Wow. An exceptional experience in a very unique part of the world—a quiet bay surrounded by stunning mountains. The service from start to finish was outstanding: they had bracelets with our kids’ names on them when we arrived, for example, and made the Easter Day celebration so fun for them with a full program of activities. Our personal attendant, Mubarak, responded immediately to WhatsApp messages and made the whole stay seamless. The breakfast buffet was the best I’ve ever seen, full of homemade nut butters (the pistachio is out of this world), tonics, and other healthy options. Their Sense on the Edge dining experience is pricey but worth it for the unique setting and incredible tasting menu. But the real highlight was two nights on their Dhahab boat, cruising up north and exploring the fjords. You have to book it way in advance and it’s expensive but a magical experience—great for kids too—with the best staff aboard and unbelievable nature all to yourself: sunrise kayaking, snorkeling with turtles and sharks, fishing, and speedboating around tiny fishing villages only accessible by boat. The resort is the perfect size: small enough to explore the whole thing by foot (though there are golf carts on hand whenever you need one) but big enough to stay interesting for several days.
