Six Senses Hideaway Zighy Bay, Zighy Bay

Description

Tel: 968-26735-555

Part of the first luxury resort on Oman's Musandam Peninsula, Six Senses Hideaway, the spa is modeled after a sheikh's house and is set back from a mile-long white sand beach. Between hikes, scuba diving, paragliding, and four-wheel-drive expeditions, guests enjoy international rituals in nine treatment rooms, from Six Senses signature four-handed rubdowns ($135) to Arabian treatments using Dubai-made Shiffa rose extract products or ground rice, almonds, dates, and honey for masks and exfoliation mixtures. The resort operates on its own unofficial time zone, an hour ahead of Omani clocks, so set your watch to "Zighy Time" lest you miss your appointment (massages, $135–$151).
