Nestled in the heart of the AlUla desert, the Banyan Tree AlUla resort is where the journey to discover the heart and soul of Saudi Arabia really begins.

The resort offers endless personally-tailored experiences; mornings can be spent exploring the ancient wonders of the beautiful Hegra, a UNESCO World heritage site, while in the afternoon, guests can enjoy the Maraya Concert Hall—a striking structure showcasing an artful array of mirrors that reflect the never ending views of warm desert dunes. For adventurous guests, these wild landscapes can also be explored with an exclusive helicopter ride.
As the sun sets in AlUla, the horizon provides magical tones of pink and orange, with guests able to watch the sun set and observe the starry constellations that flood the skies. These memorable moments are complemented by exquisite culinary experiences; from Thai cuisine to local delicacies, as extraordinary as the views.
