Oman is a good choice for a private villa holiday, with options ranging from high mountain retreats to coastal escapes. Private pools give couples space to relax together, while larger villas can make family trips more comfortable. These resorts can put guests close to beaches, mountain scenery and local attractions, so a villa stay can be as much about exploring Oman as enjoying time at the resort itself.
