Crowne Plaza Resort, Salalah, a lush green five-star hotel in Oman, is offering visitors an all-encompassing leisure experience this Khareef season that combines local culture with world-class hospitality.

“While the rest of the Gulf bakes in the heat during the summer, Salalah is able to offer beautiful scenery, mild temperatures and a variety of entertainment and culture for a truly memorable break. With the early arrival of the monsoon this year, visitors can enjoy the pleasant climate of around 20 degree Celsius,” said Manuel Levonian, general manager of the resort.  

In its preparation for the Khareef season, which runs from July to September, Crowne Plaza Resort Salalah has made elaborate changes to their food menu to suit the palate of the GCC guests. " This year the resort has created additional ocean front features with large tents with private seating and live entertainment, to allow our guests fully take delight in the cool weather and sunset views, amidst the uniquely lush and private tropical gardens of 42 acres," Levonian added.

Crowned consecutively for last two years as ‘The Best Luxury Beach Resort’ by the World Luxury Travel Awards, Crowne Plaza Resort’s hospitality offering is designed to accommodate every type of traveller. The 153-room resort features three food and beverage venues, a bar, and a night club. In addition, guests can enjoy the resort’s private beaches; three temperature controlled outdoor swimming pools, two floodlit tennis courts, Golf Course, Squash court and a fitness centre.
