Honest review
Want to combine beach Muscat with city Muscat — W Muscat solves both at once: the resort stands on the Shatti Al Qurum shoreline, with one of the best beaches and the city's whole infrastructure next door.
Choosing a category, do not get lost in the names — Wonderful, Spectacular, Fabulous, Fantastic, Marvelous, WOW. Every room has a view of the azure Gulf of Oman, so look for the differences in format, not in the angle.
Two of the five restaurants are worth booking for the interiors alone: in one, a mirrored ceiling and walls create the effect of dining underwater; in another, a starfall of hundreds of bulbs lights up above you. Design is the main character here altogether — down to furniture that exists in a single copy.
After walks around Muscat, recover in the spa — from massages to Ayurvedic practices; there is a gym with the latest equipment and a tennis court.
A Marriott resort, opened in 2019, a single nine-storey building. A fit for couples and travellers who come to see Oman rather than sit on the grounds.
