Sulaima Senior suites

The Sulaima Senior suites are the biggest of all our rooms. The superior rooms are named after the once emblematic owner of the house and the matriarch of the family Sulaima Bint Al Barwani.

Burdani Deluxe rooms

The appropriately named Burdani Deluxe rooms define complete relaxation. These six bedrooms  two on each floor are lovingly made up with a four poster bed, air conditioning and modern amenities to ensure a peaceful and soothing atmosphere.

“From behind the screened windows and brass studded doors, comes the sweet and mesmerizing scent of “Udi”. A locally made product concocted from a wide variety of ingredients varying from sugar, perfumes, flowers, spices and rose water is placed into a coconut shell and then onto an incense burner.”
