Shangri-La : Valentine’s is all about making an impression

Valentine’s is all about making an impression. Sweep off her feet with a collection of experiences on a two-day stay in the Royal Suite of Shangri-La Al Husn including limousine and helicopter transfers, designed dinner on the cliffs, a true masterpiece jewellery by Majliya, and much more.

You are picked up by Shangri-La’s chauffeur-driven Bentley at your place in the afternoon for an overnight stay and day at the iconic Shangri-La Al Husn in Muscat. While in the car, your butler takes you to a helipad where you are whisked off for a private helicopter ride.

You and her only. Soaring high in the air. The beginning of dusk leaves hues of orange and pink splashed across Oman’s sky. Witness the sun as it sets behind the iconic Sultan Qaboos Mosque or one of the old Forts adorning the coastline of Muscat and rugged mountains. Onboard, with chilled beverages, you marvel at the scenic views, before you get to the most epic backdrop – Shangri-La Al Husn and its dramatic landscape sprawled across 124 acres.

This is just the beginning of your romantic getaway. Upon landing next to one of the most coveted beaches in Muscat – also one of the five turtle nesting sites in Oman – a classic car awaits to drive you to the Royal Suite at Al Husn, the adults-only castle. Spend the night and day in the lap of luxury, occupied once by Michael Jackson, Ed Sheeran, and members of the Royal Family of the Gulf countries. Discover the epitome of sophisticated Arabian luxury, inspired by the famous 17 th -century Omani castle at Jabreen, which is a perfect blend of palatial elegance and modern design elements.

In the evening, a personalised clifftop dinner paired with selected beverages awaits you. The Executive Chef takes you on a gastronomic journey with a menu reimagined and filled with flavoursome handpicked ingredients. Serenaded by a live performance, you enjoy a night under the stars facing the Gulf of Oman.

Back in the suite, a surprise for your loved one awaits. A stunning handwritten note with a voucher to curate a piece of jewellery of your choice from Majliya, a luxury Arabian jewellery brand dedicated to a legacy of preserving past culture by creating contemporary handcrafted jewellery. Your experience does not stop here. Wake up in a room adorned with flowers and indulge in an en-suite gourmet breakfast tailored to your choice coupled with Chef’s specials. During the day, enjoy a 90-minute-long couple massage with the precious Frankincense and feel the joy overtake your soul.

As you drive away with your partner to conclude this sojourn, you know the world is your oyster.
