Alila Hinu Bay Salalah Mirbat

Great facilities Great restaurant especially orchard which had good variety of tasty food

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!

The design and location were stunning, and every detail seemed perfectly planned. The apartments felt very private, and having wildlife like camels, flamingos and cows around the hotel made the whole experience truly special. I hadn't mentioned in advance that I have a milk allergy, yet the staff went above and beyond to take care of me. They prepared separate dishes for me at the buffet dinner, and the chef even came out to make sure my food was completely dairy free. The spa was fantastic, and it was a real joy to use. We like to work out even when we travel, and both the gym and the spa (steam room, saund and plunge pool) were much better than we expected.

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.
