Senses on the Edge, situated atop a mountain, not only provides breathtaking bay views but also serves a mouth-watering five- or seven-course menu with wines from the restaurant’s cellar (open three days a week; reservation required; no entry for children under seven; smart casual dress code). For a romantic experience, there's a weekly traditional Bedouin dinner on the beach with organic salads and oven-cooked lamb enjoyed on cushions and low couches.

The villas are designed in the style of a traditional Omani village, incorporating abundant natural materials, and are equipped with modern amenities. These include a TV with DVD and music system, comprehensive tea and coffee-making facilities, a minibar, a separate wine minibar, air conditioning, and a safe. The bathrooms offer both indoor and outdoor showers, a bath, and a hairdryer.
We loved every minute of our stay at Zighy Bay. We had a beach pool villa which was incredibly spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. There was a pillow menu to choose from which was great and we were assigned a Guest Experience Manager for anything else we needed. The food was brilliant and the staff and chefs went out of their way to cater for me as a vegetarian. The resort lays on different nights at their Spice Market restaurant which keeps things interesting because it means the menu changes regularly. Indian night was a highlight! Breakfast was also great and we loved being able to order whatever we wanted to our private terrace as part of our half-board option.
Last but definitely not least, the staff were absolutely outstanding - nothing was too much trouble.

Een heerlijke reis gehad, heel aardige mensen, hopelijk een kilootje verloren en in ieder geval weer meer energie opgedaan! Wel heb ik een paar puntjes, die ik toch vermeld, aangezien jullie er mogelijk iets aan hebben. Bij aankomst kreeg je geen uitleg of papiertje wat je kan eten. Slechts water en decaf/kruiden thee. Ook geen overige sapjes (zoals komkommer?). Ik zag op internet dat de 5-daagse detox van Jason Vale met slechts sapjes is, hier kregen voor ontbijt sap, lunch salade, diner soep. Bij aankomst stond heel vriendelijk een ontvangst bordje met heerlijke koekjes en dadels. Fantastisch, maar niet zo handig met de detox.... Het health consult was een lifestyle consultant, gericht op onder meer reiki en coaching. De uitstraling van het hotel is heel ecologisch. ik vond e.e.a. wel duur.

Na een half jaar wonen en werken in India, was dit een heerlijke stop onderweg terug naar Nederland om de herrie en stoffigheid van India achter me te laten en me klaar te stomen voor Nederland.
