Six Senses Zighy Bay

Great resort and services. Friendly staff

We had a fantastic stay at Ziggy Bay. We have stayed at luxury 5 star hotels and resorts across the world and Ziggy bay truly differentiated itself through its AMAZING service, focus on wellness, and vast number of activities making it a great place to spend a few nights whether you want to relax, or be a bit More adventurous (they had over 100 activities to choose from!) Outside the beautiful landscape – mountain tops, sandy beach, incredibly ocean water visibility and warmth - Ziggy Bay differentiated itself through their team. Each guest is paired with a personal GEM – which is effectively a butler who will handle every element of your trip. Ours was Lucia and she was absolutely fantastic making the trip exceptional. I also want to call Alex from water sports and Julia the front office manager. We have stayed at many resorts across the world, and I was blown away with the member of activities Ziggy offered. Everything from paragliding which we did upon arrival with the wonderful Ido, to a private catamaran, to massages and meditation. As mentioned above, Ziggy has a phenomenal wellness program and they even have practitioners from all over the world to come in We were also really impressed with the food offering. Sense on the edge of a must meal, which is their pinnacle restaurant. Finally, a special thank you to Julia the front office manager. We had a small issue with our trip and they went above and beyond to make it right. It’s a Testament to their hospitality and commitment to make sure their guest leaves incredibly happy which we certainly did. Definitely go to Ziggy Bay for a getaway from Dubai or wherever you are. It is promising to be a luxurious, low-key, adventure filled, relaxing, and great food, and most importantly great people based experience.

I don’t usually write reviews of any kind, but I feel compelled to share my experience after my recent stay (17 to 25 September 2025) at Six Senses Resort Zighy Bay, Oman. Apart from its breathtakingly beautiful location, comfortable and well-appointed accommodations, and an array of interesting and adventurous activities, I was most impressed by the impeccable service, helpful staff, and commitment to sustainability. First of all, I would like to thank my GEM (guest experience maker), Marta, a lovely, polite, and very helpful young lady who was always on hand to assist and attuned to my needs without ever making me feel overwhelmed. I also had the pleasure of meeting the resort’s Assistant Sustainability Manager, Maher Alriyami (I hope I have his name right), who very kindly took the time to meet with me when I expressed my interest in learning more about the resort’s sustainability projects. As an animal lover and long-time TNR (trap-neuter-release) volunteer, I was deeply impressed by the resort’s initiatives toward animal welfare and the humane care extended to animals in need. My stay at Six Senses became even more special knowing that I was in a place where both people and animals are genuinely cared for, creating a sense of harmony and tranquility throughout the environment. The culinary experiences were equally memorable. I had a most wonderful Arabic cooking lesson with the chef at the Spice Market, which was both engaging and delicious. Breakfast was a real highlight: a generous spread combining buffet selections with made-to-order dishes. As someone who considers herself a bit of a croissant and pastries connoisseur, I must admit their croissants and Nutella cruffins were to die for—my compliments to the pastry chef. On the morning of my departure, at 4:30 am (well before breakfast service began), Marta thoughtfully prepared boiled eggs and a box of pastries for me to enjoy during the nearly three-hour trip to the airport, as well as to share with my husband at home (who unfortunately could not accompany me). Such attention to detail truly touched me. I would also like to thank Frida (at the Summer House), Lorna (at the Spice Market), and Yusef (at the Earth Lab), who all went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. Their warmth and professionalism truly reflect the heart of the resort. That said, I do feel it’s worth noting that some menu items are significantly overpriced. For example, a simple bowl of Greek yogurt with one sliced banana, some berries, and almonds was priced at OMR 18 (about USD 48). While I understand that luxury resorts often carry premium pricing, this particular example felt excessive and somewhat at odds with the otherwise thoughtful and balanced approach of the resort. Overall, however, my experience at Six Senses Zighy Bay was unforgettable. The combination of stunning natural beauty, exceptional staff, and genuine commitment to sustainability makes it a very special destination that I would highly r
