St. Regis Hotels &
Resorts have announced the highly anticipated opening of The St. Regis Al Mouj Muscat Resort, marking the debut of
the brand in Oman. Blending local heritage, avant-garde design and the timeless
glamour of the St. Regis brand, the resort, developed by Alfardan Group,
introduces the signature hallmarks born at New York’s finest address of Fifth Avenue
and 55th Street, to the region’s luminaries.
“The
debut of the St. Regis brand in Oman marks a significant milestone as we
continue to grow our portfolio of the best addresses around the
world,” said Jenni Benzaquen, SVP The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis and Bulgari
Hotels & Resorts. “Oman is known for its vibrant cultural heritage,
pristine landscapes and warm hospitality. We look forward to inviting
guests to experience this thriving leisure destination, coupled with
the anticipatory service and cherished rituals for which the St. Regis brand is
renown.”
Located
in the heart of Al Mouj, one of Oman’s most exclusive neighbourhoods known for
its luxurious beachfront living, the exquisite resort is a gateway to the
captivating cultural wonders of Oman including the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque,
the Al Hajar Mountains, the natural pools of Wadi Shab, and the crystal water
of Daymaniyat Islands.
The
resort is positioned on the tranquil shores of the Al Mouj waterfront with
direct access to a secluded white sand beach and views across the lush,
manicured greens of the adjacent, award-winning golf course. The resort’s
curved superyacht-style architecture draws inspiration from the surrounding
environment and features a unique wave design. A soothing palette of oceanic
tones imbued with rich tan and local natural stone set the tone for the design,
a nod to Oman’s breathtaking landscape. Elegant décor accented with patterned
screens and textured fabrics flow through the public spaces. The resort
showcases an artwork collection with pieces from renowned Omani artists
including Anwar Sonya, Alia Al Farsi, Sami Al Syabi, Hassan Meer, Budoor Al
Riyami and calligraphy expert Fahad Al Balushi, alongside prominent
international artists including Arne Quinze, Barnaby Barford, Lorenzo Quinn,
Zhuang Hong Yi and Rana Begum.
The
St. Regis Al Mouj Muscat Resort features 250 lavishly appointed guest rooms and
suites including one-to-three-bedroom duplexes, offering expansive ocean, golf
course or city views. Guest rooms feature private balconies, walk-in wardrobes,
large bathrooms and luxurious amenities and are filled with natural light by
floor-to-ceiling windows. The legendary St. Regis Butler Service, a
personalised hallmark of the brand for more than a century, ensures that each
guest’s individual preferences are anticipated at every turn.
A
new vibrant destination in the capital, the resort presents exceptional
culinary journeys through the nine distinct dining venues including
internationally acclaimed and Michelin-starred concepts. Hakkasan serves
modern Cantonese cuisine and world-class mixology. Fine-dining
restaurant, Em Sherif, presents a meticulously crafted tribute to the art
of Lebanese dining. Roberto’s serves contemporary seafood-inspired
Italian cuisine. COYA embodies Latin American culture with authentic
Peruvian cuisine and innovative Pisco drinks, while Novikov Café blends
Mediterranean-inspired dishes with French, Italian, and Asian flavours using
indigenous ingredients in a modern brasserie setting. Karibu serves a
fusion of Zanzibari and Omani cuisine and Zorba offers a menu of
Greek specialties.
The Lounge offers a quiet corner to enjoy a locally
inspired take on the acclaimed signature St. Regis Afternoon Tea, while Sukkar offers
a world of sweet desserts and delicacies. The Stage, inspired by the King Cole Bar at The
St. Regis New York, features a curated
menu of classic expertly crafted cocktails. The intimate space also features an
expansive mural by Omani artist Hassan Meer, depicting the cultural hub, port
city and historic site of Muttrah, the old town of Muscat. At sunset, the
nightly St. Regis sabering ritual begins in The Stage to celebrate the transition from day
to night, while live entertainment sets the tone for the night.
The
first Guerlain Spa in the country will be a place of serenity and rejuvenation
with 11 treatment rooms including 2 exclusive couple suites, steam rooms, and
saunas, and will offer a bespoke wellness menu inspired by Omani
philosophy and traditions. The resort offers a variety of fitness and
recreation facilities including a fully equipped gym, personal training and
yoga sessions, multiple swimming pools, a private beach lined with plush
loungers and cabanas, a padel court, and access to Al Mouj Golf course designed
by Greg Norman. Through the brand’s Family Traditions programme, the Adventure
Hub Children’s Club is a colourful and lively space for younger guests to
enjoy.
The
resort awaits celebration as a timeless event space offering breathtaking
settings for cherished weddings, gatherings, and meetings, embodying the
glamour and heritage of the St. Regis brand. Two opulent ballrooms can host
receptions for up to 1000 guests, while the private beach and gardens are
idyllic settings for intimate occasions.
“The
St. Regis Al Mouj Muscat Resort heralds a new beacon of resort glamour to Oman.
We are excited to welcome both local and international guests seeking
unparalleled luxury to experience the first St. Regis in the country,” said
Tarek Mourad, General Manager, The St. Regis Al Mouj Muscat Resort.
