At dawn the sun rises slowly over the off-shore islands, cormorants drying their wings as ancient dhows sail past.
You eat breakfast in an open, stone-walled
dining room
overlooking the bay, and
afterward can go for a leisurely
boat ride around the island, or venture off on a hike,
or try fishing with a traditional bamboo fly-rod,
or even just sit in one of the canvas beach chairs
and listen as the morning waves gently brush the shoreline.
