2013 Sailing Arabia will again Port in Zighy Six Senses Zighy Bay announces its third collaboration with Oman Sail’s EFG Bank Sailing Arabia – the Tour 2013. Starting from Manama, Bahrain and ending in Muscat, Oman, the route will traverse the Arabian Peninsula with Six Senses Zighy Bay as the first stop entering Oman. Touring through four nations and seven marinas, the regatta sails over 1,408 kilometres in only 15 days, modelled after the internationally renowned Tour de France à la Voile, one of the world’s most famous offshore sailing events. EFG Bank Sailing Arabia – The Tour, was established by Oman Sail in 2011 to promote one of the region’s fastest growing sports and reignite the Gulf’s rich maritime heritage. Six Senses Zighy Bay will host the sailors and crew from Thursday, 21st February until departure from port on Saturday, 23rd February, 2013. The stopover culminates with an in-port race and prize-giving event directly on the beach of the resort in true Omani hospitality. General Manager Axel Jarosch raves, “The leg from Ras al Khaimah to Zighy Bay is one of the toughest of the race. We are privileged to welcome the fleet closer to home, and what better place than in the midst of the Musandam’s breathtaking landscape and unparalleled luxury of Six Senses. We are all very excited, and all eyes will be looking to the spinnakers at the finish line on our doorstep.”
Exploratory Drouhin Wine Dinner On Tuesday, 4th December, an adults-only, progressive dining experience was hosted at the resort. A delectable wine pairing and dinner awaited guests, including a four course meal, with the finale seated at outside garden of the Retreat. Beginning in the Organic Garden with an aperitif of Domaine Drouhin's Chablis Vaudon and paired with canapés, guests were next escorted to the GCC's only saltwater pool for a smoked sheary fish panacotta starter, a late-harvest inspired first course of corn-fed chicken terrine, leading up to a stewed-veal navarin main course and passion fruit crème brûlée with tamarind salsa dessert.
