One-of-a-kind mountain escape

PERCHED on the awe-inspiring peaks of Oman's Jabal Akhdar, the newly-opened Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar stands as a testament to meticulous planning and design and to the tenacity of the team in moving man and materials up the remote mountains to create a luxury resort steeped in the destination's rich culture and natural beauty.

The first Hotel Indigo resort in the Middle East is a one-of-a-kind mountain escape that invites guests to one of Oman's most captivating neighbourhoods. The hotel features 173 beautifully designed rooms, suites, and chalets, offering a variety of accommodations, including King and Twin Mountain/Canyon View rooms, spacious two-bedroom terrace suites, and luxurious one-bedroom pool or two-bedroom balcony chalets.

The driving concept behind the development of Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar was to create an experience that captures the essence of its extraordinary location, James Reeves, General Manager of Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort and Spa, tells Gulf Construction in an exclusive interview.

"Our vision was to create a resort that would honour this special neighbourhood and reimagine life on the Green Mountain. We're proud to say that this project is more than just another luxury resort. We offer a carefully curated blend of world-class comfort and authentic local experiences. At Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort and Spa, everything from the design that echoes the mountain's rugged terrain to the curated experiences that connect guests with the local traditions is a tribute to this extraordinary region," he remarks.

Owned by Redhat AI Jabal and operated by IHG Hotels and Resorts, the imposing hotel was designed by Arkan Majan, Oman-based engineering consultancy which also translated this vision into reality through its construction wing. In fact, Arkan Majan was both the main contractor and interior fit-out contractor. Interior design was carried out by LEO Design+David T'Kint.
