In the infamous words of the inimitable Spice Girls "a-zig a-zig ahhhhhh" - they were surely talking about this Six Senses stunner (and you won't be able to stop humming this when there - you're welcome!)
Awe-inspiring rugged beauty on the northern Musandam Peninsula in the Sultanate of Oman, indigenous village accommodations and a dramatic mountain-range backdrop should make you want to "get with your friends." No? How about Shua Shack bedouin dining on the beach plush settees and a lavish selection of local mezzes, salads and shua-roasted lamb? Hello, heaven.
