Nestled in Oman's dramatic Musandam Peninsula, where rugged mountains bathe in vibrant emerald waters, the village-style Six Senses Zighy Bay in Oman offers a range of villas, suites, and beachfront retreats, each with a private pool. A dreamlike spa ensures your well-being, while numerous adventures await outside. Spend your days diving, snorkeling, hiking, climbing, canyoning, beach cleaning, kayaking, or fishing. The resort's cuisine captivates with Arabic spices and authentic dishes.
If you want a change of pace from the glorious tranquility, there is an incredible range of stimulating distractions, from local cooking classes to canyoning in the rocky wadis. Play pétanque or beach volleyball, do yoga or Pilates, or sign up for boot camp at the Jungle Gym. The adjacent bays are perfect for water skiing, snorkeling excursions, or diving expeditions. Paragliding from the cliffs, mountain biking in the Hajar Mountains, hiking on goat trails, climbing, or microlight flights are also possible.
Designed like a traditional Omani village, the individual stone houses are detached villas and suites. Each villa has a private plunge pool with sun loungers, a terrace with dining area, a private sand garden, shaded outdoor majlis (seating areas), and an outdoor shower. Suites feature a separate bedroom and living room, two bathrooms, and two outdoor showers. Treat yourself to your own retreat with three bedrooms on two floors, large pools, and a fitted kitchen, or book the unique Private Reserve with four bedrooms, a spacious dining room, and a private beach area.
The Spice Market offers a feast of organic Arabic dishes and regional specialties. Once you've tried the grilled beef fillet with couscous and the locally marinated fish, you'll fall in love with Arabic spices. The Summer House is more relaxed and serves casual barbecue dishes, pasta, sandwiches, and salads, as well as a weekly changing specialty menu. The refreshingly unobtrusive Zighy Bar mixes cocktails, lassis, smoothies, and homemade lemonades and cocktails, while the underground wine cellar offers tastings for up to eight people.
The enchanting Six Senses Zighy Bay is located amid majestic mountains and the beautiful beach on the Gulf of Oman on the northern Musandam Peninsula. Here, great importance is attached to sustainability and the preservation of the wonderful natural environment. The magnificent resort is built from natural stone and many sustainable materials and conveys the flair of a traditional Omani village. The exclusive villas have also been built in harmony with the precious natural surroundings and offer private pools, luxurious spaciousness, elegance, and privacy. The resort offers wonderful restaurants and bars with culinary delights, an excellent wellness area with spa and gym, a tropical jungle gym, a romantic open-air beach cinema, and exclusive opportunities to add a little adrenaline to your dream vacation.
