The Salalah Rotana Resort & Spa will form a part of the seven-hotel, 1900 room Salalah Beach development.
Muriya Tourism Development has said the first internationally-branded hotel in its Salalah Beach development, the five-star Salalah Rotana Resort & Spa, is due to be completed by the end of 2013.

Speaking to Hotelier Middle East, Muriya Tourism Development marketing director Bahaa Hefzalla said: “There is one 64-room boutique hotel that has been open since last year and the 400-room Rotana hotel will open by the end of this year.
