In the heart of northwest Saudi Arabia, NEOM, the sustainable regional development, continues to unfold its vision for a vibrant and eco-conscious future. The recent announcement of Leyja, a captivating tourism destination, adds another layer to NEOM’s commitment to sustainable development and cultural preservation. This latest addition not only enriches the Kingdom’s ecotourism offerings but also aligns seamlessly with Saudi Vision 2030, aiming to transform the nation into a thriving tourist hub.
Leyja, nestled within NEOM, unfolds its allure from the Gulf of Aqaba coast, winding inland to reveal a mesmerizing natural valley surrounded by 400m-high mountains, shaped by centuries of natural forces. Rooted in history and mythology, Leyja offers more than just a scenic escape; it provides an immersive experience that respects and celebrates the landscape’s inherent beauty.
A pivotal aspect of Leyja’s development is its commitment to environmental preservation. Reflecting NEOM’s broader strategy, 95% of Leyja’s land will be preserved for nature, emphasizing a harmonious coexistence between human innovation and the natural world. The three intelligently designed hotels stand as testaments to this commitment, blending seamlessly with the surroundings while offering distinct experiences.
Active Adventure Retreat
The first property caters to adventure seekers, with a deconstructed design that ascends the wadi’s walls like a staircase. Its strategic location allows for activities like rock climbing, providing an adrenaline rush amidst breathtaking natural scenery.
Gateway to Discovery
The second property rises majestically at the heart of the wadi’s oasis, serving as a gateway to exploration. With an impressive staircase offering panoramic views, it invites guests to discover the valley’s beauty beyond its walls.
Immersive Wellness Oasis
The third property is a wellness retreat designed to promote longevity. Its reflective façade mirrors the natural surroundings, allowing the wadi to pass through its center, creating a unique and interactive experience for visitors.
Leyja promises a diverse array of experiences, ranging from fine dining by world-renowned chefs to contemporary restaurants. The wellness facilities, rooftop infinity-style pools, and extensive guided wadi walks enhance the overall guest experience. Adventure enthusiasts can indulge in mountain biking and climbing, capitalizing on the dramatic mountain landscapes that define the valley.
Leyja joins NEOM’s roster of flagship regions, each contributing to the comprehensive vision of sustainable development. From Sindalah’s luxury island to THE LINE’s cognitive linear city, Trojena’s mountain destination, and Oxagon’s reimagined industrial city, NEOM is reshaping the landscape of tourism and industry in the region.
