The best accommodations Taqah

In the historic center of Taqah, this is Dhofar's only traditional guesthouse, renovated with meticulous care. It occupies the former home of an honorable merchant. Built over 150 years ago, it is a precious witness to the past. On three levels, 12 rooms with shared or private bathroom occupy the various rooms with walls made of local clay and stone. Furnishings and objects from the past, old-fashioned kitchens and sculpted doors all contribute to an immediate immersion. Breakfast is served facing the fort in the ground-floor café.

Situated on the eastern tip of Hawana, this large complex benefits from a very good seaside resort via several protected beaches planted with coconut palms. Adapted to all types of clientele (families, couples, seminar groups), it has 577 rooms and 5-star suites, and offers all the ingredients of a luxury holiday club: swimming pools, spa, several bars and restaurants, a plethora of water and land activities, children's and teenagers' clubs, etc. In France, Fanar is sold by Kappa Club in the form of an all-inclusive holiday energized by a team of French-speaking entertainers.

At odds with the local hotel scene, this is the only ecolodge in the region and by far the coolest address. Set on a dazzling white beach, the 21 wooden and palm-leaf bungalows are extended by a large sea-view terrace on stilts. Straight ahead, the ocean is a painter's blue; to the east, the beach stretches as far as the eye can see, interspersed with Khor Souly's only lagoon - a birdwatcher's spot. A magical place! On-site: restaurant, café, buggy rental, camel rides.

Using the same graphic codes as the Sifawy Boutique Hotel near Muscat, this "little" Juweirah, the most confidential of the marina's boutique-style hotels, plays on the same spacious, screened volumes, bold colors and bayadères. With rooms and suites in soft shades of white and blue, the hotel offers a wide range of accommodation for adults only. Uncompromising comfort: 2 restaurants, 2 bars, swimming pools, nautical hut, wellness center, etc. Beautiful beach just a few minutes' walk away.

This 400-room Rotana is a fine example of Arab-contemporary architecture. From the entrance patio to the immense swimming pool and long beach, you're never far from the water, as the hotel's walkways follow the curves of the marina's canals. This is a 5-star resort worthy of the name, with its choice of bars and restaurants, kids' and teens' clubs, high-tech gym, tennis courts, water and land sports, spa... All-inclusive stay with entertainment orchestrated by Bravo Club.
