Six Senses Zighy Bay Resort is located on the northern Musandam
Peninsula in the Sultanate of Oman. The setting of these beautiful
indigenous village-style accommodations and private marina is com-
pletely outstanding, with the dramatic mountains on one side and
the sandy beach of Zighy Bay on the other. The resort gives the feel-
ing of exciting remoteness, yet offers every comfort and easy accessi-
bility. Here you are able to say goodbye to the stresses of modern life
by escaping to another century on a classic Omani dhow. Inspired by
the word, dhahab, which means golden in Arabic, this handcrafted
vessel is reminiscent of the golden age of Arabian voyages as it cruises
the rugged Musandam fjords at a comfortable 10 knots.
Developed by Six Senses Zighy Bay and their team of specialist de-
signers, the private cruiser is furnished in a relaxed artisan style in
tune with its resort roots. Dhahab has the capacity hosts up to six
guests in three well-appointed cabins (one king and two twins), and
is perfect for families or a group of friends looking for something com-
pletely out of the ordinary. From bow to stern, the vessel offers all
the mod cons including an air-conditioned saloon, sun decks, dining
areas, cinema and large open galley. The crew, including a chef and
butler, ensure exceptional service levels throughout the odyssey.
Setting sail from the resort, Dhahab explores the coast of Musandam
where the Hajar Mountains tower over quaint fishing villages, stop-
ping to rest along the way in secluded bays bursting with marine life.
During the three-day, two-night personalized itinerary, time can be
spent kayaking, fishing, beach combing, swimming or doing abso-
lutely nothing. There are also options to take a cooking class with the
chef, book a bespoke dive or bring a spa therapist on board.
