Experience

Embark on an unforgettable culinary journey where sustainability meets the sea at Alila Hinu Bay. Your adventure begins with an exclusive visit to the Oman Aquaculture Company, the Middle East’s only producer of abalone. Guided by expert farmers, witness the delicate process from ocean waters to harvest, deepening your connection to the origins of this prized delicacy. Back at our award-winning restaurant Seasalt, join Chef Prakash Sundaram for an intimate cooking demonstration, where tradition and innovation come together in exquisite harmony. Learn the intricate craft of preparing abalone sashimi and the indulgent abalone gratin, a perfect fusion of texture and taste. Each dish reflects the rich, distinct profile of Omani abalone, setting it apart from varieties found in China or South Africa.
More than a meal, this experience is a story of awareness of nature’s balance: by choosing sustainably harvested seafood, you contribute to the preservation of marine ecosystems. As a keepsake, take home a radiant abalone shell—a shimmering reminder of your journey into the heart of conscious dining.
