE, A RITZ-CARLTON HOTEL<br />

STAYCATION<br />

Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel<br />

This mountainside palace in Muscat dazzles with its old world grandeur<br />

THE ROOMS & SUITES<br />

Exuding the romance of a bygone era, the<br />

shimmering domes, sandstone turrets<br />

and crystal chandeliers of Al Bustan<br />

Palace befit its royal title, while wondrous<br />

views of the Al Hajar Mountains and<br />

Gulf of Oman evoke a fairy-tale charm.<br />

Classic meets cutting edge in the recently<br />

renovated rooms and suites, with rich<br />

furnishings, contemporary artworks and<br />

modern technology blending old and new.<br />

THE FOOD<br />

Sampling fresh seafood at Beach Pavilion<br />

Bar & Grill wows around the clock: think<br />

sea and mountain views by day and<br />

romantic lighting by night. For authentic<br />

Chinese cuisine in a refined setting, head<br />

to China Mood, or opt for Turkuaz, which<br />

bursts with delectable Turkish flavours.<br />

An elegant afternoon tea experience<br />

awaits at the Atrium Tea Lounge, with its<br />

dramatic 125-foot-high domed ceiling.<br />

THE ACTIVITIES<br />

When you're not filling your feed with<br />

Instagram-worthy shots, the private<br />

palm-lined beach, six glistening<br />

swimming pools and watersports galore<br />

offer ample motivation to dive right<br />

in. Your little ones will have heaps of<br />

fun splashing the day away at the new<br />

outdoor Family Aqua Land, or zooming<br />

along on the zipline, while you make time<br />

for self-care at the resort's luxury spa.<br />
