Water and Energy

Energy Conservation

By installing energy-efficient lighting throughout the resort and keeping lights off wherever necessary, we conserve energy. We invest in the most energy-efficient equipment available and ensure that all appliances are switched off when not in use. 

Swimming Pools

Our resort pools are treated with a salt pool chlorinated system that requires less chemicals and discards less water than normal pool cleaning processes.

Water Conservation

Different water supplies – mains, recycles and rainwater – are used to minimise water consumption. Wastewater is processed in an onsite sewerage plant in a bio system that recycles grey and black water for irrigation.

EV Charging Station

Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara's collaboration with EVO contributes to the development of a greener transportation ecosystem in Oman. As part of this partnership, EV charging stations have been installed at the resort, allowing guests and visitors to conveniently charge their electric vehicles.
Recycling and Waste Reduction

Guest Materials

Resort key cards, pens and pencils supplied to guests are made with environmentally friendly materials. 

Single Use Plastic

Glass bottles are in use throughout the resort, along with biodegradable straws. We aim for zero single use plastics in our daily operations.

Re-usable Water Bottle

Discover our eco-friendly water bottles, thoughtfully placed in every room and villa, enhancing your beach days and Salalah adventures – a sustainable choice for conscious living.
Dollar for Deeds

Dollar for Deeds

Immersing guests in the spirit of giving back, Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara invites you to donate OMR 1 per night for our "Dollar for Deeds" programme. The resort will match the donations OMR for OMR during your stay to raise funds to support long-term conservation initiatives of the 
Environment Society of Oman such as protecting Frankincense trees, the Arabian Sea humpback whales, and dolphins.
Harmony with our Surroundings

Local History Tours

Mini-Golf

The minigolf course at Anantara Salalah is crafted with sustainability at its core. The design incorporates locally sourced and recycled materials, reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation and supporting local businesses. Moreover, it integrates natural elements such as native plants and trees into the course layout, enhancing its aesthetic appeal while also promoting local biodiversity. For more information and bookings please contact the spa and recreation centre team.

Resources

Al Baleed Vegetable Farm

Our farm-to-table philosophy is about more than just eating healthy food. We grow our own vegetables such as radish, cucumber, tomatoes, and spinach in the Al Baleed Vegetable Garden and source others from the Royal Razat Farm in Salalah. Learn more about our farm-to-table concept from our culinary team.

Local Suppliers

Wherever possible, the ingredients and products we use are sourced from local and Omani suppliers. Frankincense and sea salt used at Anantara Spa is for instance from the surrounding area, as well as the spices used in our Spice Spoons cooking class.

Spice Garden

Every day our chefs collect fresh ingredients and herbs for their dishes. We grow different herbs in our Mekong Spice Garden. Enjoy the refreshing aroma of mint, lemongrass and basil that is used for our Mekong signature dishes such as Tom Yum and Vietnamese Spring Rolls.
Community

Local Talent

We give special consideration to employing and empowering Omani people in line with our social sustainability efforts. We build relationships within the community.

Sustainable Initiatives

Hand in hand with our guests, we support and contribute to social and environmental projects in the community. We match guest donations to organisations that provide child welfare and wildlife protection and our team members join at a grassroots level.

Oman Food Bank

Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara has partnered with Oman Food Bank, a private initiative, to distribute surplus food to economically disadvantaged groups in the local community. This collaboration helps reduce food waste and support those in need.
