How would you choose to arrive at a 5-star luxury resort in Oman? In a 4 x 4, winding up and over a mountain to be rewarded by a breathtaking view over the bay? Or by paragliding from the top of that mountain and landing alongside the spectacularly blue sea?
However you choose to arrive at Six Senses Zighy Bay in Oman (a short trip from Dubai), you will not be disappointed by what you discover on the other side. There are 79 villas in the resort – each boasting a private pool and personal butler on speed dial (yes, you heard that right). The décor is rustic, but totally luxurious – and the ambience of the place is incredibly peaceful. If you are looking for some time out from Dubai (just a 90 minute drive away), there are few better places you could head.
The Six Senses Spa deserves a special mention, as it is in a league of its own. Whether you choose to start the day with yoga overlooking the bay – or simply want to relax and recharge batteries – the spa will cater to your every whim. Therapists are happy to visit your villa if you would prefer (some villas even have private therapy rooms) and there is a vast selection of treatments to try.
This is a Six Senses resort, so it is little surprise that each of our senses was pampered and indulged over the course of our stay. The view is breathtaking, the scent of sweet figs in the air tempting, the feel of those spa treatments heavenly, the taste of the food simply irresistible, and the sound of the waves lapping the shore totally relaxing. But what’s the sixth sense? Foresight? After a couple of days at Zighy Bay, we knew for a fact that we would be back – so you can safely say that is covered too.
