A Hidden Gem on the Coast
The coast of Oman is characterized by towering mountains rising along the shoreline, but nowhere are they as steep and majestic as in Musandam. This Omani enclave is separated from the rest of Oman by the United Arab Emirates, and within the area, Zighy Bay stands out as a unique enclave in itself. Six Senses Zighy Bay is the perfect choice for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Here, you will find total peace and harmony.
Six Senses Zighy Bay is built in the style of a traditional Omani village, with individual villas surrounded by high stone walls and wooden fences, separated by sandy paths lined with date palms. You might even encounter curious goats exploring from the organic farm. The villas embrace you with a warm blanket of comfort, tranquility, and privacy. Equipped with all modern amenities and a private pool where you can relax to your heart's content.
Nestled between the mountain walls and the vast Gulf of Oman, you will feel completely alone in the world. But if you step out of your villa oasis, you can discover traditional villages with souks, Bedouin camps, and fishing harbors in the surrounding area. You can also experience authentic culinary delights at Six Senses with local cooking skills that will leave you amazed. The award-winning Sense on the Edge offers gastronomic delights from the top of the surrounding cliffs.
As the day comes to an end and the sun sets, don’t forget to gaze at the breathtakingly beautiful night sky. Perhaps you will see a shooting star, and your wish will come true... then you'll never want to leave.

The central core of the villa is formed by the elegant beach chic bedroom, from which you automatically navigate to the wonderfully cooling private pool, surrounded by a patio and ample space to enjoy this marvelous destination.
Experiences
This hotel offers a wide range of experiences, from relaxing spa treatments to adventurous excursions. Below is a selection of the options available.
Paragliding
The moment you first arrive at Six Senses Zighy Bay is unforgettable. From the top of a 300-meter-high cliff, you overlook the breathtakingly beautiful surroundings of the resort. You can turn this first impression into a spectacular entrance by soaring down with a professional for a gentle landing on the beach.
Dhahab Cruise
Board a traditional dhahab and cruise in style along the coast of Musandam. The boat offers trips of 1 or 2 nights, with a variety of activities such as spa treatments, diving, and snorkeling. Onboard, the finest local dishes are served. The cruise provides you with the opportunity to watch the stunning landscape pass by from the deck and to enjoy the starry sky at night. And you might even be pleasantly surprised by a visit from dolphins!
Picnic at the Sabatyn Plateau
Explore the rugged beauty of the Sabatyn Plateau by 4WD, visit the eponymous village, and admire the stunning views of Wadi Al Bih. The program includes a wealth of rock engravings, stone towers, and ancient houses. At the viewpoint, you can enjoy both the breathtaking scenery and a delicious picnic.
Hotel Information
Accommodation
Privacy and seclusion are the key words that describe the 82 villas at Six Senses Zighy Bay. Built in a traditional style with natural stone, wooden walls, and intricate details, they are spacious and equipped with all modern comforts. High ceilings and colorful cushions reflect the traditional design, and all villas feature the most comfortable beds and a beautiful patio surrounding a private pool. The Pool Villa Suites are true gems, located either more towards the mountains or directly on the beach. The view from the Beachfront Suites is simply unbeatable.
Restaurants
Six Senses Zighy Bay offers a culinary tour featuring organic and local ingredients, rich Arab flavors, and spectacular locations. The award-winning Sense on the Edge combines a superb location atop the cliff with contemporary dishes and ambiance. Shua Shack provides a unique way to experience Arab cuisine, renowned for its variety, flavor, and simplicity. Authentic and Bedouin-style, the culinary dishes are prepared underground or on the grill. Additionally, there are two bars and two poolside venues serving snacks for those light cravings, as well as the main restaurant Spice Market offering a range of options for breakfast and dinner.
Wellness and Spa
Sandy paths, towering date palms, and lime bushes surround this oasis of well-being, which embraces local healing traditions and employs smart technology, all under one roof. With two Arab hammams, an ice cave, a menu of skin-purifying and soul-soothing treatments, outdoor yoga with stunning sunrise views, an indoor fitness area, or outdoor workouts in the jungle gym, the Six Senses Spa has something for everyone.
Swimming pool
Six Senses Zighy Bay offers a stunning main pool, centrally located within the resort, with a serene ambiance and excellent service. It is a wonderful spot to relax and exchange your private cocoon for a different setting.
Beach
The resort is located on a breathtaking private beach. The bay is calm and secluded, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing walk along the shore. Enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings.
Sustainability
Complete focus on sustainability runs through the veins of Six Senses in general, and at this remote location, this means that from the very beginning, close collaboration with the local community has been a priority. Both staff and guests are involved in a range of activities contributing to energy savings, social care and infrastructure, waste management, and a plastic-free policy. Products are sourced as locally as possible, so the chefs are often at the Dibba fish market at sunrise to find the freshest ingredients.
