Atana Khasab Hotel

A clifftop hotel gazing over the Strait of Hormuz.

Atana Khasab Hotel blends traditional Omani warmth with a contemporary resort feel, perched dramatically above the waters of the Musandam coast. The property’s tiered layout ensures that many rooms, terraces, and dining spots face the Strait of Hormuz—where dhows and dolphins cut through the sea below.

Inside, the 60 rooms and suites combine neutral tones with wood accents, opening onto balconies or terraces that frame either the rugged Hajar mountains or sweeping sea views. Days unfold between the outdoor pool, shaded gardens, and restaurant terrace, where fresh seafood and regional dishes share space with international classics. For lighter moments, a poolside café serves snacks against a backdrop of waves.

Guests with a taste for exploration can arrange dhow cruises into the fjords, snorkeling outings, or guided mountain safaris directly from the hotel. Evenings tend to be quieter, with sea breezes drifting across the open-air spaces and the city lights of Khasab twinkling nearby.
