Some hotels let you arrive in style, while others take it to a whole new level, like Six Senses Zighy Bay, where you can actually paraglide into the resort, taking in the eerily beautiful landscape as you go!

Flanked on one side by dramatic mountains and on the other by a mile-long talc-soft sandy beach, this Oman outpost of the highly regarded Six Senses group is an Indigenous-style village of opulent sand-coloured villas with its own private marina. Pathways lead to stone and wood villas; each with its own infinity-edge pool and butler service, whilst the décor leans towards Omani tastes, with a very chic twist.
