Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel to Begin an Extensive Renovation

Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel, will begin an extensive renovation from July 2026, elevating its guest rooms, dining venues, and public spaces before reopening with a renewed luxury experience. The hotel remains open until the end of June 2026, giving guests a final chance to experience it in its current form.

One of the most dramatic resorts in the Gulf, Al Bustan Palace is set against the rugged Al Hajar mountains and nestled beside the Sea of Oman, spread across 200 acres of lush beachfront landscaping. Its 250 rooms and suites blend contemporary design with traditional Omani accents, anchored by a soaring, palatial atrium lobby.

Muscat's luxury scene has grown more competitive, and the renovation positions Al Bustan Palace to reassert its place at the top. Its mountain-and-sea setting remains among the most spectacular of any Ritz-Carlton.
