Here at Serendipity Tailormade we’re all about finding you halal friendly hotels for your next holiday. Whilst there are very few 100% halal hotels, we work closely with our hotel partners to provide a halal friendly hotel experience when you visit them. Many of the properties we work with are conscious of the Muslim travellers’ needs, and in turn are providing halal hotel facilities where they can to make your stay more comfortable. It’s this relationship we have that enables you to enjoy your halal friendly holiday. As standard we will ensure where possible that any alcohol is removed from the minibar fridges in your room, and we’ll ask the hotel to provide you with the qiblah direction and some prayer times for your convenience. If you’re travelling during Ramadhan, we’ll liaise with the hotels to provide Suhoor instead of breakfast, with many of our partners keen to embrace the halal hotel philosophy. We also have an understanding with our partners to provide attention to requests for special occasions such as honeymoons. We have several properties which offer private pool villas, and when booked we ensure you obtain the most private available option for your stay. Some of our preferred hotels are also managed by Muslims, for example in the Maldives, Tanzania and Sri Lanka. We have a selection of halal resorts and halal hotels to incorporate into your holiday. Here are some of the halal friendly hotels we feature. Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, The Maldives
