No mere hotel, the Hideaway is a complex of luxury villas, patterned after a traditional Omani village.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set in a secluded Musandam cove, where rugged Hajar mountain switchbacks drop straight into the calm waters of the Gulf of Oman.
The rooms
Cobblestone-walled compounds conceal private plunge pools and outdoor showers, with cruiser bikes parked outside each villa for exploring the grounds.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa and gym
Nine treatment rooms open toward garden courtyards beside two Moroccan hammams. The fitness center looks out onto palm trees.
Restaurant
Sense on the Edge
Stone terraces cling to the mountain cliffs 293 meters above the bay, serving seasonal tasting menus by candlelight.
Nestled at the bottom of the towering Hajar mountains of the Musandam Peninsula, where azure bay waters meet the warm sands of a mile-long private beach, Six Senses Zighy Bay is an earthy oasis
At the table
Spice Market cooks regional dishes in a traditional mud kitchen, and Shua Shack serves lamb roasted in beachfront sand pits.
How it began
Built beside a tiny fishing hamlet in 2008, the resort channels a portion of its annual revenue into local village community projects.
