AlUla, Saudi Arabia - Nestled amidst the majestic sandstone formations sculpted over millions of years, Banyan Tree AlUla stands as a luxury sanctuary in the heart of the archaeological region of AlUla in northwestern Saudi Arabia. This top-tier tourist destination offers a unique experience where natural beauty merges with contemporary luxury.

The adventure begins the moment we arrive at AlUla Airport and embark on an exciting caravan of SUVs that takes us to this oasis of elegance in the middle of the desert. The resort, which currently boasts 70 tents, presents itself to us as a collection of large tents that seamlessly blend with the sands and imposing rocks that characterize the region.

Upon checking in at the hotel's front desk, we are amazed by the comfort and luxury that await us. Golf carts transport us to our tents, which are, in reality, 5-star accommodations with every imaginable convenience, including a private pool in each one. Furthermore, a large pool carved among the rocks offers an unparalleled view of the region.

The concept of glamping (glamorous camping) comes to life at Banyan Tree AlUla, where guests can enjoy life in tents in the Arabian style but with all the luxuries of a high-end hotel. The experience becomes even more exceptional when we discover that, with just an internal phone call, the transportation service arrives to take us to the reception or restaurants, making every moment truly extraordinary.

Glamping, which combines nature and comfort, offers a range of accommodations from the one-bedroom Dune villa to the three-bedroom Dune villa with a pool. These spaces are elegantly decorated with antiques inspired by AlUla's heritage and feature amenities such as Wi-Fi, television, a mini stereo system, bathtub, bathrobes and slippers, a minibar, a study area, a fire pit, a terrace, and air conditioning, among others.

The resort also features a rock pool, a body of water nestled among the sandstone mountains of the Ashar Valley, a wellness center, and two dining options: the exclusive Thai restaurant Saffron by Banyan Tree and local cuisine at Harrat.

Located just 15 km from Hegra, the first site declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Saudi Arabia, Banyan Tree AlUla aligns with the strategic master planning vision for AlUla and Saudi Vision 2030. The resort's design prioritizes the preservation of the region's natural beauty and rich heritage while supporting the nation's long-term tourism, cultural, and economic goals.

The eco-friendly approach is reflected in the resort's "light touch" design, which aims to seamlessly integrate with the natural landscape of the Ashar Valley. Sustainable structures, reminiscent of local rocks, minimize the resort's footprint, and sandy trails allow guests to approach nature responsibly.

Banyan Tree AlUla serves as the perfect gateway to explore Saudi Arabia's cultural and natural richness. With easy access from several major airports, this luxury oasis offers a unique experience that combines the grandeur of the natural surroundings with the comfort and service of a world-class hotel. If you seek an adventure filled with beauty and luxury in the midst of the desert, Banyan Tree AlUla is the ideal place to make it a reality.
