Habitas AlUla offers a much more relaxed side of luxury in Saudi Arabia. Set among the sandstone canyons of Ashar Valley, the resort combines contemporary villas, wellness, art, and cultural experiences in a setting that is connected to the desert.
What is Habitas AlUla like?
The resort includes 96 villas positioned across the Ashar Valley landscape. Each villa focuses on natural views, simple interiors, and private outdoor space rather than traditional hotel grandeur. Accommodation ranges from canyon-facing villas to larger Arabian Villas and wellness categories designed for guests who want treatments and movement built into their stay.
It suits travelers who appreciate:
- Modern desert design
- Wellness and outdoor activities
- Cultural and creative programming
- A relaxed approach to high-end hospitality
- Easy access to Ashar Valley attractions
Wellness at Habitas AlUla
Wellness is one of the resort’s strongest features. Thuraya Wellness includes spa treatment rooms, a fitness centre, yoga spaces, an outdoor wellness area, and a lounge with an alchemy bar. Selected Wellness Villas also include yoga equipment and the option of private in-room massage treatments.
Your day can move easily from a morning heritage tour to an afternoon spa treatment, followed by a swim or a quiet evening beneath the stars.
This makes Habitas a strong choice for travelers looking for an eco luxury resort experience that balances sightseeing with luxury wellness.
Dining at Habitas AlUla
Tama is the resort’s main dining venue, serving a mix of Middle Eastern and international dishes made with local ingredients and regional spices. The setting feels communal without becoming overly casual, making it suitable for long breakfasts, relaxed lunches, and dinners after a full day of touring and sightseeing.
Sustainability and design
Habitas positions sustainability as part of the resort’s construction and operation. Its villas use ethically sourced and organic materials intended to sit lightly within Ashar Valley, while the broader brand focuses on community, culture, and conservation initiatives.
The design remains quiet and closely connected to the landscape while also maintaining luxury standards.
Who should stay at Habitas AlUla?
Habitas AlUla works particularly well for couples, solo travelers, friends, and culturally curious guests who want more than a conventional resort stay.
Three nights give you time to visit Hegra, Old Town, Dadan, Jabal Ikmah, and Maraya while still enjoying the resort. A four-night stay allows more space for spa treatments, yoga, desert experiences, and the property’s cultural programming.
