Whether you drive or paraglide into Six Senses Zighy Bay, one thing is for sure – you won’t want to leave. This chic retreat set within its own private bay, provides your perfect escape from the rest of the world. Go mountain biking, snorkelling, rock climbing or hiking. Then wrap up your day with a treatment in the spa or a sunset cruise.
Leave the skyscrapers of Abu Dhabi and drive out into the Liwa desert to find the oasis that is Qasr Al Sarab. However, this is no mirage, it really is as magnificent as it looks. Expect gastronomic treats at a rooftop terrace that overlooks the desert, hammam spa rituals on marble beds and desert treks with naturists. It’s not just a hotel, it’s an experience.
If you really want to get away from it all, book into Al Maha Resort & Spa. Nothing will interrupt your time there, except maybe an oryx walking past your private pool. You can join the field guides by foot, 4WD, camel or horseback to explore the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve within which this glamorous resort is set.
