Sitting just 20 minutes north of old Muscat, right where the Al Hajar Mountains meet the Gulf of Oman, The Chedi Muscat is an exclusive beach resort of Oman and the country’s first contemporary, minimalist hotel imagined by architect Jean-Michel Gathy. The 160 rooms are designed like traditional Omani houses, and beyond, a maze of topiary and paved walkways leads to reflecting pools and fountain courtyards. This is the Sultanate of Oman seen through a different lens...one that perfectly mixes Omani architecture and Asian Zen.. 
Discover the hotel It’s home to the longest pool in the Middle East but that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to The Chedi Muscat. The hotel manages to have a prime beachfront location while also being just 20 minutes north of the capital of Oman, making it an ideal choice for both business and leisure travelers. The hotel is all about being the country’s first contemporary hotel, like the rooms in low-rise buildings with their beige and white textiles, and the common areas with their Moroccan lanterns and mashrabiya panels. On the gastronomy front, the hotel is home to 6 restaurants and 2 lounges while in the evening, couches surrounding the Long Pool also transform into an open-air lounge for cocktails and small bites under the stars.

Chablé YucatánNext, this one’s a 19th-century hacienda that nature reclaimed for the longest time and which took 12 years to transform into a wellness retreat. Welcome to the Chablé Yucatan. Arriving here is almost a surreal experience: The towering trees, the stillness, the fact that the closest civilization is the tiny town of Chocholá two miles down the road, and if you arrive at night, the magic of the darkness against the star-lit sky and lanterns hung from branches. The resort feels almost crafted from nature, with just 40 casitas engulfed by giant palms, restaurants rooted in stories of Mayan culture and a spa with treatment rooms jutting out across an ancient cenote.
