Banyan Tree AlUla: A Journey Into The Tranquil Wilderness

Discover Banyan Tree AlUla, the luxurious resort nestled amongst the tranquility and timeless beauty of the Saudi Arabian desert

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. Framed by ancient rock formations, the hotel is less resort, more architectural marvel, drawing its inspiration from the rugged beauty of its vast desert setting.

Guests are invited to explore this once-in-a-lifetime location, where both history and nature are imperceptibly intertwined, to discover its unique blend of contemporary luxury that captivates the senses. Unlike any other getaway, guests can discover a profound sense of peace among the rolling landscape, with each space deftly curated to ensure every moment feels like an intimate experience. The architectural build of the resort is a tribute to the region’s majestic rocky vistas, with each villa serving as a private sanctuary set against the dramatic canyon walls.

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. 

To unwind body and soul, the region’s ancient healing traditions are brought to life in the soothing sanctuary of the Banyan Tree Spa. The spa offers treatments that go far beyond the physical, each designed to heal the mind and ensure deep relaxation. The enigmatic essence of the desert is distilled into every massage to create a sensory experience, delivering total relaxation and quiet reflection time post-treatment.

This serene retreat prides itself in creating special moments that last a lifetime, from bespoke events to romantic dinners beneath the stars, and the enchanting setting never fails to captivate. An experience like no other—Banyan Tree AlUla truly connects with the soul.
