SAUDI ARABIA – NEOM, the developers of Saudi futuristic city, has announced the opening of Sindalah, a luxury resort destination on Red Sea and the first physical showcase of NEOM.
Located atthe beach of the Red Sea, 5 km off the NEOM coastline in northwest Saudi Arabia, Sindalah is a distinctive, luxury resort destination spread over 840,000 sq m.
Ideally positioned 17 hours by sea from key Mediterranean destinations, Sindalah will serve as NEOM’s gateway to the Red Sea, providing easy access for European, Saudi and GCC yacht owners.
First announced by HRH Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Chairman of the NEOM Board of Directors in December 2022, Sindalah’s opening marks an exciting milestone in NEOM’s progress.
Transforming Sindalah – from idea to reality – marks a significant step in realising the kingdom’s tourism ambitions under Saudi Vision 2030 and reaffirms NEOM’s ability to conceive and deliver new and exciting destinations.
Sindalah blends the island’s natural beauty with tech-driven design and architectural excellence. Masterfully designed by leading yachting architecture firm Luca Dini, Sindalah offers world-class restaurants, hotels, venues, and experiences.
Set to welcome up to 2,400 guests per day by 2028, the island will also generate around 3,500 jobs, helping to drive the ongoing development of the kingdom’s thriving hospitality and tourism industries. This will, in turn, support the diversification of the economy in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
“NEOM is committed to supporting the kingdom’s new era of luxury tourism, with the opening of Sindalah,” CEO Nadhmi Al Nasr said.
“The realization of this landmark destination, the gateway to the Red Sea, is due to the visionary leadership of HRH Mohammed bin Salman and Saudi Vision 2030.”
Boasting an impressive marine ecosystem, Sindalah’s surrounding waters are home to 1,100 species of fish—45 of which are unique to NEOM waters—and more than 300 coral species.
In line with NEOM’s commitment to sustainability and conservation, preservation of Sindalah’s natural marine habitat has been central to the island’s development. Guests are invited to dive beneath the surface to explore its wonders for themselves.
With its strategic location and pleasant year-round climate, Sindalah’s state-of-the-art 86-berth marina will usher in a new sailing season.
The Sindalah Yacht Club, with interiors expertly designed by Stefano Ricci, is the marina’s focal point and invites yachting guests, owners, and crew to enjoy its amenities.
Docking facilities, additional offshore buoys for super yachts and a full suite of yacht management services are also available.
