Shaza Hotels unveiled plans for Shaza Salalah – a luxury beach resort in Salalah, Oman. The development was launched at a signing ceremony by Shaza Hotel’s CEO Simon Coombs and Taameer Investment’s CEO Suleiman Al Harthy, with the attendance of the chairman of the Golden Group of Companies, Sheikh Salim al Ghazali.
Shaza Salalah has been master planned as a luxury beach resort, bringing into development features centered on privacy, the natural landscape of Salalah, and architectural heritage of the coastal city of Oman.
The resort is designed to cater for families, honeymooners, and luxury travellers. The hotel will feature a Presidential Villa, 80 luxury villas with private pools, 80 furnished hotel apartments, and 130 hotel rooms facing the Indian Ocean, many of which have their own private ‘sky pool’.
The property will also unveil the largest luxury ballroom in Salalah, as well as retail outlets and two specialty restaurants.
A resort of this standard is a first for Salalah and is expected to enhance the tourism landscape of Oman’s second largest city. Construction will begin in Q4 of 2012 and the resort is expected to open in 2016.
Shaza Salalah is the first beach resort development to be announced by Shaza Hotels following hotels already in operation in Medina and Sarajevo while developments in Marrakesh and Karbala are in construction.
