NEOM, Saudi Arabia’s audacious blueprint for a brighter future, unveiled its dazzling crown jewel today: Leyja. This latest touristic gem reinforces Saudi Arabia’s rising prominence in sustainable tourism and catapults it to a league of its own.
Nestled within NEOM’s visionary expanse, Leyja is an ode to both the past and the future. With its origins rooted deeply in the enchanting waters of the Gulf of Aqaba, this pristine sanctuary stretches inland to unveil a mesmerizing valley. This natural spectacle, sculpted meticulously by nature’s forces over aeons, is hemmed in by monumental mountains that soar up to 400 meters.
The adventure hotel in Leyja NEOM is the latest sustainable tourism destination.
With an unflinching commitment to sustainability, 95% of Leyja is consecrated as a testament to nature’s splendour. This aligns seamlessly with NEOM’s overarching strategy, earmarking most of its lands as nature reserves. Leyja’s essence is to harmoniously meld innovative ecological design with its untouched surroundings, resulting in a fusion of history, luxury, and sustainability.
The triad of exquisite hotels, conceptualized by the globe’s architectural maestros, encapsulates the spirit of Leyja. Housing 120 meticulously designed boutique rooms and suites, these havens are tailored for the discerning traveller.
- The first, an adventurer’s dream, seamlessly blends with the wadi’s rugged terrains. Its innovative design, reminiscent of a meandering staircase, is a clarion call to adrenaline enthusiasts yearning for rock climbing and more.
- The second hotel, an emblem of splendour, rises like a phoenix at the heart of the Wadi’s most extensive oasis. Its majestic staircase, a prelude to the enchantments within, promises sweeping panoramas of the verdant valley.
- Finally, the third property is the epitome of tranquillity, a sanctuary designed for rejuvenation. Its reflective façade, mirroring the sublime beauty of the wadi, offers a meditative journey that intertwines with nature’s pulse.
Beyond the architectural wonders, Leyja promises a plethora of curated experiences. From culinary delights crafted by renowned chefs to rejuvenating wellness centres and infinity pools that blur the lines between man-made luxury and nature’s grandeur. Adventure beckons at every corner, with guided walks, hiking trails, mountain biking, and climbing, all set against Leyja’s dramatic backdrop.
This announcement follows on the heels of NEOM’s other groundbreaking ventures, including Sindalah, THE LINE, Trojena, and Oxagon. Together, they herald a new chapter for Saudi Arabia and visionary, sustainable tourism worldwide.
