Alila Hinu Bay Salalah Mirbat

Pool villa was really nice and very clean. Super comfortable bed. All members of staff were genuinely happy to work there and it showed. Good vibes produce more good vibes. Nice snorkelling 15min away by car.

Alila Hinu Bay was more than a resort---it was a memorable experience. Stunning architecture harmonises with the landscaping of the grounds and backdrop of the Arabian Sea to one side and mountains to the other side, creating a luxurious oasis of tranquillity. On one of the days we were visited by a caravan of camels 😊! The quality of the food was exceptional. The experience from breakfast to dinner, was enhanced by attentive and friendly staff. Special thanks to Ibrahim for making breakfast delightful, and the new manager for introducing himself to us. My husband and I also enjoyed a professionally done spa treatment that left us feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Special thanks also to housekeepers Sardkarkhan and Rinos for their kind, friendly and impeccable service- never once did they frown when we asked for refills of water, coffee, tea and milk. All the staff member’s dedication to guest satisfaction made us feel truly valued. We left Alila Hinu feeling refreshed and eager to return for our next visit, which for sure will be longer. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality – what a gem of a resort, Highly recommended!

While a bit of a drive from Salalah (about an hour by car - and you need a car), it's well worth it as it's located on the beautiful Hinu bay on a sprawling 45 hectare area. The resort is beautiful and very thoughtfully designed. It encourages exploration by foot or by bicycle. Fantastic spa with great treatments that are very reasonably priced for their quality. Two very nice pools on the premises as well. There's a nice expansive beach however the waves were quite high the time I went, so you could not swim, but I imagine during quieter swells it's a very nice beach to be on. Great breakfast selections at The Orchard restaurant, with dishes made to order, in addition to a nice buffet with pastries, cold cuts and fresh fruits. Great coffee as well. Nice options for dinner at Seal Salt and The Rock as well.

My husband and I had the most relaxing, romantic holiday here at Alila. We had a villa with a private pool, and a view across the dunes to the ocean. The villa was enormous, with an outdoor bath and dual shower overlooking this feature. The bed was super comfortable, and we ate in most days at the outdoor sunken lounge beside the pool. After a delicious breakfast, where the choices were enormous, we would head to the very well equipped gym, then down to the beach, which we had all to ourselves from mid morning to lunchtime. The ocean water was crystal clear, perfect temperature for swimming, and we enjoyed exploring the rock pools, and watching the hermit & soldier crabs scampering up the beach. The villa pool's water temperature was centrally controlled and a quick phone call could alter it if desired. Of stand out staff wise I have to say were the housekeeping staff, who prepared our room morning and night so beautifully, the discreet pool attendant, and the room service men who brought us our lunch and dinner. They all smiled, engaged with us, and clearly took pride in their work. It was one of the most relaxing holidays we have ever had, and we would highly recommend it.
