Bahamas

Spanning 750 miles and with some 700 tropical islands, the Bahamas offers a tropical adventure that can be as relaxing or high octane as you want. Whether you choose to bask on stunning beaches, indulge in the glamour of Paradise Island, sail to the dreamy Out Islands or swim with dolphins, simply sip a Bahama Mama and contemplate your next move. Formerly home to the legendary Blackbeard, the capital city, Nassau, on the island of New Providence, is full of pastel pink shops, Georgian architecture, tree-lined streets and fish fry shacks. Most of our featured resorts are located on New Providence but we can arrange day trips or overnight stays on many of the smaller Out Islands.

Whichever island you choose, watersports enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice with bone fishing, sailing, snorkelling and diving all popular pastimes here. You’ll find colourful coral reefs just offshore and for more adventurous scuba divers, the Bahamas is home to some of the most challenging cave and wreck diving on the planet.

There are regular non-stop flights from the UK to Nassau, or daily departures via Miami. Connecting flights to the Out Islands are available from Nassau and Miami. Flying time from Heathrow to Nassau is 10 hrs 15 minutes.

Six Senses Zighy Bay

Oman

Six Senses Zighy Bay is actually closer to Dubai than Muscat and so offers a great twin centre option, with the bustling city life and shopping of Dubai a complete contrast to the secluded retreat feel of Zighy Bay

We love the Beachfront Pool Villas for their uninterrupted sea views and direct access to the golden sands  

Food here is a serious affair. Have dinner at Sense on the Edge, located high in the mountains, for a meal to remember with breathtaking views, and afterwards relax with a cocktail under the stars 

Stay longer and be rewarded with complimentary return transfers (min. 6 nights’ stay), early bird 10% accommodation savings, plus children stay and eat free over the summer months; ask us for further details
