Six Senses Zighy Bay: a superb resort in the middle of the surreal landscapes of Oman


Six Senses has unearthed an exceptional place for its resort in Oman, in an almost lunar landscape where the Hajar Mountains flow into the crystal clear bay of Zighy. We come there in 4×4 crossing the stone desert, and we sleep there in villas with swimming pool ultra comfort in traditional style. Here sport and well-being take on another dimension, mixing adventure and gentle care to find a beautiful balance, with tailor-made wellness programs.
