Soak In Sharjah’s Natural Landscape At This New Eco Retreat

We all know Sharjah is a busy and bustling residential area. And, most of us are about tired having to hustle to Dubai every time we need a staycation. But not anymore! The Sharjah Collection by Mantis is bringing us a delightful staycation escape with Kingfisher Lodge from the crowded Sharjah life on its hidden gem of the Gulf of Oman coast.

This delightful property is located on the tiny Sharjah exclave of Khor Kalba. This desert wetland is a pristine beauty. One look at it and you would wonder why you haven’t discovered this serene stretch yet! Dotted with mangroves and gushing tidal waves, its underratedness means it exudes calmness and privacy.

 

What’s It?

This luxury offering serves for a great glamping retreat. The Kingfisher Lodge features 25 tented suites, and they offer luxury encompassing traditional flavors of Emirati heritage. Not the kind of person to take a dip in the salty waters? Then, you will be glad to know that each of the tent villas offers a private pool overlooking the sea on its own.

The aesthetics of the property are eerily similar to the setting it is in- rustic, natural, and romantic.
