HOTEL REVIEW<br />
Six Senses Zighy Bay is the idyllic beach resort<br />
you dream of getting away to. Modelled after a<br />
typical village, the resort comprises 82 villas<br />
built from crude rock in a square-shaped form.<br />
Check-in, sip a thirst-quenching date smoothie<br />
and jump on a buggy to head to your room. In<br />
each villa, the element of wood and stone is<br />
prevalent, with a neutral theme taking you from<br />
the living room, right through to the bedroom,<br />
bathroom in the far corner, outdoor rain<br />
showers, and cabana and private pool. The<br />
rustic-style villa also boasts reading material, a<br />
chess board/coffee table and the usual in-room<br />
amenities, including a pillow menu – the antisnore<br />
pillow is a must for your partner, if you<br />
suffer from interrupted sleep thanks to your<br />
other half. Most days are most likely to be spent<br />
by the pool, beach or at the lounge and bars.<br />
THE PREMISES<br />
While our stay was just for two nights, it’s not<br />
unusual for guests to stay a week or more. Our<br />
tour began on personalised push-bikes, parked<br />
right outside the villa, heading off to the outdoor<br />
infinity pool, lounge area, 2,500 square metre<br />
organic garden and the salt water pool. For an<br />
alternative to the gym, adventurous guests can get<br />
a workout in at the Jungle gym. Since we wanted<br />
to do nothing but unwind, we opted out of any<br />
strenuous activity and cooking classes, and chose<br />
to spend our days sunbathing. This getaway is one<br />
where you take in the beauty of every element of<br />
nature in your surroundings, breathe in fresh air<br />
and unwind with the sounds of bird chirping.<br />
