Designed with the innovative principles of SuperAdobe architecture, our resort is the first of its kind in the region, blending stunning earth-inspired design with unparalleled luxury and comfort.

Surrounding man-made terraced hot springs and a beautifully xeriscaped eco-park, our four-suite resort is a true oasis in the midst of the rugged oil fields. The visually stunning earth architecture, designed by a protégé of renowned architect Nader Khalili, creates an exotic and serene atmosphere that feels worlds away from the nearby industrial landscapes.

Committed to sustainability, Once Upon a Seaside boasts an off-grid and net-zero energy design, with on-site water reclamation and conversion into electricity. Guests can explore the region’s unique features through the Once Upon a Seaside Self-guided Tour Media, which offers educational insights into the history, highlights, science, and trivia of the local area.
