An Oman honeymoon combines mountains, desert and sea in a single private trip. It is built on one of our routes: in the standard edition from €1,699 per person for 10 days or €2,299 per person for 14 days, based on two sharing and excluding international flights. The luxury edition, with 5-star resorts and your own driver-guide, is quoted individually.
Think of a suite overlooking the canyon of Jebel Akhdar, a private dinner in the dunes of the Wahiba Sands, a swim in a turquoise wadi and, at the end, a few days on an empty beach. Oman is safe, hospitable and quiet, and around seven hours from Europe with hardly any jet lag.
We plan every honeymoon privately and to measure: your own driver-guide, hand-picked places to stay and a pace that suits two people who have just got married. Lars and Franziska know every property personally and our local partner is available during the trip.
Four reasons why couples who choose Oman are glad afterwards that they skipped the familiar beach resort.
No beaches lined with sunbeds and no coaches at the sights. In Oman you share a desert camp with a handful of guests and often have a wadi to yourselves.
Mountains at 2,000 metres, dunes, wadis, forts, souks and more than 3,000 kilometres of coast. You do not have to choose between adventure and relaxation: the trip starts active and ends by the sea.
Resorts on the Jebel Akhdar plateau, design hotels on the Muscat coast, restored mud-brick houses in the mountains and a desert camp with a private tent and your own terrace on the dunes. All visited by us personally.
Around seven hours’ flying, a time difference of two to three hours and visa-free entry for up to 14 days. Before departure we agree every detail, and during the trip we and our local partner are always reachable.
An impression of the places we build honeymoons around. Which ones it will be, we decide together based on season and length of trip.
From a suite with canyon views to a private tent in the dunes and a beach for the two of you
Start in Muscat with the Grand Mosque and the souk, head into the mountains for a night on the Jebel Akhdar plateau, sleep under the stars in the Wahiba Sands, swim in Wadi Shab or Wadi Bani Khalid and finish with beach days on the coast near Muscat or in the south near Salalah.
The most popular form: seven to ten days through Muscat, Jebel Akhdar, the Wahiba Sands and the wadis, then three to four days by the sea. Our 10-day or 14-day tour is the starting point, in its luxury edition and at your pace.
For those who want it truly special: 5-star resorts and heritage stays only, a private dinner in the desert, a morning snorkelling at the Daymaniyat Islands and a private walk with a mountain guide. Read more about the luxury Oman tour.
Few days of leave left after the wedding? In a week you see Muscat, the mountains and the desert, with our 7-day tour as the base. If you also want the beach, add two or three days on the coast. See also our article on a beach holiday in Oman.

An example based on our 14-day tour of the north and south: mountains, desert and coast first, then the south around Salalah. We choose the places to stay and the pace together with you.

Prefer a slower pace? Because the trip is private, you can add beach days or stay an extra night wherever you like it most. For a shorter version, take the 10-day tour, from €1,699 per person in the standard edition.
Oman is an easy country for a honeymoon, but not in every month and not at every pace. Four things to factor into your plans.
From May to September the north reaches 36 to 44 °C, which makes touring hard going. If you marry in summer, green Salalah during the khareef is a better fit, or you move the trip to the autumn: from October to April the days are pleasant.
Ramadan 2027 is expected to run from about 8 February to 9 March. You can travel normally, but you do not eat or drink in public during the day, and shops and sights keep shorter hours. Hotels usually serve food as normal.
Away from the hotel and its beach, cover shoulders and knees, men and women alike. In the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque women also cover their hair. Abayas and headscarves are available at the entrance, but bringing your own scarf is easier. By the pool and on the hotel beach, normal swimwear is fine.
Oman is bigger than it looks. Muscat to Nizwa is an hour and a half by road, Jebel Shams back to Muscat about three hours, and Salalah lies some 1,000 kilometres further south: an hour and a half by air. If you would rather change hotels less often, we add an extra night at the places you like best.

Lars knows the places to stay, the routes and the people on the ground. He listens to what you are looking for in a honeymoon and builds the trip around it. During the trip he remains directly reachable.
“The entire trip was perfectly organized, taking into account what we really wanted to see and do. Lars was extremely helpful in all different situations.”
“They did an excellent job matching our wishes. During our travel, they were next to us with constant communication ensuring we enjoy the trip.”
Yes, especially for couples who want more than just a beach. Oman is safe, quiet and hospitable, has remarkable places to stay in the mountains and the desert, and a long coast with empty beaches. You combine adventure and relaxation in one trip of around seven hours’ flying from Europe.
October to April: 25 to 30 degrees by day, dry and pleasant in the mountains, the desert and by the sea. If you marry in summer, Salalah in the south is an option: during the khareef (July to September) it is green and around 27 to 29 degrees there, although the sea is rough.
In the standard edition, with Comfort accommodation and a rental car, our routes start at €1,299 per person for 7 days, €1,699 for 10 days and €2,299 for 14 days, based on two sharing and excluding international flights. With your own driver-guide, the 14-day tour starts at €4,099 per person. A honeymoon in the luxury edition with 5-star resorts costs more. We quote it individually, depending on length, season and the places you stay. You always receive a no-obligation proposal with a transparent price.
Yes, that is the form almost all couples choose: seven to ten days touring and then three to four days by the sea near Muscat, on the coast near Tiwi or Sur, or in Salalah. Because the trip is private, you decide the split yourselves.
Gladly. Think of a private dinner in the dunes, a room overlooking the canyon, a dhow cruise at sunset or a morning snorkelling at the Daymaniyat Islands. Tell us what you like and we build it into the proposal.
For a stay of up to 14 days, citizens of the UK, Ireland, the EU and many other countries enter visa-free. For longer stays you apply for an e-visa online in advance. Your passport must be valid for at least six months on arrival. Check the current rules shortly before departure. We are happy to help with that.
Tell us when you are getting married, how much time you have and what you love. We reply with a concrete proposal: route, places to stay and an honest price.
