Six Senses Zighy Bay, Oman阿曼Zighy Bay六善酒店
Zighy Bay is located on the northern Musandam Peninsula in the Sultanate of Oman, with 82 village-inspired pool villas in a spectacular bay guarded by the dramatic Hajar Mountains.

The only thing blocking the horizon is the neighbouring Alps. Make full use of Palafitte's location by enjoying water activities in Switzerland's largest natural pool.
