Nestled in Oman’s dramatic Musandam Peninsula, Six Senses Zighy Bay is a village-inspired resort that offers guests every opportunity to enjoy a luxurious wellness break in a location where rugged mountains dive into vibrant emerald waters in front of a powdery sand beach.
Accommodation is provided in a range of traditionally built villas, suites and beachfront retreats, each of which comes complete with a private pool and a summer house, providing all the space you need to decompress and bathe in your glorious surroundings.
An eclectic range of dining options offers local and international cuisine, from Asian to Mediterranean dishes, in some of the most glorious restaurants that you will ever have the privilege to visit, including the alfresco Sense on the Edge, perched 293 meres above the bay.
As well as a wide range of activities designed to fulfill your sense of adventure while in the sultanate, Six Senses offers its trademark high-end approach to guest wellbeing in a heavenly spa that offers state-of-the-art facilities, soul-soothing treatments and restorative wellness programmes designed to leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised by the end of your stay.
Six Senses Spa
The Six Senses spa at Zighy Bay is a sanctuary of wellness surrounded by date palm trees and lime bushes. Past the luxurious welcome lounge and boutique retail area lie a steam room, a sauna, an ice cave and two Arabian-style hammams where traditional exfoliating rituals are held. Time in the indoor fitness centre or a session in the outdoor jungle gym will set you up perfectly for a restful moment in the cocooning relaxation room, or visit the signature Six Senses Alchemy Bar, where guests are guided in concocting their very own skincare and aromatherapy products.
Nine treatment rooms offer a menu of skin-purifying and soul soothing treatments. Highlights include: a cleansing Arabian Facial using natural ingredients such as figs, almond powder and warm honey; the Wonders of Oman body rasul and massage; and a full-body Jet Lag Recovery massage ritual to reset your internal clock.
Six Senses also offers a comprehensive range of diagnostic and remedial Wellness Programs, using smart technology to assess guests’ inner health, movement and sleep patterns. Expert visiting practitioners then provide personalised treatments, activities and dietary recommendations to help you start on a path to wellness that can be sustained both during and after your stay.
The resort’s dedication to guest wellness even extends to a Sleep with Six Senses Program that offers the insight of internationally renowned experts to ensure this fundamental building block of wellbeing is maximised during your wellness break.

To Stay
Built from natural stone and timber in a traditional Omani style, the serene villas at Zighy Bay are positioned along sunlit sandy lanes and offer organic bedding, plumped-up sunloungers and plunge pools surrounded by mountain-stone walls.
Available set back from the beach or as beachfront dwellings, Pool Villas for up to four people have one bedroom and combined living area with a large daybed sofa, as well as their own sand gardens and private pools. Pool Villa Suites are relaxing enclaves with a separate living space and two outdoor showers.
Duplex Two Bedroom Pool Villas and Villa Suites, also available in beachfront positions, provide panoramic balconies and can accommodate up to five people, making them ideal for families who desire a little more space and privacy.
The Retreats – one at each end of the beach resort – are spacious three-bedroom-and-bathroom villas with ocean views that can house up to eight guests, with amenities including oversized infinity-edge swimming pools and al fresco dining areas.
And for groups of up to ten guests, The Private Reserve is a sublime four-bedroom beachfront property with a 17m swimming pool and its own stretch of private beach. Spread across three buildings, accommodation includes a master bedroom with a copper bath, separate living and dining room areas for entertaining, a wine cellar, staff quarters, a full-service kitchen and its own cinema room.
To Eat
A world of flavours awaits diners at Six Senses Zighy Bay, with a collection of restaurants set in stunning locations offering a wide variety of globally inspired cuisine.
Perfect for a light bite, refreshing drink or satisfying dinner, the poolside Summer House serves contemporary Asian and Mediterranean dishes including seafood, grills and homemade ice creams and sorbets.
For a true taste of the Middle East head to the Spice Market, where four-course Arabian Safari and Spice Market Journey menus are cooked in a traditional mud kitchen and served in a dining room characterised by earthy and bold colours.
Set outdoors against a simply stunning backdrop some 293 metres above the bay, Sense on the Edge is a dining experience like no other, with regional flavours given an unmistakably French twist in the revelatory nine-course Crafted Adventure menu.
For a more low-key but nonetheless stylish and unique family meal – right on the beach – the Shua Shack is described as a ‘signature Bedouin dining encounter’ that includes cold and hot meze, Omani Shua lamb and local sweet delicacies.
For liquid refreshment, Zighy Bar offers classic, modern, local and organic mocktails and cocktails, while the Wine Cellar’s master sommelier can guide you through a bespoke tasting session complete with a cheese or chocolate accompaniment.
