Alila Jabal Al Akhdar Resort Expansion
Alila Jabal Al Akhdar is an 86-room, five-star boutique property located 2,000 metres above sea level overlooking a dramatic gorge, surrounded by aweinspiring views of the Al Hajar Mountains. Oman Tourism Development Company (Omran) intends to further enhance this exciting resort offering by adding 36 new guest keys in clusters along the ridge, increasing the hotel property’s overall capacity to 122 keys.

The additional cluster will bring the resort in line with the average size for a semi-luxury boutique hotel with a spa. In addition to the accommodation clusters, the brief includes a new family area (consisting of a restaurant, kids Alila play, pool with changing room facilities and an eco centre), extensions to the existing board room and staff back-of-house facilities.
SSH has been appointed to deliver full architectural and multidisciplinary engineering design services, including construction supervision.

This beautifully designed property is one of a very few large mountain-top retreats in the GCC and is perhaps the only one that offers a 15C cooler temperature difference from sea level during the hot summer months, With architecture inspired by ancient forts with a contemporary twist, the expansion of the Alila Jabal Al Akhdar Resort will help to provide respite for more visitors wanting to experience boutique hospitality at its best.
