Nestled between a private beach and a freshwater lagoon, Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara is a serene coastal retreat on Oman’s lush Dhofar coast. Steps from the UNESCO World Heritage Al Baleed Archaeological Park and the Land of Frankincense, the resort blends Omani-fortress style with whitewashed façades, lantern-lit paths and tropical gardens. Its 136 rooms, suites and one to three bedroom villas include lavish Pool Villas with temperature-controlled pools and personalised villa host service. Dining spans global flavours at Sakalan, vibrant Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese at Mekong, and Mediterranean plates beside the shore at Al Mina. The Anantara Spa features Salalah’s only luxury hammam and signature treatments that draw on frankincense, coconut and pomegranate. Leisure facilities include an infinity pool, a state of the art fitness centre, an outdoor jungle gym, and tennis and badminton courts, with dedicated clubs for kids and teens. The Al Baleed Farm supplies seasonal herbs, fruits and vegetables that inspire menus and experiences. Guests can also explore souqs, wadis and beaches, try surfing and dolphin watching, and host elegant weddings or events in refined indoor and outdoor venues.
