DESERT HIDEAWAY

The project is a luxury 60 keys desert hideaway resort located in the Arabian Peninsula’s empty quarter, known as Rub’ Al Khali. It is the world’s largest sand sea, holding about half as much sand as the Sahara Desert. The terrain is covered with 250-meter-high reddish orange sand dunes, interrupted with white salt flat called ‘Sabkhas’.

SCOPE

​

 X-Architects’ Desert Hideaway Resort in Saudi Arabia reimagines desert luxury by embedding architecture into the sand-sea of the Empty Quarter. With low-lying dune pavilions, vertical ‘flower’ villas and a salt-flat wellness carpet, the design merges luxury, nature and wellbeing. As SpaLution, we reference such pioneering design in crafting destination-wellness resorts where the environment becomes part of the guest journey.
