LUXURY TRAVEL 41 and in-villa dining elevate the experience further, making it especially well-suited to families travelling together or across generations.
THE STABLES
Selman’ s identity is inseparable from its horses. The hotel is home to a private stud of purebred Arabian thoroughbreds, a lineage rooted in the original stallion, Selman, from which the property takes its name. This is not an added experience but the defining thread of the hotel. Horses move through the paddocks daily, visible from terraces and gardens, bringing a quiet rhythm to the stay. For those who want to engage more meaningfully, the stables offer everything from guided encounters, horseback rides and dressage workshops to equine-assisted experiences and‘ Equitherapy’ designed to build confidence and connection. The range of experiences are suited to children, adult beginners as well as designated activities for more experienced riders.
Every Sunday, guests are invited to the famous brunch at Le Pavillon, in the heart of the hotel’ s lush gardens, whilst a parade of Arabian thoroughbreds perform. Revel in the beauty and grace of these magnificent stallions, whilst tasting fine local specialities and international dishes.
