Assisted by local guides, UTMB® founder Michel Poletti mapped out the 137km route which covers a fantastic variety of terrain. Oman by UTMB® will journey through deep gorges, lush oases, thirteen ancient villages and mountain ridges – a tough course providing a true test. The Green Mountain is famed for its rose water, refreshing cooler climate and fruit orchards, which are typically laid out in terraces on the mountain slopes, endowed with natural springs and falaj. The runners' journey will lead them off the beaten tourist tracks, allowing them to explore the Sultanate’s hidden gems that are located deep within its rugged, untouched landscapes. In 2019 the ultra trail route will be extended over the summit of Jebel Shams (2900m - the highest mountain in Arabia) to cover even more stunning terrain. Providing a long course of 100 miles with over 10,000m of vertical gain, the trail will certainly rank as one of the toughest and most technically challenging in the world. Also new for next year’s edition will be challenges featuring shorter distances, enabling many more competitors to enjoy the fantastic terrain of Jebel Al Akhdar and experience the thrill of being part of this great event. 19h30m x 15 Birkat Al Mouz 137km 10,000m 44 h 29/11/2018 trail route vertical gain max 44 h x 11 19:30 max 500 05 02 PROGRAMME OF EVENTS 06 DATE TIME EVENT LOCATION NOTES Wednesday All day Transfers from Muscat to Golden Tulip Pickups: Muscat Airport (International 28 November (See transfer schedule) and Nizwa Hotel Apartments Arrivals) and Sahwa Roundabout parking Athletes must have their race pack with them and all obligatory equipment available to check. 18:00 – 21:00 Bib Collection and Jabel Akhdar Banquet Hall Athletes without all items of required equipment Equipment Check foyer, Golden Tulip, Nizwa will not be allowed to start.

  • Hakkasan Group Announces Multi-Million Dollar Partnership in New Luxury Bali Resort
    HAKKASAN GROUP ANNOUNCES MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PARTNERSHIP IN NEW LUXURY BALI RESORT NEXT PHASE OF EXPANSION INTO SOUTH EAST ASIA IN PARTNERSHIP WITH KAJA GROUP AND ALILA HOTELS & RESORTS JAKARTA, INDONESIA (8 September 2016) – Hakkasan Group, the global hospitality company, today announced plans to open two new venues at The Cliff at Alila Villas Uluwatu. The destination resort will host the world’s first OMNIA Dayclub and luxury Japanese restaurant Sake No Hana in Bali with partners KAJA Group and Alila Hotel & Resorts. The development of these two brands in Bali is the largest investment of its kind in Indonesia and will generate 150 jobs when they open in Q3 2017, with around 250 additional jobs through the construction of the site. The Indonesian Government has a target of 20 million tourists annually by 2020 so this is set to increase the demand for luxury hospitality. This dynamic partnership is preempting this with a revolutionary new destination in Bali that will change the face of hospitality in Indonesia and reposition the region as a must-see travel spot for tourists. This is the next stage in the partnership announced last year, which will also see Sake no Hana, OMNIA Nightclub and Hakkasan restaurant opening in partnership with KAJA Group and Alila Hotels & Resorts in Alila SCBD Hotel, Jakarta. When complete, the three luxury experiences will bring 339 jobs to the capital city. The partnership and investment from KAJA Group in both Jakarta and Bali totals $38 million. It is a continuation of Hakkasan Group’s business strategy of taking its brand portfolio into new high-growth markets across the world and demonstrates its commitment to investing in the region.

  • DRAFT Project Washington Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DESTINATION HOTELS AND COMMUNE HOTELS & RESORTS INTRODUCE TWO ROADS HOSPITALITY Newly Established Company Names Jamie Sabatier as CEO And Niki Leondakis, CEO of Hotels & Resorts, Two Roads Hospitality DENVER, COLORADO – September 26, 2016 – Recently merged, Destination Hotels and Commune Hotels & Resorts today unveiled their new overarching company: Two Roads Hospitality. The newly created international lifestyle company features an unrivaled collection of truly individual hotels, resorts and vacation residences that caters to guests’ personal journeys. Comprised of Joie de Vivre Hotels, Thompson Hotels, Destination Hotels, tommie and Alila Hotels & Resorts, Two Roads Hospitality is poised to be the leading operator of independent, boutique and lifestyle hotels with more than 95 properties in eight countries, and approximately $2 billion in total property revenues under management. The new company name reflects the distinctive paths that both Commune and Destination have forged in the independent and lifestyle hospitality sector. Two Roads Hospitality also references the joining together of parallel companies with over 40 years of combined expertise exclusively dedicated to the boutique and lifestyle space, sharing similar philosophies and complementary property locations while staying continuously committed to the pursuit of experiences that are individual and unique. Newly defined as a hospitality company, the moniker refers to not only the robust collection of hotels and resorts managed by the merged company, but also its award-winning restaurants and bars, stunning vacation residences, world-class golf courses, and indigenous spa and wellness offerings. The name draws inspiration from the famous Robert Frost poem about the “road less traveled,” speaking to guests' desire for discovery and choice throughout their journeys, encouraging team members to express their heartfelt passions and personalities, and recognizing the individual goals and customized solutions for each property owner.

Letter from the editor Dear FuturArc Readers, In the 2015 issue on hospitality, we highlighted the contrast between resorts and urban hotels. The former celebrated place, a mix of materiality, climate and ecology. The latter sought to mitigate impact through, say, reduced consumption—essentially a less ‘bad’ version of itself. This dichotomy persists today but there are some emerging variants. We find out—in most projects in this issue—that placemaking and resort design are still synergistic. The Alila hotels in Indonesia and China (page 32) are a display of climate-responsive and passive design, integrated landscapes, as well as local materials and craft. The Alila in China is also an overt expression of culture.
