It’s so easy, once again, to fly to Dubai. After seeing what’s new there, The Museum of The Future and things like that, treat yourself to the lasting memory of Zighy Bay, two hours’ drive away.

Six Senses Zighy Bay takes to the seas for its latest out-of-the-ordinary escapade. The recently refurbished Dhahab – meaning gold in Arabic – now offers one- or two-night voyages for the ultimate sea-hotel adventure.

Ideal for multi-generational family vacations, getaways with friends, or a very private escape, renovations are complete on the three-bedroom Retreats and premium four-bedroom Private Reserve at Six Senses Zighy Bay.

Question. How does a new boss arrive on the job? It would have been tempting for Gauderic Harang, just-appointed GM of Six Senses at Zigby Bay on the Musandam Peninsula of Oman, to have arrived by paraglider. This is, after all, arguably the only eco-resort anywhere that has a final approach over 1,000 metre-high pale-sand-coloured Hajjar mountains, barren here but, not too far away, offering green rainforest areas. Come in by standard four-by-four – or paraglide for momentary, and forever lasting, glory.

Six Senses Zighy Bay is renowned for its out-of-the-ordinary escapade, and the Dhahab – meaning gold in Arabic – is a singular experience designed for the ultimate sea-hotel adventure. The 27.5-metre vessel features one stateroom and two cabins with private bath facilities and can accommodate six people.

Nothing says family time more than a secluded getaway with your nearest and dearest, and Six Senses Zighy Bay is ready to welcome the largest of families to their own private resort within a resort.
