Getting there
Like everything else about Six Senses Zighy Bay, getting there is nothing like your usual drive. You can take the rocky road with the resort’s SUVs through the mountain, or soar in via a paraglider, making the most out of the beautiful scenery on the way down. If you happen to be near Dibba Marina, you may want to try the speed boat ride to Zighy Marina and enjoy the resort’s mesmerising view from the sea.
The stay
Built to resemble an authentic Omani village, Six Senses Zighy Bay offers multiple accommodation options, with private villas built with stone and timber, complete with a private pool, separated perfectly with sunlit sandy lanes to guarantee ultimate privacy. For a one of a kind experience, we recommend you stay at The Reserve, with direct access to the beach and four bedrooms to host a group of 10 people, it provides the best option for a family or a group adventure.
The Food
When it comes to dining, Six Senses Zighy Bay knows how to fulfil every gourmand’s pleasure with zero guilt. Spice Market offers an interactive dining experience, with its open kitchen and international food selection, this restaurant offers some of the finest produce grown in the resort’s farm, including dates and fresh herbs. A must try is Sense on The Edge, set on top of a mountain and overlooking the resort and the Arabian Gulf, dining is a journey for all the senses through the French and Japanese cuisine with a Middle Eastern touch. For a romantic dinner experience, choose the Starlight and Moonlight tables, perched on a private terrace with a premium view overlooking the azure waters.
The relaxation
Make sure you head to Six Senses Spa, where your treatment starts with a wellness screening to identify the programme that suits you best before heading to one of the nine treatment rooms. The Alchemy Bar offers ingredients inspired by the local Omani environment, customs and traditions chosen to revitalize and nourish the body and soul, and you can experiment by creating your own exfoliator from the displayed ingredients and favourite aromas. If you’re looking for a wellness experience without compromising your sun and pool time, let the Salt Water pool float away the tension and toxins from your body in an experience you will not find anywhere else in the Middle East.
For a perfect day end, unwind at Zighy Bar by the pool and enjoy cool beverages under the starry night, you may want to experience the private cinema Paradiso and enjoy your favourite movie under the stars with an option to set it up in your private villa.
