Jutting 300 meters into the Arabian Gulf on its own man–made island, it was created to represent the shape of a billowing Arabian dhow sail. The building of the Burj Al Arab was limited by neither expense nor imagination, and as a result it is now one of the world’s most celebrated hotels.

French windows lead out onto a private terrace enveloped by verdant gardens, and an infinity pool reflects the stunning dunes beyond.

SIX SENSES ZIGHY BAY
Zighy Bay occupies a very special spot on Oman’s Musandam Peninsula.
Hidden behind the majestic Hajar Mountains and fronted by a 1.6 kilometer white beach, the Six Senses resort feels as mythical as the landscape that surrounds it. The location may be remote but that only adds to the imaginative ways of arrival; guests can either arrive by speedboat or paraglide off the towering mountains into the heart of the bay. There is, of course, the safer option of driving — only 90 minutes from Dubai International airport. The resort itself is set in the style of a traditional Omani village.
TOP SUITE BEIT MUSANDAM
Why we love it: It is hard to find somewhere more exclusive than the Beit Musandam, also known as The Private Reserve. Here you are waited on by a live–in butler and personal chef who will cater to your every need, regardless of the time. Far away from the main resort, yet not compromising the stunning vistas across the bay, Beit Musandam has its own stretch of beach, garden and oversized infinity pool. The house is subtle, reflecting traditional Omani architecture, yet it is vast, with four en-suite bedrooms, a variety of separate living and dining areas, a gym and a wine cellar. Grandiose yet subtle, the emphasis is on privacy and space with particular attention to detail.
