Swimming among millennia-old rocks, sleeping in a wild luxury hotel in an ancient desert city

Located in the ancient environment of the Ashar Valley, the all-villa wild luxury resort is hidden in the 10,000 square meters of the Ashar Valley. Prehistoric rock art and futuristic villas converge here. Banyan Tree AlUla is a journey through time and space, a charming sanctuary suspended in time and space, and the first Banyan Tree resort to enter Saudi Arabia. Design Inspired by the natural environment of the Ashar Valley, AlUla Banyan Tree was designed by AW2 with a priority on preserving the natural beauty and rich heritage of the site. The unique desert environment between rock formations and ancient sites is integrated, and the buildings are hidden in the Ashar Valley in an environmentally friendly way. The independent tent clusters are almost seamlessly embedded in the Gobi Desert. Rooms The interior design creates a sense of indoor-outdoor unity, helping guests feel connected to nature. The hotel has 47 wild luxury tent suites, including one-bedroom villas, two-bedroom pool villas, and three-bedroom pool villas. Each villa starts at 77 square meters and features a panoramic terrace, allowing guests to lie down and enjoy the unobstructed natural beauty of the dunes and rock walls. Dining Alban all-day dining restaurant offers local Saudi specialties and international cuisine, while the signature Thai restaurant Saffron serves Thai delicacies and refreshing drinks. Special Pool The swimming pool is located in a natural fault between the rocks, reminiscent of the wadis that appear at the foot of cliffs when it rains. Experience immersive luxury spa unique to the Gobi Desert, with facades made of compacted sand and horizontal colored sand lines matching the rock formations in the background. The surrounding ancient rock walls make one feel like they are in a cave from thousands of years ago. Relax under the towering sandstone mountains, and as the day approaches dusk, soak in the pool and watch the golden scene unfold in the spectacular desert. Every moment is breathtaking.
