Full accommodation information

Located on the northern Musandam Peninsula in the stunning Sultanate of Oman, the Six Senses Zighy Bay resort offers a truly unique setting combined with level of service that is so rarely experienced – you won’t believe it until you step foot onto its exceptionally remote sands.

Sink back into blissful all-pool villas with attentive host service. Beachfront Retreats are lavish, or for a truly royal stay, book the Beachfront Reserve at the secluded end of Zighy Bay, complete with separate living and dining areas, private spa suite, wine cellar and a live-in Guest Experience Maker to cater to your every whim.

Dining at Six Senses Zighy Bay is an event, with four decadent restaurants to choose from and a complimentary ice cream parlour to enjoy. Be sure to make a reservation at Sense on the Edge; set 293m above the resort on a mountaintop, the views from this high-altitude restaurant are almost as impressive as its world-class flavours.

Take in as much relaxation or activity as you choose at this majestic resort. Embark on a luxury Sunset Cruise or exhilarating Rock Climbing adventure, before hiking the many trails of Zighy Bay. In the evening, watch a classic film under a canopy of stars at Zighy Bay's outdoor cinema.
