Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel

Al Bustan Palace sits on Al Bustan Street in Muscat. It is a twenty-minute walk from Qurum Beach and lies a short drive from the Royal Opera House Muscat.

While most hotels in the city prioritize proximity to the commercial hub of Shatti Al Qurum, this property leans into its isolation. It offers a private beach and direct sea views that feel removed from the capital's bustle, making it the better choice for those who view a hotel as a retreat rather than a base for sightseeing. Its scale is imposing, but the gym and fitness classes provide enough structure for guests who prefer to remain on-site during their stay.
