We are back for a treatment yesterday. I and my wife had couple massage (together in one room), my late valentine gift. I must say that they remind us of our experience 8 years ago. I usually don’t snore during any theraphy but the calmness of her hand sliding through my muscles is hypnotic. We were ask first to choose from the three massage oil, the aroma of which were all good that it’s difficult to choose. I opted for the hint of lavender which has the calming effect. Then we are led to their treatment room where both the foot bath and massage bed co-exist. Contrary to other treatment, they pay importance to the footbath just as they do with the body. Rubbed with a mixture of ginger, lemon and salt, we know we are in for a Balinese trip. Ambar and Intan are not just from Bali, they brought with them the ancient Balinese technique which we instantly recognized the ritual with the gentle hovering of their fingers all over the body before the massage. This is contrary to other techniques where the therapists started to assess the tension we had in our body. What follow was their immaculate execution of fingers and hands sliding as if they had more than two, very relaxing. Being treated in the same room with my wife is one of the most romantic gift a man can give to his wife for I will know how she is delighted with my present. I strongly recommend to go straight to The SPA at the Chedi for more of the best authentic Balinese massage, it’s ancient!

It's a really unique and beautiful pool formationq in a gorge with turquoise water. You have to walk 2 - 3 meters through a muddy path so don't bring your best shoes. The pools where you can swim are wonderful. A must if you are in Oman!

10. Royal Opera House

We had the privilege of seeing Placido Domingo perform here which was excellent. Even a visit to the building if a performance isn’t on is worth it to see the opulence of the building and surroundings. Tickets for performances range from 10 OMR (£20 approx) which for a first class performance from world renowned artists is very good value for money in my opinion. There are lots of cafes and restaurants in the Opera House complex so even if you only go there for a walk around the building as a coffee stop it is well worth a visit.
