Aman has announced that it will develop three distinct new resorts in AlUla, North West Saudi Arabia, with a projected opening of 2023.
This development will encompass a tented camp, a sublime resort close to AlUla’s spectacular heritage areas, and a ranch-style desert resort nestled in an otherworldly setting.
The vast area of AlUla covers 22,561sq km, and includes a lush oasis valley, towering sandstone mountains and ancient cultural heritage sites dating back thousands of years.
The partnership agreement was signed by Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Culture, the Governor of the Royal Commission for AlUla His Highness Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Mohammad bin Farhan Al Saud, and Chairman and CEO of Aman Mr Vladislav Doronin, marking the brand’s first entry to Saudi Arabia and the region.
“Many of our existing Aman destinations are located in areas of outstanding natural beauty and rich history,” explains Chairman and CEO of Aman, Mr Vladislav Doronin. “With the addition of spectacular AlUla, this take us to 10 properties situated near or in UNESCO Heritage Sites, making it a fitting location for our first destination in the Middle East.”
“Aman is committed to preserving this archaeological wonder with our resorts that will blend into the dramatic surroundings. As part of Aman’s pathfinder spirit, we have a continued mission not only to curate resorts of architectural distinction, but to seek out and introduce our guests to new destinations and experiences.”
