The Si0 Beach Lounge officially opens on Al Bandar beach to redefine the coastal experience in Muscat, as the city’s hotspot for a barefoot experience. Elegantly set on the edge of the 500m long stretched beach of Al Bandar hotel, opposite the resort’s two dining venues Capri Court and Chow Mee, the SiO Beach Lounge draws its name from the very elements that make up the sandy shores – quartz, silicon and oxygen. This synthesis of nature serves as inspiration for an authentic place where the elements of earth, breeze and sea converge to create an unforgettable afternoon and evening atmosphere.
Inspired by contemporary island beach lounges and elegantly combined with the beautiful views of the Gulf of Oman, SiO boasts a thoughtfully designed space with a thatched roof bar made from palm tree leaves. The combination of beach, sand and contemporary furniture with white tones paired with blue and beige cushions adds a glamour and yet authentic touch to the dramatic sunset setting behind the Hajar mountains. The white drapes around the rattan cozy lounge brings a private, light and cozy sense of place to the venue for a warmer experience.
The beach lounge can cater for 70 guests while keeping the venue intimate and exclusive. The menu is crafted to rejuvenate guests’ senses with a creative blend of cocktails and mocktails – all inspired by the Omani ingredients and flavours of the region. SiO is home to carefully curated drinks like ‘Hajar’ which reflects the freshnes.
