A Valentine’s Day Tale by the Arabian Sea

Valentine’s Day is all about making an impression. Guests are invited to sweep a loved one off their feet with a collection of romantic experiences on a stay in the Royal Suite of Shangri-La Al Husn, Muscat including limousine and helicopter transfers, a private dinner designed to the guests’ tastes on top of a clifftop, as well as a 1,000 OMR voucher to create a bespoke piece of jewellery at Majliya, a luxury Arabian jewellery brand.

Picture this: Guests are picked up in a Bentley car and on their way to the resort, the Shangri-La chauffeur takes them to Al Sharqiya Aviation for a surprise private helicopter ride along the mountain range and coast of the Gulf Of Oman, before arriving at the resort.

Dusk leaves hues of orange and pink splashed across Oman’s sky as guests are invited to watch the spectacular sunsets casting brilliant backdrops behind the iconic Sultan Qaboos Mosque and several old forts along Muscat’s coastline. Stocked with chilled beverages, the helicopter’s route takes guests alongside the mountain range and past Shangri-La Al Husn which spans an impressive 124-acres of manicured land.

Upon landing next to one of the most renowned beaches in Muscat –and one of the five turtle nesting sites in Oman, a classic car awaits to drive guests to the Royal Suite at Shangri-La Al Husn.

Guests are invited to spend their time in Oman soaking up Arabian luxury at Shangri-La Al Husn which is inspired by the famous 17th century Omani castle at Jabreen - the perfect blend of palatial elegance and modern design elements.

As dusk falls, a completely bespoke dinner paired with selected beverages is served atop a low-rise cliff overlooking the resort’s private beach. The Executive Chef takes guests on a gastronomic journey with a menu designed with flavoursome hand-picked ingredients. Serenaded by a live performance, guests can enjoy a night under the stars overlooking the Gulf of Oman.

Perfectly placed on the bedside table is the icing on the cake - a handwritten note with a 1,000 OMR voucher enabling guests to curate a piece of jewellery of their choice from Majliya. The luxury Arabian jewellery brand is dedicated to creating contemporary handcrafted jewellery that preserves the history and culture of Oman.

The experience does not end here. Waking up in a sumptuous suite adorned with flowers, guests are treated to an in-room gourmet breakfast tailored to the guests’ choice coupled and finished with specials from the chefs. A 90-minute long couple massage infused with Frankincense in the resort’s Luban Spa enables guests to laze the day away and enjoy a memorable experience at Shangri-La Al Husn.
