Si02 Beach Lounge officially opens at Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah

Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, the leading dining destination in Muscat proudly introduces a new venue to complete its 13 existing dining offerings. The Si02 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 SiO2 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.

 

The Inspiration

Inspired by contemporary island beach lounges and elegantly combined with the beautiful views of the Gulf of Oman, SiO2 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.

 

A creative menu

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.

SiO2 is home to carefully curated drinks like ‘Hajar’ which reflects the freshness of the season with a spicy twist, while the ‘Incense’ draws its inspiration and flavours from lemongrass. The Frankincense Spritz is a must-try and symbolic to the resort boasting its own Frankincense Garden and Sommelier.

Complementing the beverage selection, SiO2 presents a unique selection of Huqqa, an opportunity to indulge in this cherished tradition right by the beach. Guests are welcomed to revel in the flavours as they unwind in the gentle sea breeze, with their toes in the sand.

To top it off, the evening is crowned with a live DJ, spinning afro house beats as well as seasonal entertainment throughout the year.

 

"SiO2 The Beach Lounge is Muscat’s premier beach lounge, and we’re committed to making it an experience that encapsulates the essence of luxury and relaxation. SiO2 is not just a place; it's a feeling, a destination where one can truly relax this season with friends and loved ones under the stars. The venue is unique, and its boho-chic and laid-back atmosphere is a great appeal for the local community” shared Philippe Kronberg, Resort General Manager for Shangri-La Muscat, Oman.
