Trailer treasure
This outdoorsy Dubai enclave
has had a trendy makeover
by Meraas to lure adventure
seekers, complete with cosy
lodges and vintage trailers to
bed down in along the bank
of Hatta Dam. After a restful
night’s sleep, get active by
setting off on a mountain
bike, going zorbing, ziplining,
or whizzing down the shoots
at the water jump park – you
can even test your skills at
axe throwing. It’s all part
of the Hatta Wadi Hub
experience (visithatta.com).MALDIVES
Welcome to the jungle
Do the Maldives, safari-style,
by staying in the Jungle
Tented Villas at Fairmont
Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi.
In this secluded spot, you can
brave the wilderness from
your rustic abode, albeit with
a few little luxuries on hand,
including an outdoor rain
shower and roll-top tub.
The atoll is a 50-minute
seaplane ride from Malé
International Airport.
