March 2017: Famed for the riches of its frankincense groves, coconut-fringed beaches and spectacular ancient landscapes, Salalah, on the southern coast of Dhofar offers intrepid travellers an emerging destination of breathtaking natural beauty. The recently opened five-star Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara brings a new level of luxury and refinement to the region, providing discerning guests with an elegant base from which to discover one of Arabia’s best-kept secrets.
While visitors flock during khareef, the region’s period of intense rainfall that transforms the coast and mountain into tropical jungle, Salalah remains relatively undiscovered throughout the remainder of the year. However, with historic forts and citadels, endless dunes, untouched beaches and vibrant bazaars, and just a short flight from Dubai, this spellbinding Omani enclave is a year-round destination that takes guests on a colourful journey intertwined with history and legend. Having grown up in a nearby village, the Salalah Guru at Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara has unsurpassed knowledge of the area, giving guests an authentic taste of local life and putting travellers in touch with the surrounding culture, history and landscape. With his assistance, the secrets of the land can be unearthed with a tailor-made itinerary, providing countless stories and the perfect holiday escape for friends and family alike.
