Alila Hinu Bay, Oman

• Luxury oasis: Embrace a five-star escape at Alila Hinu Bay, an enticing resort on the coast of Oman. After a day of exploring your uniquely beautiful surroundings, retire to your gorgeous room. Guest accommodations are decked out in sandy neutral tones with a scattering of Middle Eastern-inspired décor elements. All rooms also feature a standalone marble bathtub for a touch of added luxury, as well as a spacious terrace for private evening moments.

• A culinary adventure: At the hotel’s two restaurants you can expect fresh, local ingredients and farm-to-table produce prepared with care. Savour succulent dishes which showcase the flavours of the Frankincense Route, inspired by centuries of culinary tradition, or go for fresh seafood, Southeast Asian cuisine and prime cuts hot off the grill. For drinks, light snacks and Middle Eastern specialties, the sea-view lounge is the place to go.

• Days of enjoyment: Looking for the next level of relaxation? Soak up the blissful sunshine next to the tranquil, lounger-lined pool, or indulge with a pampering massage in the spa for ultimate bliss. If you prefer a more active approach to your holiday, dive into local culture with an immersive frankincense ritual or take a private excursion to Wadi Darbat, the region’s most picturesque valley.
