Ideal for multi-generational family vacations, getaways with friends, or a very private escape, guests are invited to enjoy Six Senses Zighy Bay’s three-bedroom Retreats and premium four-bedroom Private Reserve this summer. Each palace of wonder provides comfort, seclusion, and masses of space with a touch of Arabian culture, all just a step and a splash away from the Gulf of Oman.
Tucked away at the tip of Zighy Bay between the tranquil Musandam Mountains and emerald sea, The Private Reserve is a four-bedroom villa equipped with a kitchen, a colossal living and dining space, and a recreation room featuring a snooker table, a private bar, and a cinema. At 32,292 square feet (3,000 square meters), the largest of its kind in the Middle East, it has four separate buildings serving as bedrooms within the enclave of the property – all with ensuite indoor and outdoor showers. An oversized infinity pool with a view that stretches right across the bay sits majestically in the front of the villa, with a private beach for you and your loved ones to enjoy. The Private Reserve comes with private quarters for a nanny or other dedicated host when required.
The Retreats were converted from two- to three-bedroom Omani-style villas and are located at each end of the beach. Measuring at 12,077 square feet (1,122 square meters), the villas provide ample social spaces, including a lounge, dining area with a private bar, indoor and outdoor living areas, and an infinity-edge pool with beachfront sunbeds, making it the perfect villa for special family reunions, celebrations with friends, or simply a weekend getaway luxuriating in one’s own company.
Inspired by the beauty of Zighy Bay, palm leaf and wicker designs are intricately crafted into the interiors. All three villas were tastefully fitted, giving them a modern take on their rustic design. From handwoven fabrics for cushions and throws to rugs and wall furnishings, each piece was handpicked by the team to add to the warmth of the room.
Six Senses Zighy Bay offers nothing less than serenity and authenticity, providing the perfect space to spend time with loved ones in a private setting. The resort’s design team has ensured the recently refurbished villas (which were complete in 2019) offer a home away from home feeling, ensuring each and every guest can create memories which last a lifetime.
The resort’s out-of-the-ordinary crafted experiences cater to guests of all ages. From the kids’ and teens’ club to an adventurous ride on the microlight plane, a spectacular scuba diving experience, or a wellness treatment in our Six Senses Spa, there’s something for everyone. A private chef can cook up a feast for the whole party in each villa using freshly harvested ingredients from the hotel’s Dibba farm and organic garden, which can be visited by guests during their stay.
On the sustainability front, the villas are bookable on a carbon-neutral rate, where a donation from every room night booked will be contributed to the Ay Yıldız Wind Power Project in Balıkesir, Turkey. The project generates sustainable electricity through wind power and feeds it back into the Turkish national grid, hence contributing to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Reductions by avoiding CO2 emissions caused by electricity generation from fossil fuel power plants.
These extrodinary villas are priced differently throughout the year, depending on the season. During the summer months, the Three Bedroom Beachfront Retreat starts at USD 6,000 and increases to USD 14,000 during the festive period. The Four Bedroom Beachfront Reserve is priced at USD 11,000 between June – August, and increases up to USD 20,000 between 20th December – 7th January
Guests will also receive complimentary airport transfers and daily breakfast when staying at either the Retreat or Reserve, inclusive of tax and service charges.a
