If you’ve never arrived at a resort by paraglider before, perhaps it’s time to start. The setting of Six Senses Zighy Bay, lounging between a bright blue sea and bald desert mountains, means guests have their choice of Bond-style entrances, including by speed boat or 4×4, not to mention a number of high-octane activities like mountain biking and rock climbing. For those who come simply to bask in the Omani sun, softer pursuits such as Dhow cruises or Bedouin dining may appeal. And when summoning the energy to leave your luxe villa sounds like too much effort, there’s always the option to bask by your plunge pool in your private sand garden.
