Overlooking a wide stretch of golden sand, this impressive resort consists of two luxurious hotels. Al Waha, with its kids’ club and aquatic play area, is a great choice for a family holiday, while Al Bandar is perfect for leisure travellers.
All 460 rooms and suites feature a terrace or balcony. There are plenty of options for families with the dedicated Family Rooms providing much-needed extra space, as well as a PlayStation and selection of games available on request. Dining is a real highlight. Assira, the beach and pool bar Samba, the all day dining, located at Al Waha is perfect for a family lunch in a relaxed atmosphere. For dinner, Al Tanoor showcases a different themed buffet every evening, with flavours from Arabia, Asia, India and seafood all featured. The resort boasts an array of facilities with the Cool Zone Kids’ Club, for children aged 4-8 yrs, and Splashpad water-play area located at Al Waha, and the 500-metre lazy river running between both hotels. Chi, the Spa complements the more laidback atmosphere of Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, with its 12 treatment villas. For the adventurers and fitness lovers, there’s also floodlit tennis courts, a fitness centre and a wide range of watersports.
