Save at the luxurious Shangri-La Barr Al Jissa Resort this Summer
Enjoy big savings at the luxury beachfront Shangri-La Barr Al Jissa Resort & Spa in Oman with Dive Worldwide on bookings made before 4 May.
Oman’s relative proximity to the UK makes it ideal for divers looking for a good value diving holiday. The Sultanate of Oman is surrounded by the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman, both attracting an abundance of marine life in their nutrient rich waters. Enjoy untouched reefs and copious marine life with plenty of healthy corals and large pelagics.
Guests stay seven nights at the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissa Resort & Spa, a luxury, modern resort featuring three hotels and a comprehensive array of facilities. Among them are: a range of restaurants and cafés, shops, bars, a Cool Zone kids’ club, adventure zone, mini golf, three pools (a lazy river connects two of them), fitness centre, tennis courts and activity centre. The resort also features the secluded turtle beach and the Turtle Care Project employing a dedicated ranger to ensure the safety of the nests as well as raise awareness amongst the guests and local communities.
The onsite dive centre is PADI-affiliated and offers a full range of diving courses as well daily boat dives and snorkelling trips. Night diving can be arranged locally too. There’s a spectacular variety of marine life at the 25-plus dive sites. Divers can expect to see honeycomb moray eels, stingrays, eagle rays and possibly several species of shark and bottlenose dolphin too. The resort also features a secluded turtle beach to protect the fragile nests of the green turtles, and visitors before August might be lucky enough to see the turtles nest and hatch.
Special Offer Price: from £1,595pp sharing, saving of £100 per person, including return flights from the UK, seven nights’ B&B accommodation, 5 days / 10 boat dives, tanks and weights, and transfers. Book by 4 May 2018.
