Tucked away in a secluded fishing village, Zighy Bay is the ultimate ‘sui generis' resort.

Basking on the cusp of the Musandam Peninsula the Six Senses Hideaway offers the kind of privacy and exclusivity other five star resorts often lay claim to, but rarely deliver.

Even the initial entry into the resort is personalised to suit the desires of each individual  guest, who are invited to choose between three arrival experiences. These include; an intrepid drive through the narrow, makeshift road recently carved into the dramatic mountains which loom over the bay; a 15 minute speed boat ride or, for the most adventurous of guests, a descent by paraglide with one of Zighy's professionals at the helm.

Whatever your mode of entry, upon reaching the resort you'll find everything is far more serene.
Zighy Bay comprises 82 pool villas, some of which open out directly on to the shoreline, offering private access to the 1.6km of sandy beach which encompasses the entire retreat.

Each villa boasts its own private pool, sundeck and personalised butler service and while this exudes all the indulgence you'd expect from a Six Senses resort, the rooms are dressed with much more earthy accessories, in fitting with the more simplistic way of life of the village's local inhabitants.

The villas themselves have been built using authentic stone from the surrounding mountains, allowing for a harmonious blend between the resort and its natives.

The resort offers four different dining options, including In-Villa Dining where you can enjoy a private barbecue beneath the stars.

For a lunchtime treat head to The Deli - the resort's open air, café-style eaterie which prides itself on dishing up organic produce. Alternatively, there is Dining On The Sand where a seat at the private Chef's Table will serve up a host of Arabic, Asian and Continental cuisines to please your palate.

But the pièce de résistance of Zighy's dining options has to be Sense On The Edge. Perched on the tip of one of the rugged mountains which envelop the resort, this restaurant is a truly unique dining experience. Book your table for around dusk and take in the picturesque Omani sunset which acts as a stunning backdrop to some of the Middle East's most breathtaking views.

Six Senses is renowned the world over for its relaxation ethic, and nowhere exemplifies this more than Zighy Bay.

What better way to unwind than a massage at Six Senses Spa? The Spa offers nine treatment rooms as well as a juice bar and two Arabian Hammams, to add a touch of centuries-old tradition.

The menu consists of local and signature treatments, all focusing on holistic wellness and rejuvenation programmes meaning you'll leave Zighy Bay feeling refreshed and revived.
