What kind of luxury desert hotel is Aman Resorts opening in Saudi Arabia?
The Saudi desert resort – Aman’s first Middle East property – will be Aman’s 10th property located near or inside a Unesco Heritage Site, while plans are afoot for a Bangkok hotel in the century-old tropical gardens of Nai Lert Park
Aman Resorts International will open a hotel in Saudi Arabia in 2023, its first venture to the Middle East. In partnership with the Royal Commission for Al-`Ula, one of three projects will be a desert resort with a tented camp element in the 22,000-square-kilometre region of Al-`Ula, the location of the Al-Hijr archaeological site, in a lush valley with soaring sandstone mountains and a vivid history as the home of the ancient civilisation of the Nabataean people.
Aman says the location’s “natural and human heritage” complements its commitment to eco-tourism, discovery and tranquillity. It will be the 10th Aman located near or inside a Unesco Heritage Site.
Aman will also return to Thailand in 2022. The brand is working with Nai Lert Group to manage a hotel and residence in the capital Bangkok, its second Thai property after Amanpuri in Phuket. The hotel will be located in the century-old tropical gardens of Nai Lert Park.
