From desert dunes to turquoise seas
Oman is a land of quiet beauty, combining dramatic desert landscapes, rich culture, and luxurious coastal hideaways perfect for two.
Oman is one of the Middle East’s most captivating honeymoon destinations. It’s peaceful, welcoming, and effortlessly romantic, with dramatic scenery, elegant hotels, and a feeling of space that’s hard to find elsewhere. Whether you’re drifting through Muscat’s old souks, stargazing in the Wahiba Sands, or relaxing by the Indian Ocean, there’s a timeless charm that makes every moment feel special.
The Al Hajar Mountains are perfect for couples who love nature and a touch of adventure. Picture sunrise walks through rugged canyons, cooling dips in natural wadis, and evenings spent in luxurious mountain retreats overlooking terraced villages and endless valleys.
In Muscat, the capital, culture and relaxation blend beautifully. Wander through centuries-old forts, browse spice-scented souks, and watch the sun set over the corniche before returning to a luxury beachfront resort. Many couples combine a few nights here with time in the desert or mountains. It’s the perfect introduction to Oman’s gentle rhythm and warm hospitality.
The Musandam Peninsula, known as the “Norway of Arabia”, feels wonderfully remote. Its fjord-like inlets and turquoise bays make it ideal for private dhow cruises, snorkelling, and quiet, barefoot luxury. Down south, Salalah offers a more tropical feel with coconut palms, waterfalls, and soft white beaches, a dreamy contrast to the desert’s amber tones.
And of course, no Omani honeymoon is complete without the Wahiba Sands: vast dunes, candlelit dinners beneath starry skies, and the stillness of the desert that makes time seem to pause.

Our Oman honeymoon specialist, Ruth, says
"Oman is such a special honeymoon destination to recommend. It’s got this wonderful mix of adventure and calm... you can be exploring the dramatic Al Hajar Mountains one day, and relaxing in a beautiful coastal resort the next. The desert sunsets are breathtaking, and the people are genuinely some of the friendliest you’ll ever meet. It feels exotic and different, but never overwhelming. Every couple I’ve sent has come back completely in love with it."
