Day 1-6

ZIGHY BAY, Oman

Paraglide over ancient fishing villages, the rugged Al – Hajar Mountains and the Omani Fjords
Scuba dive in the emerald waters of the Musandam Peninsula to swim with turtles and stingrays

Stay seven nights in a private luxury villa in an Omani-style enclave, surrounded by sandy beach, rugged mountains and The Gulf of Oman.

Known as Oman’s hidden gem, Zighy Bay’s secluded location on Musandam Peninsula provides for the perfect location for a luxury retreat out of the ordinary. Stay five nights at The Six Senses, set on its own private beach flanked by the Al Aajar Mountains and surrounded by the emerald waters of the Gulf of Oman. Explore the area either soaring in the sky on a microlight over Miam Beach or even paragliding, enjoying a birds eye view of the mountains. For those who prefer their feet firmly on the ground, hike to the ancient Omani villages, farms and heritage sites among the mountains of Dibba to come across some historic archaeological discoveries. Cool off snorkelling or scuba diving in Peninsula’s coral reefs whose plankton rich waters attract turtles, stingrays and even whale sharks from January-March. In the evenings, enjoy the Spa or learn how to prepare a Mezze or Arabic Grill with an Omani cooking class before choosing from a selection of spectacular locations to enjoy a gourmet dinner. We recommend the Wine Tower, with panoramic views of the Fjords.

Day 6-8

OMAN FJORDS, Oman

Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch whilst mooring in a secluded rocky cove in the shadow of the Al Hajar Mountains
Watch dolphins play around the Dhahab Dhow as you sail into the sunset, sundowner in hand

Sail down the north of the Oman coastal fjords to fully experience this unique and magical landscape.

Set out to explore the Oman Fjords on the Six Senses luxury Dhahab Dhow during the day. The Dhow will cruise north down the coastal fjords, sailing by spectacular rock formations, rugged mountains and small fishing villages like Lima, Haffa’s and Chana. The dhow can moor in secluded coves and isolated beaches, where guests can enjoy a gourmet lunch with your own personal onboard chef and dive into the crystal clear waters to spot tropical coloured fish. Alternatively, set out on a kayak to get up close to the coastal rocks and their unique flora and fauna. This landscape becomes even more other-wordly as the sun begins to set. Dolphins will play around the bow of the traditional sailing boat as guests enjoy canapes and sundowners watching the Omani Fjords light up with the sunset, before sailing back to the Six Senses Zighy Bay.

The Palais de L’O was extremely comfortable with absolutely charming and very helpful staff. We had a lovely week, which ticked all the boxes, thank you so much for all your hard work. Also when I got home this afternoon, resting on top of the inevitable pile of bills was a parcel containing a lovely Garden Mint candle, thank you so much, what a lovely and much appreciated surprise
