Six Senses Zighy Bay, lavish relaxation in Oman
There is a quiet corner of the Arabian Peninsula, where the nation of Oman reaches around the Indian Ocean and comes to the Straits of Hormuz. This is where the Musandam Peninsula almost reaches from Arabia to Persia and nearly turns the Persian Gulf into a lake. Along the Musandam Peninsula, the Sultan of Oman rules over several beautiful villages from his home in Muscat, several hundred miles to the southeast. Here you will encounter the sleepy village of Zighy, sometimes spelled Zaghi. Here the Indian Ocean breeze cools the land during the day, and the mountains of the Arabian Peninsula come down to the ocean and forms great cliffs, while the desert heat combines with the rest to create a stunning beach resort, the Six Senses Zighy Bay Resort.
Six Senses is a fairly large international consortium of deluxe facilities, and with Zighy Bay they have achieved an outstanding example of luxurious accommodations mixed with sun and surf. The Zighy Bay is actually a complex of Central Building, villas and other buildings scattered around several acres of beachfront, operating its own marina at the southern end of the beach. The estate welcomes children six or older, and your concierge can offer you all the equipment for every water sport imaginable on a bespoken basis, from scuba gear to wind-surfing boards, to simple plastic rafts for one of the several pools that the estate operates. Zighy Bay is also very community-minded, supporting the nearby village with donations and maintaining a set of eco-friendly practices.
