Six Senses Zighy Bay, Oman
If the speedboat or jeep ride through mountainous desert terrain does not jazz you, you can make a dramatic entrance descending some 2,000 ft on a paraglider. (Six Senses Resorts & Spas/Kiattipong Panchee)
Dhoni Island, Maldives
Set on a private island, the resort is just a 25-minute flight from the capital — but the five-hour sail via dhoni, or traditional wooden sailboat, is much more indulgent. (Dhoni Island)
Peninsula Hong Kong
The hotel is the only one in the city with a private helicopter pad. Guests can make the jaunt from Hong Kong Airport in a sleek Aerospatiale AS355N Twin Squirrel craft. (Peninsula, Hong Kong)
Take this hydraulic sea tractor across the tidal causeway to this Art Deco property off the coast of South Devon in just minutes at high tide. (Burgh Island Hotel)
