# Atana Musandam Resort Atana Musandam Resort is a 110-room hotel in Khasab, Musandam's main town, with a pool, spa and dive centre, about 4 km from the airport.

Source : https://sabaro-travel.com/en/hotels/atana-musandam/ Atana Musandam Resort is the most complete hotel in Khasab, the main town of Musandam, Oman's exclave on the Strait of Hormuz: 110 rooms and suites laid out like an Omani village, with a pool, spa, garden and dive centre. It lies about 4 km from Khasab airport and a fifteen-minute walk from the fort. **Current situation**: several European foreign ministries advise against travel to Musandam, and they do not all give the same advice. Yours: (Depends on the traveller's country: see the table on https://sabaro-travel.com/en/hotels/atana-musandam/) Our guide [Oman and the regional situation](/en/guides/situation-oman/) follows how it changes. Sabaro offers no trip ideas for Musandam while this advice remains in force; this page provides information on the hotel. ## A town hotel Khasab is a small coastal town surrounded by mountains and khors, the narrow sea inlets that cut into the peninsula. No luxury hotel was found here; the Atana is the best equipped, with spacious rooms and resort facilities. It does not display a star rating. Not to be confused with the **Atana Khasab Hotel**, a neighbouring property under the same name. ## Rooms and suites Every room has a private balcony or terrace facing the khor and the mountains, plus a minibar and a prayer mat. For a small family, the **Superior** takes a third guest, and the hotel provides cots and connecting rooms; there is also a sea-view Superior, the Horizon View. The **Duplex** and the suites, for two, add a kitchenette and a second balcony or terrace; the **Musandam Suite**, with Omani décor, a separate bedroom and a living room, suits a couple who want more space. ## The sea from the hotel The hotel's dive centre offers courses, guided dives, snorkelling, boat rides and fishing trips (see [diving](/en/themes/diving/)). Musandam's inlets, such as Khor Ash Sham, are traditionally explored by dhow (the wooden boat) from Khasab. On the water, insist on life jackets for every passenger: pleasure boats do not always meet the necessary safety standards. ## Dining, spa and shop - **Arjan**: Moroccan cooking. - **Al Mawra**: all-day restaurant. - **Athila Spa** and a gym. - **Zaree**: a shop selling Omani crafts, clothing and accessories. ## Walking to the fort Khasab Fort, a fifteen-minute walk away, faces the Strait of Hormuz. Built in the early 17th century under Imam Nasir bin Murshid al-Ya'rubi and strengthened during the Portuguese occupation, it is square, with four corner towers and a round central tower. It opens daily from 8 am to 6 pm local time. The peninsula's other sights are described on our [Musandam](/en/oman/musandam/) page. ## Getting to Khasab - **By air**: Oman Air resumed its Muscat-Khasab flight on 18 April 2026, with four flights a week at restart; the flight takes about 1 h 05. - **By road from the UAE**: through the Al Darah crossing from Ras Al Khaimah. You need a passport valid for six months and must be the holder of the vehicle's insurance: rental cars are no longer admitted into Musandam. A fee of AED 30 (UAE dirhams) is charged by bank card. - **By ferry**: the service to Khasab could not be confirmed in October 2026. Coming from mainland Oman by road, and so crossing the UAE, you need a multiple-entry e-visa or a new 14-day visa at the border (see [visa for Oman](/en/guides/visa-oman/)). ## Climate In Khasab, the average daily maximum is 24-26°C from December to February and approaches 40°C from June to August. The sea drops to around 23°C in winter. ## Prices Atana Musandam does not publish prices for the dates we checked in March 2027; they are available on request. ## Frequently asked questions ### Where is Atana Musandam Resort?
