The Chedi, Muscat, Oman

Oman is rapidly becoming one of the premier tourist destinations of The Gulf. This Sultanate has created some of the most beautiful resorts found anywhere in the world. The Chedi, opened in 2003 and developed by General Hotel Management Ltd. (GHM), is one of Oman's finest resorts! It is located on its own private beach at the Bouchar Beachfront of Muscat and the architecture used in the project combines both Arabian and Asian themes.

The Chedi is an Ultra-Luxury development that is so beautiful it sometimes appears to me that it materialized right out of some modern day Arabian fantasy! The gardens are palatial with exotic flowers, geometrically perfect greenery and trickling fountains. The lobby features sparkling marble services, a symphony of Arabic lanterns, and fragrant flowers to welcome guests as they check-in...with drink and cold towel in hand! The Chedi is a great place to go if you need to de-stress from the fast pace of the Dubai financial scene.

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am a big fan of Oman. It is not as dynamic as Dubai or Abu Dhabi....but it is not meant to be. Rather, Oman is like an Arabian Oasis where you can go to rejuvenate, relax and recharge. And resorts like The Chedi offer the finest facilities anywhere in The Gulf to do this!
