Stays
Our Habitas AlUla
Ninety-six rooms set in an ancient oasis, between sandstone cliffs and palm groves in the northwest of Saudi Arabia.
Located in the northwest of Saudi Arabia, Our Habitas AlUla is nestled among an ancient oasis in a desert valley, surrounded by spectacular sandstone cliffs and palm groves. Pathways lead up to one of 96 guest rooms, and on through to reception, a yoga deck, wellness and fitness centers, a restaurant, and a swimming pool. From above, the rooms read as a scatter of low roofs following the sand, not a hotel planted on it.
Every room is made from ethically sourced organic materials that blend into the natural surroundings, with minimal disruption and a sustainable programme meant to leave no trace on the environment. The architecture is the argument: stay the night, and try not to announce that you did.
The programming is the backbone of the stay. Six pillars — wellness, adventure, culture, learning, and food and beverage — are built as collaborations with the local culture and the landscape around the valley. Tama, the restaurant, is where the house comes together: an immersive culinary journey through time, with farm-to-table practices and sustainable agricultural methods. The food and beverage concept infuses Saudi and Middle Eastern cuisine, using local, fresh ingredients, including spices once traded along the incense route.
