Minimalist Asian-influenced beachfront hotel in Ghubra, known for its long lagoon-style pools, private beach, spa and the fine-dining restaurant The Restaurant.
The Chedi Muscat is a luxury beachfront hotel in North Ghubra, on Way 3215 in the western part of Muscat, Oman, roughly 20 minutes by car from Muscat International Airport and a short drive from the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and Muscat Grand Mall. The property is run by GHM and is known for a restrained, minimalist Asian-influenced design: low buildings, clean lines, water features and landscaped courtyards set against the Gulf of Oman shoreline rather than a high-rise tower. Accommodation ranges from Deluxe and Club Rooms to Suites and larger Villa or Residence categories, with the Club level adding dedicated lounge service. Standout amenities include a long lagoon-style pool, a private stretch of beach, a full-service spa and a fitness centre. Dining is a central part of the stay. The fine-dining restaurant The Restaurant anchors the food offering, supported by additional restaurants and a bar, and breakfast is generally described as extensive. Room service, a concierge desk and airport transfers are available. The service style is polished and low-key, aimed at couples, honeymooners, leisure travellers seeking a resort atmosphere inside the capital, and senior business visitors. Families are accepted, although the quiet, adult-leaning mood is a defining trait. Rates in the OMR 130-400 range per night place it among the most expensive hotels in Muscat. Because the hotel sits in Ghubra rather than in the Mutrah or Old Muscat heritage districts, visitors usually rely on taxis or ride-hailing apps to reach the souq, the corniche and the forts, which are around 25-30 minutes away depending on traffic.
