Oman Babymoon – Our Chedi Muscat Review

Oman Babymoon – Our Chedi Muscat Review

I am one of those people who will use any excuse to travel, so I hopped on the idea of Babymoons with great enthusiasm. We had a few as you will see in the posts to come as we wanted to try a variety of babymoon destinations. We had our first in Muscat, the lovely capital of Oman. Oman is only a short hop from our base in Doha and has a noticeably cooler climate making it a perfect retreat from the searing Doha sun. If you are looking to do a truly luxurious babymoon Oman style, then head to the Chedi like we did! Here’s our full Chedi Muscat review!

Our Oman Babymoon at the Chedi Muscat – the perfect babymoon destination in the Middle East?

We stayed at The Chedi Hotel, a luxury hotel only a short drive from Muscat international airport. From the moment we arrived the service was impeccable and the hotel oozed the luxury it promised. It was late when we arrived so we didn’t get a chance to properly explore until morning!

A pretty unbeatable breakfast spot

The Chedi Muscat Restaurants

Breakfast was served buffet style but this was no ordinary breakfast. This was the best breakfast buffet I have ever seen with live cooking stations and plenty of choice of outstanding quality. It was more akin to a Middle East Friday Brunch than your average breakfast buffet. To top it all, we got to have breakfast with this view. What better start to the day could there be?

The other meals were no disappointment either. As we were celebrating our anniversary we decided to have our special anniversary meal at their seafood restaurant on the beach! It was lovely eating dinner on the beach listening to sounds of the sea! The food itself was spectacular! We particularly enjoyed the lobster and the shrimp! If you decide to eat at the Chedi I am sure you won’t be disappointed by The Chedi Muscat restaurants.

Mocktails at the Chedi

One of the things that I loved about being pregnant in the Middle East, the heat certainly wasn’t it! – was the fact that everywhere you go there is a vast array of interesting and delicious mocktails. I never felt like I wasn’t having a special evening, as the mocktails were so delicious. The Chedi was no exception to this.

The Long Pool at Night - Babymoon destination

The Long Pool at Night (the longest pool in the Middle East)

The facilities at this hotel are beyond fault so much so we never actually left the hotel grounds which is something that we never do! We are all for exploring the local area usually. However when a hotel had amenities and service like the Chedi you just don’t want to leave! It really is one of the best places to stay in Muscat

The hotel boasts three pools, including the long pool, the longest pool in the Middle East. Impressive to say the least. Our personal favourite however was the beach pool, where you could sit on your lounger with your feet in the sand, and take a dip with an amazing view. It was also located next to the beach bar, which meant you were never short of fresh cold water – a must for any pregnant traveller.  The third pool, is the most child-friendly with shading over pool and large shaded beds around the edges. I can’t wait to take Baby E back, to give this one a try!

Overall opinion of The Chedi, Muscat, Oman – the perfect baby moon destination in the Middle East

So would I recommend The Chedi in Muscat for a babymoon? Absolutely! It is a great place for a Zika Free Beach Babymoon! The cooler Middle Eastern climate, beautiful views, fabulous food and mocktails make it the perfect choice for a Middle EastBabymoon!

I love the idea of a baby moon! I haven't ever thought of visiting Oman, but it looks stunning! I'm glad you had a wonderful time.

The buffet style breakfast sounds great. I love it when there is a varied choice. I never had a babymoon, shame they weren't a thing until now.
