The all villa desert resort will open next month
Banyan Tree will open its first property in Saudi Arabia in October 2022 with the launch of a new resort in the kingdom’s historical AlUla region.
An emerging destination for luxury travellers offering a mix of history, culture and entertainment, AlUla is a desert backdrop dating back millions of years.
Inspired by the nomadic nature of Nabataean architecture, the all villa, tented resort reflects Banyan Tree's commitment to referencing local influences.
