THE HOTEL
Al Bustan Palace is set against a dramatic mountain backdrop on 200 acres of private beach and lush green gardens. The business and commercial districts are close by, as are must-see sights including the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Bait Al Zubair Museum and Al Alam Palace.
Inside, the hotel is all sleek modernity with traditional touches. A huge chandelier hangs above the lobby, creating a sense of grandeur which is complemented by polished wooden floors and subtle décor. The 50 luxurious suites each offer a Butler Service - something you will not find anywhere else in Oman. All are appointed to reflect local traditions and art deco influences and are packed with Arabian cultural influences, art and history, all brought to life by intricate handcrafted wall coverings.
Dine beneath the stars at the Beach Pavilion Restaurant & Bar and enjoy the most exquisite seafood.
Oman's climate differs from one area to another. It is hot and humid in the coastal areas in the summer between May and August, while it is hot and dry in the interior with the exception of the higher mountains, which enjoy a moderate climate round the year. The climate is best from September through to April.
