BAGNODESIGN has recently completed the supply of a truly distinct property set deep within the Al Hajar mountain range in Oman. Alila Jabal Akhdar is surrounded by awe-inspiring views of untouched beauty and offers guests an idyllic retreat in the height of comfort and luxury.This spectacular region is the ideal location for such a unique hotel, boasting 78 suites and villas designed with earthy tones of wood and stone. BAGNODESIGN’s product portfolio perfectly complements the property’s interior which surrounds guests with just the right balance of contemporary style and the authentic flavours of Oman’s rich history and culture. The customised brassware and accessories accent the hotel’s bold yet warm hues, resulting in charming bathroom spaces – a haven of relaxation complete with modern conveniences.

Guy Wilson, Managing Director of Projects at BAGNODESIGN, commented: “We are delighted to be involved in a project of this nature. At BAGNODESIGN, we believe in investing in strategic relationships, built on trust and support, to ensure that the needs of our clients and partners, most of whom are exclusive within the markets in which we operate, surpass expectation time after time.”

Located within the main hotel building or arranged in individual clusters, the suites and villas are generously spaced out around the magnificent cliff top. This resort is the ultimate in seclusion, while at the same time, offers uninterrupted views of the dramatic gorge down below.
