LOCATION
Anantara Al Jabal Akhdar is perched atop the majestic Al Jabal Al Akhdar mountain range in the Sultanate of Oman, offering guests a truly elevated experience. Situated approximately 2,000 metres above sea level, the resort enjoys a unique vantage point amidst the rugged terrain of the Al Hajar Mountains. This elevated position not only provides stunning panoramic views of the surrounding cliffs and canyons but also creates a cooler and more temperate climate compared to the desert plains below.

GETTING THERE
Travelling to Anantara Al Jabal Akhdar from the United Kingdom is a seamless journey that begins with a flight to Muscat International Airport, the main gateway to Oman. Several airlines offer direct flights from major UK cities such as London, Manchester, and Birmingham to Muscat. Upon arrival, guests can either arrange for a private transfer or opt for a rental car to embark on the scenic drive to the resort. The approximately 2.5-hour journey takes travellers through picturesque mountain roads, offering glimpses of traditional Omani villages and stunning landscapes along the way.

WHEN TO GO
The ideal time to visit Anantara Al Jabal Akhdar varies depending on personal preferences and desired activities. The cooler months, spanning from October to April, are generally considered the best time to visit, as temperatures are milder and more comfortable for outdoor exploration and adventure. During this period, guests can enjoy activities such as hiking, mountain biking, and cultural tours without the intensity of the summer heat. However, for those seeking a quieter and more serene experience, the summer months, from May to September, offer the opportunity to escape the crowds and indulge in the resort's luxurious amenities and indoor experiences. Despite warmer temperatures during the summer, the resort's elevated location still provides a refreshing retreat from the heat of the lowlands.
