Omani coastal retreat Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara has unveiled a new luxury escape package with private overland transfers from Dubai to Salalah, targeting UAE residents and visitors. Designed as a tranquil coastal getaway, the offer provides an alternative to air travel amid ongoing flight disruptions and regional tensions across the GCC.

With Oman’s land borders open and Muscat International Airport operating as normal, the sultanate has emerged as a favoured choice for travellers prioritising safety, accessibility and tranquillity since regional hostilities escalated on 28 February.

The new package, available throughout March to coincide with spring breaks and the anticipated Eid Al Fitr holidays (expected between 19 and 22 March), includes a scenic overland transfer from Dubai through Oman’s desert and mountain landscapes, culminating at the five-star beachfront resort in Dhofar. Private one-way transfers are priced at OMR650 (AED6,200).

Accommodation rates start from OMR130 (AED1,240) per night and include daily breakfast, plus exclusive resort credits: OMR15 (AED140) for Anantara Spa treatments and OMR15 for dining across the resort’s restaurants.

Guests reserving the resort’s signature pool villas enjoy enhanced benefits, including OMR40 (AED380) resort credit, a complimentary extra bed for one child, and flexible early check-in and late check-out, subject to availability.

For those opting for the Beach Pool Villa or the expansive Three Bedroom Royal Beach Pool Villa, the experience is elevated further with a complimentary 60-minute couple’s treatment at Anantara Spa and a refined high tea for two during their stay.

Set beside the Unesco-listed Al Baleed Archaeological Park and framed by 250 metres of private beach, the resort blends Omani heritage with modern luxury, where guests enjoy sunrise breakfasts at Sakalan, relax by the infinity pool, or explore Dhofar’s famed frankincense trails and cultural landmarks.

During this period of regional unrest, more UAE residents are redirecting their travel budgets towards premium staycations, with Wego data indicating a rise in domestic bookings and sustained demand for five‑ and four‑star beachfront resorts, wellness retreats and luxury hotels across Dubai and the wider UAE.

Among the standout Eid staycation offers, Aldhafra Resort, located in the heart of the Liwa Desert, is extending 30% off rates, AED150 dining credit and two complimentary desert activities. Meanwhile, SIRO One Za’abeel, Dubai’s first fitness-focused hotel, is offering the Urban Retreat package with 20% off the best available rate, alongside a curated wellness programme and complimentary treatments designed to revitalise body and mind.
