You know you live in Dubai when you consider driving with your windows down a luxury – and that simple pleasure is the first of several experienced during a weekend at Alila Jabal Akhdar. That, along with an infinity pool overlooking breathtaking mountain views 2,000m above sea level, a bed so big you can’t reach the sides, five-star service and world-class food.
It’s hard to believe this gem, a full 15 degrees cooler than Dubai, is only next door in Oman. It’s a six-hour drive, but let me tell you, the cool breeze alone is worth it.
