Zighy Bay Beach — Beach in Musandam, Oman

About Zighy Bay Beach

A 2 km secluded private beach nestled in a dramatic Musandam fjord bay, home to the Six Senses Zighy Bay — one of Arabia's most exclusive luxury resorts. Accessible by boat, 4WD descent or paraglider.

The beach is privately managed by Six Senses but day access is available to non-guests. The fjord setting with sheer limestone cliffs on three sides is unlike anything else in Oman.
