The remote and rugged location, combined with the impressive sweeping beach really do make it an Imagine favourite. You can even paraglide into the resort on arrival!
All of the villas have private plunge pools and combine modern comforts with traditional Omani style. None of the villas are too far from the beach, but for an ocean view and direct access to the beach we suggest staying in the ‘Beachfront Pool Villas’. For a special celebration or family get together enjoy the privacy of the two bedroom Retreats or the four bedroom Reserve which are the perfect place to host an in-villa BBQ.
With four excellent restaurants to choose from, guests are spoilt for choice. We highly recommend splashing out and having dinner at the 'Sense on the Edge’, which is an award-winning mountain top dining venue, located 293 metres above sea level. Another great option is the 'Shua Shack' which offers a traditional Bedouin communal dining experience with traditional under sand cooking.
The resort has a large central swimming pool with a poolside service offering snacks, drinks and ice cream. The Spa, operated by Six Senses, offers nine treatment rooms and has a full range of treatments so is the perfect place to unwind after a day in the sun. There are non-motorised water sports on offer, a library with a wide selection of movies, DVDs, books and magazines and a fully equipped gym.
The choice of activities is endless, such as trekking and mountain biking to diving and sunset boat trips. There is also an excellent kids club and experienced babysitters, so it is a great place for families.
Zighy Bay is ideal for those wanting a more peaceful experience than the hustle of Dubai and can be combined easily with stopovers to the Indian Subcontinent and the Maldives.
When to go
The best time to visit Oman is between November and mid-March, when the cooler air brings the mountain scenery sharply into focus and daytime temperatures average 25°C. For the rest of the year, much of Oman is oppressively hot and hazy, particularly between May and August.
