Unique Beach Resort in a Serene Lagoon
The Al Baleed Resort is a chic Arabic gem nestled between a vast white sandy beach, a tranquil lagoon, and the fascinating UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Al Baleed archaeological park. The resort is the perfect place to stay if you wish to step back from everyday routines and focus entirely on a beautiful balance of peace, relaxation, and well-being.
Unique and surprising are the core words used to describe Dhofar in Oman and beyond. For a location where the desert reigns, framed by a rugged and untouched coast, the surroundings of Salalah come alive annually during the monsoon season, transforming the landscape into a tropical paradise with waterfalls and lush vegetation. The Al Baleed Resort perfectly complements this setting as an idyllic sanctuary with a range of activities that enhance your stay.
The Al Baleed Resort reflects the renowned Omani hospitality on every possible front, with exceptional service and warmth. The Anantara Spa takes you on a calming wellness journey where you can experience the healing properties of Dhofari frankincense and pomegranate, and the restaurants indulge you with gastronomic delights from Arab and Asian regions.
The calm zone created by the Al Baleed Resort during your stay is entirely up to you—stay as short or as long as you wish. Dream away on a walk along the soft sands, explore the natural lagoon by kayak, or step back in time at the ruins of Al Baleed next to the resort. Choose the level of relaxation that suits you, it will be unforgettable.
