Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa is perched 2,000 metres up on Jebel Akhdar Mountain range, known as the ‘Green Mountain of Oman’, with incredible canyon views. Its 173 rooms, suites and chalets offer modern luxury while maintaining the authenticity of the place. But the real magic happens in our experiences – whether it’s a guided hike through ancient villages, stargazing under pristine skies, or dining at its Vue Rooftop & Lounge, which at the highest rooftop venue in the Middle East.
The hotel has welcomed a growing number of Indian guests since its opening. It’s a diverse mix – multi-generational families, couples, and even corporate groups. Anoop Joseph, Director of Sales & Marketing, Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa, says, “What’s consistent across these segments is their appreciation for authentic experiences. Our Indian guests tend to be curious explorers who want to connect with local culture while enjoying luxury comforts. Many are drawn to our cooler mountain climate, especially during summer months when temperatures remain pleasant at our elevation.”
India market
Joseph believes that the potential from India is tremendous. “We are seeing a growing segment of Indian travellers seeking experiential luxury – meaningful experiences in unique destinations rather than just traditional luxury holidays. With excellent air connectivity between India and Oman, we are an accessible luxury destination that still feels like a discovery. The increasing interest in wellness travel from the Indian market makes our spa particularly appealing. We also see great potential in celebration trave,” he says.
James Reeves, General Manager, Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa, says, “What makes us different is our deep connection to this place. When I first arrived here three years ago, I spent time with the villagers, listening to their stories. Those experiences shaped everything about this property.”
