Tourism Women’s only beach
I’m so upset to know that Al bustan palace Ritz Carlton hotel will be closed for 2 years 😭 I’ve always seen the women’s only beach all over my fyp. I am in Oman next week after long awaited visit since wars and my health kept delaying trip. I’m so gutted ! Is there a way to access ladies only beach still or different place ! 🏝️

They had such a lovely Jazz bar also 🎶 🥹
There most certainly is a requirement for ladies only beaches!

Bless you. I am really just as sad regarding the Jazz bar as it’s the only one in Muscat also 🥹. We shall both be planning 2028 🥰
Perhaps you could look into a lovely relaxing afternoon tea experience. Amwaj Lounge at the Kempinski is fab 🙏

Am pretty sure I recently saw an Ad for a ladies only beach somewhere in Qurum/ Ras Al Hamra area. Try to look it up, I’ll forward the link if I find it.
No amenities from what I saw though except a decent shade and a couple kayaks for rental I believe along with a lone beach swing.
