together across their resorts. We have often waxed lyrical about the KidsOnly Club at our favourite One&Only properties, and your little ones will love spending time there while you chill out at the spa or swap homeschooling stories with other parents. But ‘Not all classrooms have walls’ is designed to go beyond the conventional idea of a kids’ club, with each resort offering its own curated collection of activities designed to help families reconnect.

A new-found appreciation for the natural world is something many of us have nurtured over the course of the pandemic, and nature takes centre stage at One&Only Palmilla on Mexico’s Pacific coast. Here you can go whale watching in the Sea of Cortez, snorkel with majestic whale sharks, or enjoy the privilege of taking part in a turtle release programme. At nearby One&Only Mandarina you can hike, mountain bike or zipline through pristine rainforest, learning about the

&ONLY ONE

history of the local indigenous people and the endemic flora and fauna of the region.

Nature is also on your doorstep at the One&Only Le Saint Géran, on the northeast coast of Mauritius. Explore the protected reserve of the Île aux Aigrettes, home to the iconic pink pigeon and giant Aldabra tortoises. There are plenty of opportunities for cultural immersion too, whether it’s shopping at a local market with the hotel chef or enjoying a private audience with Mauritian artist Salim Currimjee.

OZEN LIFE MAADHOO & OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI MALDIVES

REBECCA, Head of Sales recently returned from an All-Inclusive escape to the Maldives.

OMAN

There is a saying in Oman: “Better old silk than new wool.” And it is perhaps in this spirit that the country has chosen to eschew the extravagant glass towers, artificial islands and oversized shopping malls of its neighbours, trusting instead that discerning tourists will be drawn to Oman by its rich culture, epic scenery and warm hospitality. This is the real Arabia, a land of soaring mountains and plunging wadis, bustling souks and vast, empty deserts.

From sleek city hotels to Bedouin encampments under starry skies, Oman offers some incredible places to stay, and no shortage of ways to explore, whether it’s a cruise on a traditional dhow boat, a camel safari across burnt ochre dunes or a heart-pounding hike through the Jebel Akhdar mountains. You can kayak with dolphins, watch green turtles nesting in the early hours of the morning, and even paraglide from the top of a mountain. It’s a richly textured country, bursting with flavours: fragrant rosewater, slow-cooked shuwa over spiced rice, honey-soaked desserts and coffee served with cardamom. Ancient landscapes are dotted with apricot and pomegranate trees, sleepy smallholdings and crumbling forts.

The Omanis have followed a deliberate policy of low-rise development and traditional architecture, and our favourite hotels here remain, for the most part, those that we have been sending our clients to for many years. In the city of Muscat itself, The Chedi is the most desirable address in town, an elegant boutique-style retreat that’s a perfect base for exploring Oman’s low-key capital. Just 15 minutes from downtown Muscat lies Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa, which offers two resorts in one: Al Waha is aimed firmly at families, while Al Bandar has a more adult ambience. Just across the bay is one of Oman’s newer hotels, the impressive Jumeirah Muscat Bay, which occupies its own private beach and opened in 2022. And no list of top Omani resorts would be complete without mentioning the Al Bustan Palace, a true institution with a real ‘Old Arabia’ ambience, as well as some of the best sports and leisure facilities in the region.

If you’re not sure which hotel to choose, then give us a call; we can’t wait to introduce you to this incredible country.

For this touring itineraries, it is imperative that excellent guides are available to enhance your experience of Oman further, as well as having the knowledge to navigate a personalised itinerary that gives our clients everything they can desire, so I am delighted to have enhanced my knowledge of this unique destination and look forward to sharing it with you.
