Wake Up and Smell the Rose Season at Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort

Every spring, the serene slopes of Al Jabal Al Akhdar transform into a breathtaking spectacle of colour and fragrance with the blooming of indigenous pink Damask roses. At Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort, this season is observed and celebrated with deep cultural reverence and a host of immersive experiences. Witness the essence of this enchanting time and see the beauty of these blossoms like never before.

Join us at the highest resort in the Middle East for the The Rose Water of Jabal Al Akhdar tour. Accompanied by our expert Mountain Guru, embark on a 90-minute guided tour through ancient damask rose farms and one of the oldest rose distilleries in the region.

During the tour, guests will have the opportunity to watch the local rose-pickers in action as they work their way through the different stages of rose water production, from plucking the blossoms from the stems to placing them inside traditional mud ovens, known as Al-duhjan, for distillation.

As you explore the mountain's terraced farms with a variety of climbing routes and hiking trails, the air is thick with the sweet scent of blooming roses, a fragrance that promises not only enchantment but also a peek into the rich heritage of rose water production — a craft passed down through generations.

For those who prefer a more relaxing encounter with the rose season, the Anantara Spa offers the luxurious Rose Rescue Ritual. This 90-minute treatment uses the hydrating qualities of Damask roses combined with soothing spa techniques to provide a rejuvenating experience. Starting with a rose-themed welcome drink, the session includes a milk and rose petal foot ritual, a nourishing express facial, and a body massage with rose oils, ensuring you leave feeling revitalised and in harmony.

The Rose Season at Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort is a time of beauty and renewal, offering both adventure and tranquillity amidst the stunning backdrop of one of Oman's most legendary locales.
