Look: Saudi’s NEOM unveils Zardun, an eco-resort with ultra-luxury hotels

Luxury ecotourism in Saudi Arabia takes center stage with Zardun, a breathtaking sanctuary resort unveiled by NEOM, the ambitious sustainable megaproject shaping the Kingdom's northwest.

Zardun blends modern elegance with nature's wonders in NEOM, contributing to the region's transformative vision alongside other coastal assets.

Zardun, a nature-based resort overlooking the Gulf of Aqaba, features four ultra-luxury buildings seamlessly blending with the landscape.

With a focus on redefining luxury in an environmental context, Zardun aims to provide the ultimate premium ecotourism experience for guests.

Vast and meticulously restored, Zardun stretches across four square kilometers, a sanctuary teeming with native plants and animals. From mountain slopes to sandy shores, its breathtaking beauty unfolds as you arrive at the cutting-edge experience center, where a 360-degree observation deck awaits.

Zardun will include three boutique hotels, providing a total of 100 rooms and suites. The design is guided by a vision of sustainability in the newly restored environment. Each hotel will feature a unique theme, allowing guests to enjoy diverse experiences with views of a valley and the sea.

Zardun provides trekking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and various sports and leisure activities, such as stargazing, meditation, and yoga. Guests can also participate in educational programs and field work focused on nature protection, conservation, and rewilding efforts.

Zardun's sustainability plan involves creating oases to support diverse habitats, aiding the reintroduction of native flora and fauna. Along the coast, Zardun will contribute to a vibrant ecosystem, emphasising NEOM's commitment to environmental preservation, including the conservation of coral reefs and marine life in the Gulf of Aqaba.

The latest asset to be announced by NEOM, Zardun joins Leyja, Epicon, Siranna, Utamo, Norlana and Aquellum developments as sustainable tourism destinations within the Gulf of Aqaba, all of which share NEOM's commitment to sustainable progress.
