Just a 2.5-hour scenic drive from Dubai, Six Senses Zighy Bay invites guests to dive into a summer of slow living and marine discovery. With its new “Escape” offer now available, featuring 15% off stays and daily breakfast, there’s never been a better time to uncover the hidden treasures of the Musandam Peninsula, one of the region’s most captivating marine destinations.

From the moment guests step onto its soft, powdery beach, the call of the sea becomes irresistible. Days here unfold to the rhythm of the waves, whether snorkelling vibrant coral reefs, paddleboarding across transparent waters, or diving beneath the surface for a closer look at the aquatic life thriving in this plankton-rich sanctuary.

The bay’s marine biodiversity is remarkable, with healthy hard and soft coral gardens teeming with curious reef fish, rays, turtles, and even the occasional whale shark. For those eager to explore these pristine waters up close, the resort’s expert dive partner, Extra Divers, offers a full suite of experiences, from beginner-friendly try dives and open water certifications to advanced excursions into the more remote dive sites along the Musandam coast.

Above the surface, Zighy Bay’s signature dhow cruises offer a timeless way to explore the raw beauty of the Omani coastline. Drift through the calm waters of Haffa, Sanna’t, Lima, Charia, and Hamra, where dramatic cliffs meet secluded coves and the horizon stretches endlessly. Guests can set sail at sunset, sip chilled refreshments, and watch the sky turn gold over the Hajar Mountains, a moment of stillness that lingers long after the sun dips below the sea.

Whether kayaking through the bay, floating over shallow reefs, or venturing deeper with scuba diving, every aquatic encounter at Six Senses Zighy Bay is designed to be both soulful and sustainable. Marine life is celebrated here, and so too is the art of slow travel, with nature’s rhythms guiding each experience.

For those seeking to step away from the ordinary and into the extraordinary, the waters of Zighy Bay await. This summer, guests can make the most of the resort’s “Escape” offer, which includes 15% savings on the Best Flexible Rate, complimentary daily breakfast, and a two-course lunch for stays of two nights or more.
