Six Senses Zighy Bay is a luxury hideaway located on the northern Musandam Peninsula in the Sultanate of Oman, two hours from Dubai. Set in spectacular isolation, with dramatic mountains to one side and a kilometer long sandy beach on the other, this hotel will appeal to couples looking for an exclusive and private hideaway. First class facilities include a variety of restaurants and bars, the renowned Six Senses Spa and two main pools.
This luxurious all-villa property is built out of natural stone and wood, its design inspired by a traditional Omani Village. The 82 oversized villas are simple, yet terribly stylish and feature stunning bathrooms and luxury amenities. All come with a pool and a butler for maximum pampering. The Duplex Villas are ideal for families.
Choose from a multitude of fine dining options featuring Arabian and international cuisine. A romantic dinner at Sense on the Edge, a mountain top restaurant with views over Zighy Bay, is a must. Another highlight is a traditional Bedouin communal dining experience with under sand cooking at Shua Shack.
There’s plenty to do for adventure seekers in and around Six Senses Zighy Bay. For pregnant women, you can do light hiking with your partner, go on a sunset cruise, watch a movie on the beach under the stars, or learn Arabic cooking.

For those wanting complete relaxation, Six Senses Spa offers an array of holistic treatments and wellness experiences.
Reef Villa & Spa, Sri Lanka
Located in the small, unspoiled seaside hamlet of Wadduwa along the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, Reef Villa and Spa is the ultimate tropical beach villa.
It features seven luxurious suites, set in three acres of exotic tropical gardens with palm fringed pavilions, reflection pools, and the shimmering Indian Ocean as a dramatic backdrop. The suites are immense and feature antique, four-poster, canopied beds and high ceilings lined with Kerala terracotta tiles. The furniture is a combination of original antique pieces and beautiful items modelled on furniture used by members of the East India Company.
With water sports, yoga classes and even a jogging track, you’ll rarely find yourself at a loss for things to do. You can enjoy heritage excursions to temples, castles and nature areas such as Sinharaja Forest and Madu Ganga. But if long, lazy days are what you’re looking for then there are plenty of places to just hide away from the world and curl up with a good book.
