Mindful stargazing experiences

May 14, 2024 - Many of our resorts are immersed in nature and blessed with barely a hint of light pollution. Clear night skies in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the Maldives illuminate wonder and possibility as you realize gazing is good for you.

The sheer scale of space has the ability to instantly, deeply affect us as we contemplate our tiny lives amongst the ethereal magic of a vast star-spangled night sky. In the same way that we know being in nature is good for us on a cellular level, so is contemplating our existence by gazing upwards. 

Being immersed in the serene night sky is an opportunity to slow down, quiet your brain, and enter a state of mindfulness. With all your usual distractions removed and forgotten, you’re free to sink into a deeply meditative state, which can help you achieve a greater sense of perspective, boost your creativity, and improve your overall state of mind.

At Six Senses Kanuhura, we combine the wonders of stargazing with the calming practice of mindfulness meditation. We will guide you through a series of steps, starting with stargazing, transitioning into moonlight meditation, and culminating in a serene meditation supported by the soothing sounds of ocean waves blended with the vibrations of the Tibetan singing bowl.

Join another experience at Six Senses Zighy Bay aboard a traditional refurbished Dhahab boat. The daybeds on the upper deck and the captain’s deck provide the most picturesque platform for stargazing.

At Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea, our flagship Saudi Arabian resort, you can join a stargazing excursion guided by a local astrologer, sharing knowledge about the magical connection between stargazing, mindfulness, and inner peace.
