Set between rugged mountains and a broad, sandy beach, this dramatic village-style enclave on a headland of the northern Musandam Peninsula is two hours by car from Dubai International Airport. The 82 spacious villas are done in rustic-chic décor, each with a private infinity-edge pool and sun lounge. The hilltop Sense on the Edge restaurant offers spectacular views over the Gulf of Oman, while the open-air Shua Shack serves traditional Arabic cuisine. The property also encompasses a large central pool, a private marina and a comprehensive spa with nine treatment rooms, hammams, a gym and wellness programs. Outdoor diversions include diving, sailing, boating, paragliding, mountain biking and hiking, plus whale shark-watching from January to March.
Multiday boat excursions on the Gulf of Oman and through the waterways of Musandam are available on the hotel’s new private 90-foot vessel, Dhahab, which can accommodate up to six people.
