Millennium Resort Salalah is a modern resort on the Dhofar coast, offering a relaxed, contemporary style, pools and access to the sea. The resort is aimed at leisure travellers and families, with a layout that combines pools, gardens and several places to eat. It suits visitors who want a resort stay at a sensible distance from the city, with a base for day trips to the east and west of Dhofar. Rooms are generally bright and comfortable, many with balconies, and family suites or connecting rooms are available. Dining is usually a mix of a main restaurant, a casual cafe and a bar or lounge, with a spa and fitness centre for slow days. The pool area is a focal point, and staff can usually arrange tours and transfers.
Location and getting around
The resort is on the Salalah coast, within a short drive of the airport and the city. Taxis and private drivers are easy to arrange. The hotel is a convenient base for the heritage sights of the coast, the souq and the day trips to Wadi Darbat, Mughsail and the Empty Quarter.
Who it suits
Couples and families who want a comfortable resort at a good level of service, and travellers who prefer a modern property to a classic one. It is also a good option for those combining a beach stay with sightseeing and who do not need a very large, bustling complex.
Good to know
Rates rise sharply in the khareef season, from late June to around the third week of September, and the weeks from mid-July are the busiest, so book early for those dates. Check the property’s current swimming and beach rules in that season, because the Arabian Sea is rough and many beaches are unsuitable for swimming.
Compare rates for breakfast-inclusive and half-board plans, and ask about the sea-view rooms if the view matters to you. As with any resort, check the current facilities, restaurant opening hours and any seasonal programmes before you book. Ask about airport transfers if you arrive late, since flight schedules to Salalah can be limited.
Making the most of a stay
Plan an eastern day and a western day, then enjoy the resort between trips. Ask the front desk about drivers who know the khareef roads, and about packed breakfasts for early starts. In the cool season, the pool and the beach area are especially pleasant in the afternoon. Check the dining schedule so you can plan evenings, particularly if you have a late return from a day trip.
Ask about the quietest rooms and the distance to the pool, and compare breakfast-inclusive rates, which can simplify budgeting on a trip with long driving days.
