Oman getaway: Neem eco-cabin, close desert, mountains, forts and villages

You'll love our 15-acre, organic date and fruit farm in interior Oman. A unique destination, our 4 air-conditioned, self-catering 1-bedroom cabins with outdoor BBQ/kitchen, games room, and pool access, are a perfect ‘back to nature’ retreat for couples or singles. Explore the ancient forts, market-towns and villages of the historic Ash Sharqiyyah region, or simply sit back and enjoy the scenery, sunsets and star-lit skies from the privacy of your small terrace.

We have 1 king and 3 twin air-conditioned cabins to choose from. Neem Eco-cabin is one of our three twin cabins and has a field view. See our other listings for Sidr and Luban twins and Bedam, our King-size special.

All our cabins are designed to resemble traditional date palm shelters of the neighbouring Bedouin but with maximum comfort in mind. The three twin cabins, including Neem, are furnished with sprung mattress European-size luxury twin beds and the fourth with a King-size bed and padded headboards. Hotel-quality cotton sheets and towels are provided.] Hotel-grade cotton bedding and towels are provided. The modern bathroom suite with rainshower is stocked with eco-friendly products. Your private kitchenette is equipped with a Whirlpool fridge/freezer, granite counter-top, kettle, coffee plunger, supplies and all utensils and crockery.
A wardrobe provides hanging and shelf storage for longer stays.

The four cabins are offset from each other for maximum privacy, a short distance from a central area landscaped with shade and fruits trees, aloe and lemon grass for sitting and cooking in a purpose-built BBQ kitchen shaded by a date palm roof. All utensils and crockery are provided.

Outdoor space for guests comprises:-
• A small private terrace with table and chairs;
• a central purpose-built, roofed, BBQ kitchen and landscaped dining area;
• Barasti-enclosed game room with table tennis table;
• Large air-conditioned traditional ‘majlis’ reception for reading, relaxation and board games
• Walking perimeter track.

We cannot promise you silence; you will awaken to birdsong and bees humming in the trees, and sleep to the sound of a rustling breeze and background chatter of crickets. We can promise however a beautiful natural setting, fresh air and wide-open spaces in which to relax, wind-down and switch off (literally and metaphorically).

While the Oasis is in a secluded location, it is only a 5 minute drive to the nearest village, 15 minutes from 2 large supermarkets in Samad Al Shan, 20 minutes from the new Muscat-Sur six-lane highway and less than 90 minutes from Muscat International Airport. The market towns of Sinaw (30 minutes), Ibra (45 minutes) and Nizwa/Izki/Manah/Adam (60 minutes) are an easy day trip away.

The Oasis has phone reception and 4G signal. We are happy to provide a local sim card for the duration of your visit.

Regrettably, we cannot accommodate extra guests. Depending on our schedule, we may be able to cater for a later check-in time than the one listed. Let us know when booking if you think you might need this. Contact us if you wish to book more than six months ahead.

Guests are free to explore the Oasis keeping to the main paths and pick fruit, herbs and vegetables when in season. Play table tennis in our outdoor games room or sit and read a book or play a board game in the comfort of our large reception majlis/common room. Please note that the outdoor BBQ kitchen, pool, games room and reception majlis are open to all guests. Depending on whether other cabins are booked you may be sharing these spaces with us and upto 6 other travellers.

After a day exploring the nearby towns and villages of the historic Ash Sharqiyyah region, the camel enclosures outside the gate, or nearby Wadi Daqeeq, cool off with a relaxing swim in our infinity swimming pool of fresh water drawn from an artesian well (set timings).

Please note as this is a desert farm you may encounter all manner of small creatures and bugs. We cannot rule out the occasional scorpion or grass snake. For this reason we advise keeping to paths and cleared ground and consider it unsuitable for children.

We will usually be on hand at the farm and contactable by phone. If for any reason, we are not immediately available, there will always be someone on hand at the property to assist you. We are happy to give you recommendations during your stay should you so wish but otherwise will leave you to enjoy the peace and tranquillity.
