Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company with approximately 9,000 hotels across nearly 95 countries, continues to cement its presence across the Middle East with the opening of the 237-room Wyndham Garden Salalah Mirbat hotel in Mirbat, Sultanate of Oman. The hotel marks Wyndham’s continued growth in the leisure segment, as well as the first in collaboration with Dhofar Tourism Company – one of the largest and most diversified developers of sustainable towns in the Sultanate of Oman.
Expected to open later this month, Wyndham Garden Salalah Mirbat is located oceanfront in Mirbat, and a short drive away from Salalah, the third largest city in the Sultanate of Oman and the capital city of the Dhofar Governorate.
Mirbat is a culturally rich up-and-coming tourist destination, known for its white sand beaches and natural beauty. Guests of the hotel can enjoy oceanic views and leisure activities including water sports, a spa and kids club.
The opening of Wyndham Garden Salalah Mirbat marks Wyndham’s fourth hotel in the Sultanate of Oman and second under the Wyndham Garden brand. These openings are part of the Company’s strategic growth plans for the Middle East and Africa region, which include the addition of 23 new properties by 2023.
