If you are looking for some Winter sun or simply would like to discover a new region in the Middle East, you can’t go wrong by picking Oman as your next family destination. But what are the best places to stay in Oman suitable for families?
In this guide, you will find my shortlist of the best kids friendly hotels in Oman scattered around the country with of course some focus near the capital Muscat.
About Oman
Oman offers a unique combination of deserts, mountains, beaches, and wadis (natural swimming pools), making it ideal for family adventures.
You can take a thrilling 4×4 desert safari in the Wahiba Sands, visit the lush oasis of Wadi Shab or Wadi Bani Khalid, and unwind by the pristine beaches along the coast.
Kids will love exploring these varied landscapes, which offer so many photo-worthy spots. But I am sure you will spend a lot of time in your resort hotel too where you can find a kids club, different swimming pools and exciting activities.
How to Reach Oman
Reaching Oman from the UK is quite straightforward. Direct flights from London to Muscat are available with Oman Air and British Airways, taking around 7–8 hours.
Alternatively, there are connecting flights through Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Doha with airlines like Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Etihad.
Best Time to Visit Oman with Kids
The best time to visit Oman is between October and April. During this period, the weather is warm but pleasant, ranging between 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F), perfect for outdoor activities.
This is ideal for families since the summer months can be intensely hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F), which can limit outdoor exploration.
