Six Senses Zighy Bay

(Hand-picking dates for dinner)

There's dining and there's responsible dining, and in Oman, Six Senses Zighy Bay has taken a socially responsible approach to culinary innovations that feature on new menus being introduced at the resort’s restaurants, Summer House and Spice Market. Embracing the farm-to-table approach, the culinary team has crafted a menu incorporating organic, seasonal ingredients and seafood sourced from local farmers and fishermen. This ensures the integrity of the produce and supports the local community while at the same time, it reduces the resort’s carbon footprint by minimizing food miles.

Summer House introduces a bistro style menu, including a new grill section featuring Omani lobster tail, grilled king prawns and Sous Chef Mohan's special of the day, which will focus on combining local seafood and produce for a flavorsome epicurean experience. Open for lunch and dinner, guests can choose an indoor or al fresco dining setting, perfect in the cooler months, with a tranquil garden backdrop and fresh sea breeze.

The resort has an extensive organic garden which provides produce for use in dishes on the menu. Additionally, Spice Market introduces a breakfast menu featuring a hot dish selection. Breakfast has been regarded as the most important meal of the day, a claim that Executive Chef Richard Lee also believes, “A healthy breakfast provides our body with the nutrients that we need to stay energized and focused throughout day. It’s one of the most important ways to balance our lives.”

The Middle Eastern themed Spice Market has taken inspiration from homegrown specialties to offer more varieties to the menu. Arabic Chef Mohammad Abukhadra takes guests on a gourmet journey through the region, with varieties of hot and cold mezze, lentil tajine and cumin and coriander coated duck breast including a special dessert of Zighy date crème brûlée. Dishes are prepared in the traditional mud kitchen for guests to enjoy in the relaxed ambience of the authentically accented interiors.

Six Senses Zighy Bay is located on the northern Musandam Peninsula in the Sultanate of Oman. The setting of 82 village-inspired pool villas is a spectacular bay, guarded by the dramatic Hajar Mountains and private sandy beach.

Guests have a diverse selection of memorable dining experiences from Sense on the Edge, a contemporary fine dining with spectacular views, to regional specialties at the Shua Shack and Spice Market, plus a Wine Cellar. More details....
