In January 2023, our colleague Alexandra visited the amazing Six Senses Zighy Bay Oman and she share her experience with us:
Nestled on the northern Musandam Peninsula of Oman, Six Senses Zighy Bay stands as a beacon of luxury, tranquility, and natural beauty. With its stunning landscape, impeccable service, and unique offerings, this resort has become a favorite among Eastern European travelers seeking an exotic escape without spending many hours flying. In this review, we'll delve into the exquisite experience that Six Senses Zighy Bay offers to its guests.
Breathtaking Location
One of the resort's most captivating features is its location. Situated between rugged mountains and the azure waters of the Gulf of Oman, Six Senses Zighy Bay offers a unique blend of mountainous terrain and pristine coastline. The dramatic juxtaposition of towering cliffs against the tranquil sea provides a backdrop that is both stunning and surreal.
Note: Six Senses Zighy Bay is only a 2h panoramic drive from Dubai. The Reservation team will take care in advance of the Oman entry permit for the guests.
Luxurious Villas
The resort offers a range of luxurious accommodations, from private villas with their own heated pools to charming suites overlooking the bay. Each unit is thoughtfully designed, combining traditional Omani architecture with modern comforts. The interiors are spacious, elegantly furnished, and equipped with top-notch amenities (AC, TV, wine bar, Nespresso machine, sound system etc).
Gastronomic Delights
Six Senses Zighy Bay takes culinary experiences to another level. The resort boasts several world-class dining options, including Sense on the Edge, a mountaintop restaurant offering breathtaking panoramic views alongside a delectable tasting menu (5 or 7-course menu). For a more casual experience, the Spice Market offers a fusion of Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Southeast Asian flavors.
Signature Spa and Wellness
The Six Senses brand is renowned for its focus on wellness, and Zighy Bay is no exception. The resort's spa is a sanctuary of rejuvenation, offering a range of holistic treatments, wellness programs, and fitness activities. Guests can indulge in traditional hammam rituals, and yoga classes, and even learn about the resort's commitment to sustainability.
Must try: Wellness screening - a non-invasive analysis that measures your key biomarkers and helps you understand what your body really needs. It's simple, it's quick and the readings along with a discussion about your lifestyle are used in the design of a treatment or a bespoke multi-day program specific to your needs.
Thrilling Activities
Adventurous souls will find a plethora of activities to keep them engaged. From paragliding onto the resort's private beach (which I experienced) to exploring the vibrant marine life through snorkeling and diving, there's no shortage of thrilling experiences. Guests can also embark on a dhow cruise to witness the mesmerizing fjords of Musandam.
Warmth of Omani Hospitality
The heart of Six Senses Zighy Bay lies in its warm and attentive staff. The Omani hospitality shines through in every interaction, making guests feel like they are part of an extended family. The genuine care and attention to detail ensure that every aspect of the stay is tailored to individual preferences.
Six Senses Zighy Bay isn't just a resort; it's a destination that crafts unforgettable memories. With its awe-inspiring setting, luxurious accommodations, diverse culinary experiences, wellness offerings, and exciting activities, this oasis in Oman provides a holistic escape for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure. The resort's harmonious blend of nature, luxury, and cultural authenticity sets it apart as a gem in the world of hospitality, inviting guests to indulge in the ultimate sensory journey.
