Overnight Camping

Sleep under the stars on a Daymaniyat island.

A rare, magical overnight on the Daymaniyat Islands. Watch the sunset over the reef, sleep beside the sea, and wake to snorkelling before the day-trippers arrive.

Offered seasonally in line with the nature reserve's rules — island landings are permitted only between 1 November and 30 April, when the beaches reopen after the nesting season.

We bring the camp, the meals and the gear; you bring a sense of adventure. Evenings are for stargazing and the morning is for the clearest water you'll find anywhere in Oman.
