1. THE BEAUTY OF BAHRAIN
If you you want your weekend away to turn into something a little longer, book the Stay Longer, Experience More offer at The Ritz-Carlton Bahrain, which will give you 15 per cent savings when staying two nights or more, as well as resort and Royal Beach Club access. The beautiful property hugs the coast so the beach is on your doorstep, whilst its verdant landscaped gardens have created a little oasis in the city. Relax into your stay at the sea-inspired spa, be taken on a journey of ‘rough luxury’ dining at La Table Krug by Y, then sink into your club suite for a chic and cosy sleep.
2. A SEA HOTEL ADVENTURE
If there’s one truly spectacular way to soak up the magic of Oman, it’s by boat, as you cruise along the coastline to a backdrop of coves, beaches and undulating peaks. Six Senses Zighy Bay is taking to the seas for its latest out-of-the-ordinary escapade, with a one- or two-night trip aboard its recently refurbished 90-foot, three-bedroom Dhahab dhow. All meals will be crafted by a private chef, while adventures include touring the fjords, visiting quaint fishing villages and famous dive sites, to evenings watching the sun flicker over the Hajar Mountains. Book the new Stay and Cruise offer to enjoy four nights in the resort’s Pool Villa, as well as one night on the Dhahab, for the ultimate at sea experience.
3. ISLAND LIFE IN ABU DHABI
Retreat to the beach-framed beauty of Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort for a weekend - or longer - of quiet, sophisticated escapism, where understated luxury works hand in hand with a refined level of service. Book the Jumeirah Summer Escapes offer to enjoy 15 per cent off the Jumeirah Flexible Rate for four nights or more, as well as US100 credit across F&B, daily breakfast and unlimited access to the hotel’s spa, pools, and 400-metres of pristine beach.
