ENVI Lodges is set to expand its footprint in Oman with the introduction of ENVI Al Sifah, its second property in the Sultanate.
Anticipated to open its doors in late 2025, this eco-retreat, nestled along the pristine shores of Al Sifah, promises an unparalleled beach experience, immersing guests in the beauty of the Omani coastline and its rich cultural heritage. Following closely on the heels of ENVI’s entry into Oman with the mountain eco-lodge, ENVI Al Jabel Al Akhdar, the new property is strategically located just an hour away from Muscat.
ENVI Al Sifah will feature 40 luxury sea-view tents meticulously crafted by Tenthouse Structures, designed to withstand coastal climates while ensuring natural ventilation for guest comfort. Owned by a consortium of Omani investors, the ecolodge will offer common facilities, including a seafood and locally sourced cuisine restaurant, a wellness centre, a swimming pool, a kids’ club, and an activities centre. Outdoor spaces will host fireside theme nights and feature an open-air beach cinema.
Experiences at ENVI Al Sifah will not only connect guests to Omani culture but also include dhow restoration and cooking workshops. The eco-lodge will provide relaxation through meditation and yoga sessions, while adventure enthusiasts can partake in kayaking, snorkelling, paddleboarding in the Gulf of Oman, hiking, and exploring nearby Bandar Khayran, a hidden gem beach renowned for its breath-taking views and sustainable fishing practices.
Committed to sustainable tourism, ENVI Lodges will implement eco-friendly practices, including the use of renewable energy sources, water conservation, recycling, and waste management programs. The company also plans to engage and support local communities, starting with the rehabilitation of a nearby children’s playground.
Co-Founder Noëlle Homsy expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating: “ENVI Al Sifah represents a harmonious blend of an adventure wadi experience and a serene beach retreat in a single ecolodge. We are fortunate to have access to this unique site, where the raw, unspoiled beauty of the Omani coastline meets the rich biodiversity of the wadi, creating a space that offers both excitement and tranquillity.” She added, “We are grateful for the opportunity to develop responsibly on this unparalleled beach stretch and aim to establish ENVI Al Sifah as a distinctive destination.”
This expansion in Oman underscores ENVI Lodges’ dedication to sustainable and impactful hospitality, complementing its previous property announcements across the Middle East, Africa, and South America.
