Banyan Tree has launched its first property in historical city of AlUla in Saudi Arabia, which also marks its debut in the country. Slated to open in October 2022, the all-villa, tented resort draws inspiration from Nabataean architecture.
The fundamental principles of the resort are designed around three concepts that allow guests to immerse themselves in the resort and the destination:
- "In-villa" provides guests with custom offerings created by the cast of Banyan Tree hosts
- "In-valley" takes guests on exclusive outdoor treatments, nomadic chef’s tables, active adventures and private events staged in spectacular settings
- "En-voyage" brings guests through privileged immersions crafted with local talents; bespoke well-being and adventure excursions show a glimpse of the ancient landscapes of AlUla and the lives of the people who call it home.
In addition, the resort will house two dining venues, including Saffron, Banyan Tree’s signature Thai restaurant. The Banyan Tree Spa will welcome guests with curated wellness experiences that offer a fusion of Asian traditions and local elements.
“We are thrilled to launch Banyan Tree in the beautiful valley of AlUla in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Founded in 6th century BC, AlUla is filled will so much history and we are honored to be part of its heritage efforts,” said Eddy See, president and chief executive officer, Banyan Tree Group.
