Habitas AlUla

Journey through the desert to the golden canyons of Saudi Arabia’s Ashar Valley, where towering rock formations, sandstone cliffs and the intense blue sky form a dramatic panorama that stretches infinitely into the horizon. Tucked away in these rugged yet spellbinding landscapes is Habitas AlUla, an immersive eco-luxe retreat that specialises in experiences for the soul. Live music ignites the spirit under star-sprinkled skies. The surrounding nature and local community are woven deeply into the boutique retreat, from the handicrafts made by local artisans to the uniquely sustainable practices. The expertly crafted tented suites have been tastefully decorated in keeping with Middle Eastern traditions, using sustainably-sourced materials which seamlessly blend into the surrounding desert.

Experience yoga in the shadow of the epic canyon walls, or marvel as the setting sun pierces between the canyons, as burning incense wafts throughout the camp. Music is integral to the adventure, and traditional Saudi music concerts will open your heart and mind to the beauty of the region and its culture. Discover holistic healing blended with local, Middle Eastern techniques, from sound healing sessions to soothing spa treatments using all-natural, locally sourced ingredients. Art installations fuel your sense of curiosity while drawing attention to the wonders of AlUla. Or venture further out of camp, exploring the desert by hiking, off-road buggy, camel or horseback.
