Shangri-La Muscat unveils ‘Eat Play Love' a Summer of Indulgence, Adventure and Connection
Inspired by the beloved book written by Elizabeth Gilbert and blockbuster film Eat Pray Love, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, guests are welcomed to discover a series of curated experiences designed to awaken the senses, nourish the soul, and create unforgettable memories. Echoing the journey of the film's heroine, the campaign brings together the pleasures of Eat, the adventure of Play, and the warmth of Love – offering a modern, meaningful escape in one of Oman's most iconic destinations.
At Shangri-La Muscat in Oman, the series of exciting summer experiences are designed to inspire solo, couple and family travellers to celebrate cuisine, adventure, and wellbeing. Set against the dramatic coastline of Oman, the twin resorts of Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah and its adults-only, Shangri-La Al Husn, each offer their own curated experiences, inviting guests to reconnect with joy through locally inspired moments.
At Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, the whole family can get involved in an interactive Italian cooking class led by the resort's chefs, followed by a shared dining experience that turns food into lasting memories in their EAT experience. For exciting PLAY moments, guests can embark on a full day of coastal adventure, beginning with a guided snorkeling and paddleboarding session in the bay, and ending with a tranquil sunset camel ride along the beach. Meanwhile the LOVE experience enables families to capture a one-hour Polaroid photo session with printed keepsakes, along with a delightful in-room surprise for children—featuring a storybook and plush turtle gift inspired by the endangered turtles nesting on the resort's beaches.
Along the coastline, the exclusive 16 years above luxury retreat Shangri-La Al Husn has introduced three unique experiences. Guests can journey through the traditions of Frankincense with Khalid Al Amri, the world's first Frankincense Sommelier, followed by a cooking class and a lunch overlooking the sea at Bait Al Bahr Restaurant as part of the EAT experience.
For PLAYFUL moments, those drawn to the ocean can enjoy a cruise in search of dolphins, and snorkel among vibrant reefs and sea turtles. For the ultimate self -LOVE treat, the resort's Luban Spa offers a serene 30-minute frankincense-infused back and shoulder massage, providing a restorative escape in a tranquil clifftop setting.
The 'Eat Play Love' experiences are available for stays until 31st of December 2025. Guests may select one tailored experience per night booked as part of the package, in addition to exclusive resort benefits including daily breakfast, beach and pool access, and thoughtful in-room amenities. This initiative is a testament to Shangri-La's commitment to create meaningful, destination-rich experiences that elevate every stay across its hotels and resorts.
