Why VacationHalal
“Halal-friendly” isn’t a protected term
One resort uses it for a fully alcohol-free property with a screened women-only beach. Another uses it because there’s a prayer mat on request. We document the difference, with sources and dates, so you can book with your eyes open.

- Alcohol policyIs the whole property alcohol-free, or only some areas?
