Banyan Tree AlUla

Banyan Tree AlUla is a tranquil desert destination that offers a unique take on luxury in one of the world’s most remarkable locations. Situated in the heart of Saudi Arabia’s Ashar Valley, the resort is surrounded by expansive sand dunes, striking sandstone cliffs and distinctive rock formations, providing guests with a deep connection to the desert landscape. The resort features 47 tented villas, which draw inspiration from the nomadic heritage of Nabataean design, seamlessly blending into the natural environment. Options range from intimate one-bedroom villas with spacious outdoor living areas to larger two- and three-bedroom villas equipped with private pools that overlook the valley’s stunning terrain.

Attention to detail reflects the essence of the surroundings. The infinity rock pool offers a serene space for relaxation, while the Banyan Tree Spa provides treatments based on traditional Asian healing practices. Dining options include the signature Thai restaurant, Saffron, as well as other venues that highlight local culinary traditions. The resort prioritises sustainability, cultural respect and a personalised approach, creating an experience that is both luxurious and reflective of its unique setting.

Banyan Tree AlUla is structured around three key concepts designed to facilitate exploration of the area. In-villa experiences provide personalised comforts directly within guests’ accommodations, encompassing curated dining and customised wellness rituals. In-valley adventures allow guests to engage with the surrounding landscape through outdoor spa treatments, chef-led dining experiences and private events in breathtaking desert locations. En-voyage journeys offer unique insights into AlUla’s history, culture and community through guided tours, heritage experiences and outdoor activities such as hiking, camel rides and stargazing under the expansive desert sky.
