Luxury Zighy Bay Holidays

Nestled between the bare peaks of the Hajar mountains and the smooth sands of a pretty private beach, it would be hard to find a more dramatic setting for a luxury resort than that enjoyed by Zighy Bay.

Set in Musandam Province in northern Oman, an area notable for its khors or rocky coves, traditional villages and mountain scenery, this is a delightfully different destination.

All the villas and retreats have their own private pools, but there is also a central saltwater pool for buoyant bathing, and a spa with two Arabic-style hammams and a range of relaxing treatments.

Sustainability is taken seriously, and the resort has its own organic garden, where ingredients for the restaurants are grown. Meals are a treat, whether you choose to enjoy the fine French-influenced cuisine in the mountaintop restaurant or Bedouin dining on the sands. There is even a private cinema, where guests can tuck into popcorn and watch their favourite films under the stars
