Souly EcoLodge

Souly EcoLodge is located on a long, wide and uncrowded white sand beach overlooking the Indian Ocean in a spectacular setting between Taqah and Salalah, metres away from a freshwater creek (Khor Souly) where camels, foxes and birds come to drink.

If you wish to escape from chain hotels and are looking for peace and quiet, Souly EcoLodge offers a rustic ‘no news, no shoes’ approach to beach living. Constructed from natural, locally sourced materials, accommodation is in 21 spacious wooden bungalows, 17 of which have spectacular ocean views and four have partial ocean views.

Each air-conditioned bungalow is modestly furnished and has large panoramic windows, an open-air shower built using natural stones, a mini-fridge, and an open-air veranda with wooden chairs. A tasty but limited menu featuring classic Arabian dishes (rice, vegetables, meat and fish) and fresh juices and fruits is available at Souly EcoLodge’s restaurant.

Campfire dinners are arranged three times a week. Aside from the restaurant, there is a coffee shop where guests can enjoy fresh mocktails, tea, coffee and shisha and relax over a game of backgammon and dominoes.

A ‘Bedouin Corner’ with three traditional Bedouin tents furnished with carpets and pouffes is another area where you can while away the hours. Limited Wi-Fi is available in public areas.

Souly EcoLodge brings an alternative accommodation style to the Salalah hotel scene, but prospective guests should be aware that alcohol is not served, rooms do not have televisions, and facilities are limited (i.e. the property does not have a swimming pool).
