Hidden in the Hills: A Dreamy Escape to Sama Wakan Heritage Homes in Oman

During my recent trip to Oman, I had the pleasure of staying at Sama Wakan Heritage Homes, a secluded and authentic heritage hotel tucked away in the mountains. I was looking for something that would allow me to experience the rich culture of Oman while also offering some peace and quite. 🏨 As soon as I arrived, I was stuck by the serene atmosphere of the place. The hotel is set in the heart of a small, picturesque village, surrounded by towering mountains. The staff greeted me warmly, instantly making me feel at home. The architecture of the hotel itself is in harmony with the local environment, built from stone and wood, perfectly blending into the rustic charm of the surroundings. The room was cozy, with traditional Omani decor and all the comforts I needed for a peaceful night’s rest. #vacation #relax #localculture 🍽️ The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the dinner, the hotel served authentic Omani cuisine. The meal was a feast of local flavors with slow-cooked meats, fragrant rice and an array of delicious dips and sides. #deliciousfood ✨ After dinner, I took some time to stargaze. Being so far from any major city, the sky above the village was crystal clear. #stargazing 🌄 The next morning was even more magical. I woke up early to catch the sunrise over the mountains, and the view was just breathtaking! Breakfast was served outdoors, allowing me to take in the stunning scenery while enjoying s traditional Omani breakfast. Then, I decided to explore the village wandering through the narrow, winding streets, I felt like I had stepped back in time.

Whether you are a solo traveler, a couple or even a small group looking for an authentic Omani adventure, this place is perfect. Travel Tips: - Pack for the climate: Since the village is in the mountains, the temperature drops at night. I recommend bringing some layers. - Ideal for nature lovers: The surrounding area is perfect for hiking and exploring. There are a number of trails that offer stunning views of the mountain and valleys below. - Disconnect and relax: This is a remote location, so don’t expect fast Wi-Fi. It’s the perfect opportunity to unplug and enjoy the tranquility of nature. - Bring cash: The village is quite remote, so it’s a good idea to have cash on hand for any local purchases or tips.
