Where the Sun Rises First in the Arabian Peninsula
Where the Sun Rises First in the Arabian Peninsula
Welcome to Turtle Beach Resort, a captivating sanctuary in Ras Al Hadd, Oman, blending raw natural wonders with deep cultural richness.
Our Story: Heritage, Nature, and Warm Omani Hospitality
The Sanctuary
Nestled along the breathtaking, virgin coastline of Ras Al Hadd, Turtle Beach Resort is a unique semi-island sanctuary designed for travelers seeking both pure relaxation and unforgettable adventure. We are blessed to be located at the literal edge of the Arabian Peninsula—the very place where the sun rises first in the region..
The Wildlife & Architecture
Our resort is world-renowned for its proximity to the protected nesting grounds of the majestic Green Turtles. Here, guests enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness these ancient creatures come ashore in their natural habitat in Ras Al Jinz (20 mins drive away from our resort). To honor our environment, our upscale accommodations—including our signature Hamoor rooms—are artistically crafted using traditional date-palm leaves and authentic Arabian cloth roofs. This timeless Omani architecture serves as a beautiful, natural shield against the elements, wrapping you in rich local heritage.
Prehistoric Roots
We don't just sit near history; we live on it. The resort premises encompass the famous HD-2 Ras Al Hadd archaeological site, an active encampment dating back to the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age periods (3200–3700 BC). Rare treasures uncovered on our grounds—from ancient prehistoric jewelry to tools—are proudly displayed near our lobby for you to explore

What Our Guest Say
“We have wanted to stay here a few times, but it was either booked up or closed. Well, it was well worth the visit. Our room was nice enough, overlooking the water, with its own veranda. The room was also very clean. This place has a licensed bar, a pool overlooking the sea, great food for lunch and the beach is beautiful. We swam in the sea for hours. We could have easily spent another night here relaxing. It has a playground too and would be great for families with younger kids. I hope to go back again”
