IHG Hotels & Resorts debuts its first Hotel Indigo resort in the Middle East with the opening of Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa.

Jabal Akhdar, meaning “Green Mountain” in Arabic, is a range in Oman known for its landscapes and cooler climate. Famed for terraced gardens, ancient villages, and dramatic canyons, the new Hotel Indigo resort is located 2,000 meters above sea level. It features 173 rooms, suites, and chalets, each offering views of the neighboring mountains.

Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar is located a two-hour drive from Oman’s capital, Muscat, and a six-hour drive from Dubai.

James Reeves, general manager, Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa said: “Our team has poured their heart and soul into creating a place that captures the very essence of Jabal Akhdar. Every detail and every experience have been carefully curated to immerse guests in the story of this remarkable destination, connect with the local culture and create memories that will stay long after you leave. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the magic of this place. We can’t wait to welcome guests to our neighborhood and share the wonders of Jabal Akhdar.”

Highlights of the property include:

• a design that echoes the colors and textures of the mountains as well as Omani culture and heritage;
• the Jala Spa & Wellness, which features three distinct wellness zones with bespoke treatment experiences – immune-boosting Himalayan salt rooms, extensive therman zones, and indoor vitality pools;
• and three dining venues – Vue Rooftop & Lounge, Wadi Habib, and Zaatar – that draw inspiration from the ancient Zanaibari spice trade and the bounty of fresh, local ingredients.

The opening of Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa marks a significant milestone as IHG’s first Hotel Indigo resort in the region and will start welcoming guests from 1st September 2024.

As part of the IHG Luxury and Lifestyle portfolio, Hotel Indigo is  known for capturing the essence of neighborhoods worldwide. With more than 158 Hotel Indigo hotels open globally and an additional 133 in the pipeline (as of June 30, 2024), each Hotel Indigo property draws inspiration from local culture, trends, and design.
