Delivering coastal comfort and effortless sophistication, Al Baleed Resort Salalah By Anantara is a serene beachfront retreat. Inspired by ancient Omani fortresses, the white-washed resort has low-rise rooms and villas with carved wooden doors and traditional lanterns, all set within grounds dotted with banana trees and coconut palms. While the kids and teens are busy with water-based activities, cooking classes and foosball sessions, make the most of the Arabian sunshine lazing beside the infinity pool overlooking the ocean or head to the spa – an absolute must-do – where frankincense is used in both treatments and beverages. When it comes to dining, there are three gourmet restaurant to choose from including the exceptional Mekong, which serves up flavours of China, Thailand and Vietnam in an elegant setting. And when you want to explore beyond the beach, speak to the dedicated team to arrange trips into the desert, the mountains or to any one of the nearby World Heritage sites.
