Perfection. The Chedi sits aloft with our most brilliant ideas on luxury and relaxation. From the small rooms to the enormous standalone suites, this resort will set up in a happy place beefy of angst.

The suites are expansive with complementary minibars, decanters of Vodka, Gin, and Whisky, along with constantly refilled jars of salted almonds, pistachios, and dried apricots. The suites are cleaned twice a day to keep you at the height of lux. Be sure to look forward to an afternoon delivery of macaroons, madeleines or other treats just to ensure you feel fawned over.

The gorgeous Long Pool architecturally over looks the Gulf of Oman, whole the poshest gym you ll find makes Pilates or the average weights session feel millionairesque. The true treat though is the Chedi Infinity pool set among the Omani-style suite bungalows. Right on the beach, you have the option of the warm sea water or the chilled pool. Sun poolside is augmented by a superb bar and restaurant, along with complimentary iceblocks. This pool makes it easy not to leave.

The Cheri s Restaurant is superb offering cuisine from across the world. The curries are superbly presented and make a great contrast to the Arabian food, symbolic of Oman s position on Indian trading lines. Have the Omani Nest for pudding for a real treat. Lastly, the Clubroom offers a grand environment to while away hours reading with coffee, fruit and sweet treats to one of the best soundtracks a hotel has ever produced.

Go here and treat yourself to the pinnacle of luxury and enjoy properly losing all concern for the outside world. Take money, the boutique is pretty impressive too.
