What you'll do

Muscat's most famous hotel is surprisingly brilliant for children: the Family Splash Zone has slides, a splash pad and a mini zipline; Ritz Kids club takes ages 4–9 and a separate Teens Club (10–16) means older kids aren't dumped with the toddlers.
The setting — a marble palace between the Hajar mountains and a huge private beach — makes even a one-night staycation feel like proper travel. The lazy river and infinity pools do the rest.
It's 15 minutes from central Muscat around the corniche road, so a weekend here costs no travel time at all.

🎒 Bring & wear

Swim kit and rash vests; everything else is provided.
