Six Senses Zighy Bay in Musandam Oman (1 other)

the hotel

At first glance, this doesn’t look like a hotel – it looks and feels like an authentic Omani village.

the room

… traditional Musandam dwellings, … The bathrooms are open plan and loft-like, each villa has its own swimming pool.

the restaurant

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.

the location

Situated on the northernmost tip of Arabia, on the Musandam Peninsula: a piece of the Sultanate of Oman separated from the rest of the country by the United Arab Emirates.

the pool

There are seventy nine different pool villas so you can really retreat into relaxation in a private area all your own. Yes, you read that correctly. Seventy nine pools.

the view

The landscape is as inhospitable as it is beautiful, and tantalising because it is so inaccessible. The country’s barren mountains drop precipitously into the blue waters of the Persian Gulf.
