The Anantara is a much needed luxury addition to Salalah. Many low-rise villas are set around a large pool, as well as by the beach and lagoon in a landscape dotted with palm trees.
The interiors are comfortable and plush, with touches of Omani architecture and culture throughout. Facilities include a beautiful pool overlooking the private beach along with a stunning spa, as well as many land and water sports options.
OUR OPINION:
This is an excellent property for those looking for a luxury experience, particularly for those celebrating a special occasion as the hotel offers personal services such as a private dinner on the beach. We have been impressed with the service levels and excellent cuisine.
