Aman Resorts
If you re already a fan of Aman Resorts you ll be pleased to know that the brand is making its Middle East debut in AlUla. Aman will develop three distinct resorts of architectural excellence. First up is a spa concept resort featuring 30 luxury tents, which is being developed within a secluded and tranquil mountain valley close to many of AlUla s main cultural and heritage areas. If a room with a view is your priority, you ll gravitate towards the second resort, which promises a coveted address surrounded by aweinspiring natural beauty. The third resort will have a desert ranch look and feel, with panoramic landscape vistas. Expect distinctive yet considered designs, but be prepared to wait: these resorts will welcome their first guests in 2023.
Sharaan Nature Resort By Jean Nouvel
Deep in a valley of the Sharaan Nature Reserve, an exciting new resort by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel is taking shape. While detailed plans for this newcomer are still under wraps, we do know that it‘ll place you deep inside the tranquil reserve. Furthermore, it will be a lesson in how modern architecture can coexist with nature and support sustainable development.
As Nouvel says: “AlUla is a museum. Every wadi and escarpment, every stretch of sand and rocky outline, every geological and archeological site deserves the greatest consideration.
It s absolutely vital we keep all its distinctiveness and conserve its attractiveness, which largely rests on its remote and occasionally archaic character. We have to safeguard a little mystery as well as the promise of discoveries to come.”
The resort will offer suites and villas, a number of restaurants and a summit centre. There will also be a collection of private villas for sale.
