Habitas Alula

Nestled in the heart of an ancient oasis within the desert canyons of the Ashar Valley, Habitas Alula is Saudi Arabia's new secret, eco-friendly and luxurious desert hideaway. Its 96 eco-designed villas in a sleek oriental style offer an otherworldly feel and blend magically into a breathtaking rocky landscape. The villas are scattered across the grandiose desert and feature lovely outdoor terraces from which to enjoy exceptional sunsets. The hotel boasts a large infinity pool with a bar adjacent to the rock faces and a comprehensive wellness centre named «Thuraya», after a constellation of stars used by the Bedouin. The spa comprises treatment rooms, a fitness room, a yoga studio, and a magnificent outdoor agora for classes or meditation. To complement the holistic approach of the Habitas concept, the Tama restaurant («here and now» in Aramaic) offers a culinary journey through time. Its dishes showcase Middle Eastern cuisine, using fresh local ingredients and spices from the incense route, bringing the unique flavours of Saudi Arabia to life. For a totally immersive experience, a camel's stride from the hotel, Caravan by Habitas offers a stay in luxury Airstreams that combine optimal comfort with harmony with nature. Offering breathtaking views of the surrounding canyons or the date palm oasis, each accommodation features a private bathroom, air conditioning and a private outdoor terrace.
