Experience
Let Oman’s sacred resin guide you on a journey of personal renewal. Begin in the spa kitchen, where you’ll craft your own frankincense scrub using native ingredients. Feel the grounding power of this ancient resin as it’s used in a full-body exfoliation, oil massage, and gentle head ritual that leaves you restored. Then, transition to a five-course dinner where the fragrance and flavor of frankincense infuse each dish. Alongside our Omani colleague, you’ll explore stories of trade routes, healing rituals, and the spiritual symbolism of this timeless substance. With your own spa kit to take home, the ritual continues—carrying its calm long after the moment ends.
