Fanar Hotel and Residences  

On the eastern tip of the Salalah Beach Marina in Taqah, about 10 km from Salalah city center. This 5-star deluxe, family-friendly beachfront hotel takes its name from “Fanar” — lighthouse — and sits on the region’s only tropical stretch of beach.

Designed by Italian designer Sandro Serapion, the property fuses contemporary design with serene Arabian architecture. The hotel offers 400 guestrooms and suites with in-room touches like a TV, mini-bar, shower, bathrobe and slippers. The vibe is sophisticated and comfortable — stylish public spaces and roomy guestrooms built for families, friends or business travelers.

Dip into the 800-square-meter infinity pool that looks out over the tropical beach. A full spa centre includes massage rooms, sauna and steam bath, and there’s an aquapark plus indoor and outdoor pools. Stay active at the fitness center, gym or diving club; enjoy library and ping-pong areas, a children’s playroom, concierge services, parking and free on-site Wi‑Fi. Expect sea-breeze mornings and plenty of ways to unwind.

Stylish meeting rooms, a conference hall and presentation facilities make it meeting-ready. Free Wi‑Fi across the property, elevator access and on-site parking keep business travel simple.

A variety of restaurants and bars serve guests across relaxed and evening atmospheres. Grab a meal in the restaurant or unwind at the bar after a day on the beach.
