But the city of\u00a0flashy cars, mega malls\u00a0and\u00a0shiny new skyscrapers isn&#8217;t necessarily for everyone. For those desiring a\u00a0different kind of luxury\u00a0experience, head 2\u00a0hours northeast of Dubai to Oman&#8217;s Musandam Peninsula. This portion of Oman is completely separated from the rest of the country by the United Arab Emirates. Even though\u00a0Dubai is the closest major city, the remote and mountainous landscape of Musandam yields\u00a0a sharp contrast to the glitzy desert metropolis. Here, set amid the rugged and barren Omani terrain, you will find one of the most stunning luxury resorts in the world, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Zighy-Bay-Hotels-Six-Senses-Zighy-Bay.h1688437.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Six Senses Zighy Bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We&#8217;re not joking around when we say this resort could\u00a0be right out of a James Bond movie. Situated\u00a0on a beautiful beachfront and surrounded by jagged mountains on all sides, there are three\u00a0ways guests\u00a0can choose to\u00a0arrive on property: You can drive down the mountain road, whiz in by speed boat, or paraglide off the side of the mountain and\u00a0float down to\u00a0resort below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ridiculousness\u00a0doesn&#8217;t stop there though. The Six Senses resort\u00a0itself is as beautiful as\u00a0its\u00a0surroundings. Private cobblestone villas\u00a0pepper the white sand\u00a0beach, each with their own private plunge pool. Sandy pathways lined with palm trees weave throughout\u00a0the property, leading to two\u00a0different resort pools, a spa, an activities area\u00a0and multiple amazing restaurants. Combining both luxury and adventure in one out-of-this-world location, we&#8217;ll take you on a photo journey through Six Sense Zighy Bay:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/5-dubai-skyscrapers-that-are-architectural-marvels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> 5 Dubai skyscrapers that are architectural marvels<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47227\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47227\" class=\"wp-image-47227\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_4282.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by CompassAndTwine.com\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_4282.jpg 5184w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_4282-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_4282-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_4282-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_4282-1250x833.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_4282-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SixSense Zighy Bay | Photo courtesy of \u00a0CompassAndTwine.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Float away the afternoon in the saltwater pool, staring up at the Musandam mountains all around.
