Six Senses Zighy Bay
Set between rugged mountains and a secluded beach, the retreat can be reached by road, by boat or, when the wind allows, by paraglider. Stone and timber buildings echo the character of a local village, blending so naturally into the landscape that they almost disappear when seen from the sea. Sandy paths wind between the suites and the main buildings, leading from bright, open stretches into the shade. The main pool sits beneath the date palms, with the feel of a desert oasis. Each of the eighty-two suites has its own pool, while earthy tones, locally made pottery and lanterns, raw timber and linen curtains give them the easy feel of a private home. The waters around the Musandam Peninsula are alive with marine life and well worth exploring below the surface. For dinner, Sense on the Edge is perched above the bay, serving a twelve-course menu that changes with the day’s catch and produce. Some evenings, the beach becomes an open-air cinema, with loungers, cushions and homemade popcorn beneath the stars.

What we like
The adventure
Sunset is the reward at the end of an off-road drive across the rocks of the Sabatyn Plateau.
The comfort
The Private Reserve – a rather modest name for such an extraordinary hideaway, set between the bay and the canyon.
The moment
At the Summer House, dinner begins with a stroll across the charming wooden bridge to the terrace.
