Othmani, a German-Tunisian citizen, joined the property in March, bringing 22 years of hospitality management experience to the Omani resort.
Othmani holds a masters degree in hospitality management from Almeda International University, and a certification in financial management of hotels from Cornell School of Hotel Administration.
His career began, as a lecturer, teaching at the Mediterranean Institute of tourism in Tunis.

Speaking to Hotelier Middle East, Othmani said: “I consider myself an “environmental conservationist”.

The double award recognised our team’s commitment to sustainable practices and our support to the local community.”
Othmani added: “the best part of my job is to coach employees to their next career move.”
