Enjoying a spectacularly isolated location on the northernmost tip of Oman, this award-winning resort combines a superb coastal position alongside an exciting mountain backdrop towards the south, truly delivering the best of both worlds. This means you can wake up and head out for a swim or sunbathe on the beach, then take full advantage of the wealth of activities available inland, such as hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing - or even take a microlight flight! The range of 82 villas and suites are just as impressive as the location, each providing a private plunge pool, terrace, dining area and outside shower. Villas here are arranged to mimic a traditional Omani village, and the chunky stone walls help to keep things cool, as well as air conditioning throughout. For more space for swimming, head to the resort’s freeform infinity edge pool which overlooks the ocean horizon and has ample sun loungers for a relaxing poolside with refreshment in-hand. For dining, you don’t have to venture too far either. Zighy Bay’s signature restaurant is perched atop the rocky hill overlooking the resort and serves traditional dishes with a modern, creative twist.

There’s a whopping six different dining options to choose from at Zighy Bay, the most spectacular being the resort’s signature ‘Sense on the Edge’ restaurant, which enjoys a hilltop position overlooking the majestic Gulf of Oman.

Sense of the Edge

Zighy Bay’s signature restaurant provides a fine-dining experience like no other; perched atop the rocky hill overlooking the resort and Gulf of Oman, Sense on the Edge has a choice of five, seven or nine-course menus showcasing the best in modern Omani and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Shua Shack

This compact dining area opens every Thursday from 6:30pm, presenting some quaint Bedouin décor and furnishings with a menu to match, including local organic salads and roasted lamb prepared in the traditional underground oven.

Spice Market

Spice Market, one of the resort’s most popular dining venues, has a long menu encompassing flavors from across the Middle East. Breakfast is served here every day and the restaurant stays open late for a relaxed dinner experience.

Summer House

For a lighter bite, head over to the casual Summer House, which serves up a range of appetizers, refreshments and cooling homemade ice creams and sorbets – perfect to cool off on a hot summer’s day.

Wine Cellar

Group sizes from two to eight persons can head down to the resort’s very own wine cellar for tasting sessions. Wines here are both New and Old World imports, and guests can consult the in-house sommelier for recommendations on the best pairings for their dinner.

Zighy Bar

The resort’s namesake bar is the place to come for a range of mocktails and cocktails which can be ordered throughout the day. Views are great too, stretching across the rugged mountains, creating the perfect spot for a soothing sundowner in the evening.
