Barefoot luxury at Zighy Bay, Oman
I remember watching the movie The Barefoot Contessa with Ava Gardner as a teenager, and thinking that the title was the most appealing oxymoron. I feel like mimicking the idea here, as barefoot luxury truly says it all about the days that we spent at the eco-resort...
