Zighy Bay
The spectacular Zighy Bay, located on the northern Musandam Peninsula of Oman, both combines and defines the best of the Middle East. From sandy beaches framed by crystal blue waters to rugged mountain landscapes and the famed Musandam Fjords, this unique corner of the country is filled with natural beauty in every crevice. Visitors can enjoy days filled with adventure and excitement, exploring beneath the sea, up in the sky, and over the mountains.
Just a hop, skip, and a jump from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the rest of Oman, Zighy Bay is the ideal spot for a weekend or weeklong getaway, to get off the grid and indulge in luxury services, wondrous landscapes, and adrenaline-filled activities that will have people coming back for more.
One resort stands out above all others in Zighy Bay: Six Senses Zighy Bay beach resort. Guests here will be greeted with world-class dining and spa services, the perfect way to relax after a day out in the sun.
