Nestled amid the breathtaking Omani cliffs and overlooking the azure waters of the Gulf of Oman, our resort offers a unique connection to nature. From spotting playful dolphins to witnessing the awe-inspiring sight of over 250 turtles laying their eggs on our shores each year, we take immense pride in preserving this extraordinary environment with the help of our dedicated turtle ranger,” said Philippe Kronberg, the Resort General Manager of Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, Muscat. “What sets us apart even further is being home to the world’s only Frankincense Sommelier, who brings the rich heritage of this cherished resin to life for our guests. Whether through its incorporation in spa rituals, culinary delights, or perfumery, Frankincense reflects the essence of Shangri-La—creating meaningful experiences rooted in authenticity, care, and a deep respect for the destination we are privileged to call home.” added Kronberg.
