Alila Hinu Bay
On Oman’s sweeping southwest coast, a sloping path lined with rocky terrain reveals Alila Hinu Bay, set over 45 hectares of untouched beachfront opening onto the Arabian Sea. Here, simplicity prevails, inviting moments of connection and discovery with the lush Wadi Darbat valleys, once prominent 17th century trading post of Mirbat, and archaeological ruins of Sumhuram.
Seaside Sanctuary
Omani architectural traditions and a modern aesthetic combine for a seaside retreat with a distinctive sense of place.
Drawing strong design influence from the Omani vernacular, Alila Hinu Bay seamlessly blends in with the local culture and surrounding landscape. Thoughtful design framing spectacular sea and lagoon views emphasize the connection to nature.

Innovative Sustainability
Great care is taken to protect the delicate natural environment of Hinu Bay and its unspoiled coastline.
Respect for the environment is at the core of Alila Hinu Bay’s vision. Both the design and build of the property worked in tandem with the natural terrain, minimizing disruption to the surrounding ecosystem. Using local, natural materials, and harvesting our own produce from on-site orchards and gardens reduces our carbon footprint.
