Your Salalah Discovery
6 Days of Sub-Tropical Oases, Coastal Cliffs & Oceanfront Villas
Discover southern Oman through a route that balances high-altitude cliffside drives with tranquil valley pools and ancient maritime ruins. Drive along coastal roads, observe seawater geysers along limestone shores, explore historic spice markets, and relax in a private pool villa set between freshwater lagoons and the sea. Designed for privacy, effortless travel, and natural beauty, every detail ensures an unhurried retreat across Dhofar.
Day 1
Arrival in Salalah
Touch down at Salalah International Airport in the evening, where your private concierge greets you at the terminal and provides an executive transfer to your resort. Upon check-in, your premium All-Terrain vehicle is handed over for your exclusive use throughout your stay on the southern coast. Settle into your standalone pool villa for an unhurried evening.
Day 2
Rest & Gentle Exploration
Wake to breakfast at the resort. Spend your morning relaxing by your private pool or along the private white sand beach. In the afternoon, venture out to historic Haffa Souq to take in the aromas of high-grade Dhofari frankincense and fresh coconut stalls. Stroll along the Salalah Corniche before enjoying a traditional regional dinner.
