Musandam in Oman (1 other)

Oman has emerged from its hermit shell, revealing a land of friendly people and dramatic landscapes peppered with forts. Although it remains, in many ways, the most traditional country in the region, it's often more outward looking than it's given credit for.

Mountain villages clutched against canyon walls, clusters of dates weighing heavy in the plantation oases, a ribbon of sand blown across the dunes, a lone camel padding across the limitless interior - these are the kinds of images afforded by the beautiful and enigmatic country of Oman.

    Situated on the northernmost tip of Arabia, on the Musandam Peninsula…

    At first glance, this doesn’t look like a hotel – it looks and feels like an authentic Omani village. Appropriate and authentic are the first words that come to mind. Zighy Bay is done in a style that adds powerfully to the experience, it capitalises on this sensation of splendid isolation.

    It’s all about creating a memorable experience, and to that extent Zighy Bay has gone to extraordinary lengths. Not only do the guest houses resemble traditional Musandam dwellings, but the raw, rugged simplicity of the style carries on in the interior and yet all the refinements guests expect are here also. The bathrooms are open plan, each villa has its own swimming pool, and there is a spa, three restaurants, two bars and a tasting cellar.

    Zighy Bay is a spectacle, a raw, rugged magnificent spectacle.

    • There are 3 restaurants - one of them called Dining On the Edge is perched on the very top of the jagged stone peaks that surround the bay, it is literally on the edge – of a thousand-odd drop to the bay below.
