Alila Hotels and Resorts will launch its second luxury resort development in Oman in Mirbat, east of Salalah – a coastal town in the Dhofar governorate.
The project, owned by Alil Salalah – a subsidiary of the Oman Investment Fund – will open in the second half of 2017 comprising 100 bedrooms, 25 villas, fine dining restaurants and a Spa Alila wellness centre.
Alila’s guests will be able to visit both the Hajjar Mountains – via the existing
Alila Jabal Akhdar – and Mirbat beaches at the new property.
The interior design by BLINK Design Group will include contemporary Dhofari architecture.
According to a statement by Alila, the project will significantly enhance the product offering and attractiveness of Dhofar and Salalah as a major tourism destination, providing additional growth opportunities to the domestic market, while drawing new visitors to the Governorate.
The new property will take advantage of a new international airport, scheduled to open fully in April 2015, and the expansion of the Port of Salalah.
