Atana Khasab Hotel

Top choice in Khasab


Perched on a headland just outside Khasab on the Khasab–Tibat road, this old favourite is surrounded on three sides by water and makes the most of the crystal-clear water and mountain scenery. At sunset the cliffs on the opposite side of the bay dissolve like liquid gold. Some rooms have split levels, windows for walls and balconies aligned to the sunset.

Ignore the astroturf: take your buffet (from OR14) onto the terrace and listen to the sea lapping the rocks below for Khasab's best night out. This is the only venue in town with a bar (open 6pm to 1am).
