Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah- Muscat has introduced SiO2 The Beach Lounge.
SiO2 The Beach Lounge by Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah- Muscat is set to redefine the coastal experience in Muscat, as the city’s hotspot for a feet-in-the-sand experience. 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, SiO2 The Beach Lounge draws its name from the very elements that make up the sandy shores – quartz, silicon and oxygen.
Rene D. Egle General Manager, Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah inspired by contemporary island beach lounges and elegantly combined with the beautiful views of the Gulf of Oman, SiO2 The Beach Lounge boasts a thoughtfully designed space with a roof bar made from palm tree leaves. The combination of beach and contemporary furniture adds a glamour touch to the dramatic sunset setting behind the Hajar mountains. The white drapes around the rattan cosy lounge bring a light yet cosy 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 at SiO2 The Beach Lounge is crafted to revive guests’ senses with a creative blend of cocktails and mocktails to enhance guests’ palate- all inspired by the four elements of nature – fire, water, earth, and air. The “Above the Clouds” and “The Flying Bird” cocktails, influenced by the air element, feature frankincense and a phoenix feather for a mythical touch. Under the fire element, savour the “Scarlet Glow” or opt for the non-alcoholic “Shazam! Mocktail,” our unique classic passion fruit mojito.
The expertly curated beach lounge menu ensures an exquisite à la carte offering available daily from 5 pm until 1 am.
Complementing the beverage selection, SiO2 The Beach Lounge offers a tantalising array of light bites including hot and cold Mezze as well as arancini or prawn tempura, for an enhanced beachside experience, perfectly paired with the beverage selections.
For shisha enthusiasts, SiO2 The Beach Lounge presents a unique opportunity to indulge in this cherished tradition right by the beach. Guests are welcome to revel in the flavours as they unwind in the gentle sea breeze late afternoon.
To top it off, the evening is crowned with the sounds of our resident DJ, spinning the best chill-out and acoustic beats as well as seasonal entertainment throughout the year. There is no entrance fee for Muscat’s diners who wish to visit us.
“SiO2 The Beach Lounge represents our commitment to providing not just a beach lounge but an experience that encapsulates the essence of luxury and relaxation. SiO2 is not just a place; it’s a feeling, a destination where the rhythm of the night meets the tranquillity of the sea” shared Rene D. Egle, Area General Manager for Shangri-La Muscat, Oman.
