Surrounded by lush greenery on three sides and opening onto the Arabian Sea, the resort brings together contemporary luxury, nature, wellness, dining and ocean-led experiences in an all-inclusive coastal retreat.

The resort features ocean-view rooms and suites with private balconies, an infinity pool overlooking the sea, direct beach access, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, spa and wellness facilities, landscaped gardens and Atmos, an exclusive lounge for suite guests. Designed for both leisure and celebrations, Peninsula Del Mar also offers expansive ocean-facing lawns and a grand ballroom for destination weddings, corporate retreats and social occasions.
