Oman
Located 15km south of Al Ashkharah, this small resort has been tastefully designed with modern furniture and quality bathrooms. Most rooms have a verandah with an ocean view – just as well, given it's a fair walk to the high-tide line. Indoor games, quad bikes (OR10 per hour) and horse riding (OR6 per hour) provide for the restless.
Book ahead for boat and fishing trips (from OR50). Great coffee is on tap in the resort's delightful new coffeeshop.
