Situated between the striking mountains and the sandy beach of the bay, this resort is a perfect escape during the winter months. Oman’s northern Musandam Peninsula plays host to stunning indigenous village-style accommodations and a private marina – the design contrasts stone foundations and dark-wood touches with bright colours appearing throughout the furniture and lush flora.

 
The pick of the six restaurants is Sense on the Edge, which offers dinner on top of a mountain with a view over the spectacular bay for a truly unforgettable evening (Wednesday to Sundays). If you visit from January to March, make sure to go whale-shark watching too.
