Shangri La’s Al Waha Hotel

The resort's sustainability initiatives are showcased through Shangri-La's Care For People Project, which strives to uplift underprivileged communities. By promoting education and health care support, the resort aims to create a positive impact in the lives of those less fortunate.

Furthermore, Shangri-La's Care For Nature Project underscores their dedication to preserving the environment. Biodiversity conservation and restoration efforts are at the forefront of their mission, ensuring the natural beauty of Oman remains untouched for generations to come.

The resort's culinary program is also built around their pledge to source produce locally and ethically. Their menus proudly feature sustainable items, reducing the carbon footprint associated with food sourcing. Not only does this approach elevate the dining experience for guests, but it also supports the local economy.

Finally, Shangri-La's Al Waha Hotel goes beyond environmental and community efforts; their support of Make-A-Wish International also brings a ray of hope all over the world to children and their families during challenging times.

Family

Compromised of a small collection of luxurious resorts, the Barr Al Jissah Waha and its nearby sister property Al Bandar are two of the most family-friendly destinations in Oman. Each has their own pool and more famously a 500-metre lazy river that links the two hotels which are popular with both adults and kids.

Treated like VIPs, children are well catered for through a comprehensive kids’ club and dedicated adventure zone, which often includes a turtle nesting programme throughout the summer months.

Al Waha is more suitable for younger children, particularly those with infants and toddlers as there are a wide variety of baby facilities and amenities available upon request.

For parents to get the most out of their time at these resorts, make use of the two swimming pools, four floodlit tennis courts, on-site sailing school, and scuba diving lesson.

If in the mood for pure relaxation, make use of the 24H babysitting services, and line up a few treatments at the CHI, The Spa, a rejuvenating oasis that will leave you feeling replenished and prepared to enjoy the rest of your holiday.
