Six Senses Zighy Bay: The Most Dramatic Hotel Arrival in the World
You paraglide in. Seriously.
The Six Senses Zighy Bay occupies a bay in Oman accessible only by sea, by 4WD over a mountain pass, or by paraglider. The hotel offers all three options on arrival — the paraglider is the one worth choosing.

The tandem paraglider launches from a ridge at 1,200 metres above the Gulf of Oman. Below: a bay of turquoise water, a crescent of beach, and 82 stone-and-wood villas scattered up the hillside behind it. The descent takes eight minutes. It is the finest hotel check-in procedure in the world, and it costs nothing extra.
The Wellness Programme
Six Senses is the finest wellness brand in luxury travel: its Sleep programme — three nights minimum — addresses sleep quality with the seriousness of a medical intervention, using sleep trackers, cooling mattress technology, personalised supplements, and evening treatments calibrated to individual needs. The improvement in sleep quality by night three is, for most guests, measurable and significant.
“Guests consistently describe the improvement in sleep quality by night three as noticeable — the kind of change you feel rather than one you need a chart to see.”
