Sand dunes as far as the eye can see and surreal desert rock formations host one of the most desired destinations by travelers: Habitas AlUla. Opened in November 2021 the serene resort offers an otherworldly, immersive experience, located in the uncharted AlUla region, in the North West of Saudi Arabia.

Bathed in local rituals and traditions, Habitas AlUla is an oasis of calm and well-being, offering a range of activities to introduce visitors to authentic Saudi culture and history, along with services designed to restore and relax, such as the holistic Thuraya Wellness center featuring Technogym exclusive solutions.

Habitas AlUla’s villas are sustainably designed to embrace the natural surroundings of the Ashar Valley. All of the villas offer scenic canyon views, private outdoor lounge decks, king-sized beds, and indoor & outdoor showers. The 96 guest rooms span three tiers: premium Celestial Rooms, Alcove Rooms and Canyon Rooms, constructed from ethically-sourced organic materials, which blend seamlessly into AlUla’s breathtaking landscapes and natural wonders.

The resort aims to bring guests closer to the surrounding heritage and environment, taking an innovative modular approach ensuring minimal ecological impact. This philosophy is also reflected in the eclectic adventure programming offered by the resort, such as art and cultural walks, canyon trekking, yoga, meditation and breathwork. Guests are also invited to expand their knowledge of the historical region with weekly outdoor cinema screenings of regional films and cultural documentaries, open discussion lectures on local initiatives, culture, and history and a series of concerts with local talents.

Guests at Habitas AlUla can also enjoy an infinity pool overlooking the valley and Thuraya Wellness - named after a star constellation widely used by bedouins to navigate - is the place to come to restore and relax. Thuraya Wellness offers a peaceful lounge space with an alchemy bar, spa treatment rooms, a fitness center, an outdoor wellness agora and yoga studio.

Each of the therapies & rituals offered by the resort have emerged with the intention of generating well-being by combining techniques and ancestral practices from different parts of the world, but mainly by embracing the local culture. Through yoga and meditation practices, travellers can cultivate the ancient discipline to recharge themselves by improving the clarity of thought and the awakening of their physical body, where the soul achieves a greater sense of balance.

s part of the resort’s overall wellness experience Habitas offers the best of indoor and outdoor fitness workouts, to improve muscle tone and cardiovascular fitness. Comprehensive exercise programs work on intensive, individualized core fitness & follow a goal-oriented fitness approach.

In addition to personal training sessions, the fitness center, part of Thuraya Wellness, is fully equipped with Technogym solutions, such as Excite Line, the revolutionary range of fully-connected cardio equipment fitted with the ultimate Technogym Live console.

Guests can also opt for Excite Live Recline, designed to take cycling to new levels of comfort, from the wide walk-through, to the soft-touch handles, to the adjustable backrest.

For travelers who are looking for high intensity workouts aimed at improving sports performance, Habitas provides Skillrow, the first indoor rowing equipment designed to improve anaerobic power, aerobic capacity and neuromuscular abilities in one solution.
