Jabal Akhdar, Oman—-: At 2,000 meters above sea level, where stars twinkle a little brighter and holiday magic arrives just a touch earlier, Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa is preparing for its most enchanting festive season yet. From 15 December 2024 to 1 January 2025, this mountaintop haven invites you to celebrate the holidays where even Santa’s reindeer might pause to catch their breath.
Among the clouds of Oman’s majestic Green Mountain, where the air is crisp and clear enough to spot a certain red-suited visitor making his early rounds (after all, we’re on his altitude-ordered delivery route!) the resort has crafted a spectacular programme of seasonal celebrations that blend traditional festivities with authentic Omani hospitality.
