Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara
Wellness takes centre stage on the south Oman coast
This massive resort hugs the beaches on the south coast of Dhofar, while a freshwater lagoon is nearby. When it comes to accommodation, take your pick from 96 villas, 30 sea-view rooms or 10 deluxe rooms, all kitted out in respectful Omani interiors and featuring swish marble bathrooms. The setting is conducive to holistic activities; yoga classes and skincare treatments are just a few of those on its roster. For food, try Mediterranean classics or Asian offerings, or enjoy a romantic, tailored meal on the beach.
