Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort and Spa, the first boutique lifestyle brand resort of the IHG Hotels and Resorts in the region will be officially open on September 1.
The launch of Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort and Spa marks a significant milestone in Oman’s burgeoning tourism sector and is all set to be a major attraction for tourists visiting one of the highest peaks of Oman. IHG's first Hotel Indigo resort in the region stands out for its appearance as the structure and appeal are standing close to Oman’s diverse topography and culture.
It has drawn inspiration from the local neighbourhood, culture and popular trends in food, drink and design to create a warm and vibrant atmosphere, providing a gateway to discovering and exploring some of the world’s most inspiring cities and neighbourhoods.
"Our team has poured their heart and soul into creating a place that captures the very essence of Al Jabal Al Akhdhar. Every detail and every experience has been carefully curated to immerse you in the story of this remarkable destination, connect with the local culture and create memories that will stay long after you leave. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the magic of this place. We can't wait to welcome guests to our neighbourhood and share the wonders of Al Jabal Al Akhdhar,” James Reeves, the newly appointed General Manager, said.
Nestled 2,000 metres above sea level amidst the dramatic peaks and canyons of Oman's ‘Green Mountain’ where ancient traditions blend with contemporary comfort, this retreat features 173 beautifully designed rooms, suites and chalets, each offering majestic views. The design of the Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort and Spa echoes the colours and textures of the mountain, creating a space that is both strikingly beautiful and deeply rooted in Omani heritage. The surrounding landscape of rugged cliffs, terraced orchards and historic villages, including the Unesco World Heritage site of the Falaj Al Khatmain irrigation system, give a blend of ancient and modern aesthetic values to the hotel.
With an over 30-year career leading award-winning luxury hotels across nine countries, James brings a blend of expertise, passion and a hands-on approach to this one-of-a-kind destination.
“Al Jabal Al Akhdhar has so much natural beauty, cultural richness and untold stories,” said Reeves. “I am excited for our guests to discover this special neighbourhood — from exploring ancient villages to enjoying the cool tranquillity of the mountain air, and indulging in rejuvenating wellness treatments.”
