Who recently checked in

Property Overview

Our Habitas AlUla sits in one of Saudi Arabia's most remarkable landscapes, where desert, mountains, canyons, sandstone monoliths, and archaeological treasures meet. AlUla is often described as an open-air museum, a destination that sat at the crossroads of the ancient incense road and the original pilgrimage route to Makkah. The area still bears the marks of those who passed through, including Hegra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where ninety-four tombs are carved directly into the rock. At the heart of the Habitas experience are six programming pillars: music, wellness, food and drink, adventure, art, and learning.

Accommodations

Sustainably designed villas with canyon views and open desert skies.

The villas are designed to sit lightly within the landscape of the Ashar Valley, each with private outdoor lounge decks, king-sized beds, and indoor and outdoor showers. Celestial Villas offer generous lounging and entertaining space with views of sandstone cliffs at sunset, while Alcove Villas put you up close to the canyon walls with expansive desert views from a private terrace.
Pool + Gym

An infinity pool among ancient sandstone cliffs.

The pool at Our Habitas AlUla is one of the most dramatically positioned in the region, set within the sandstone canyon landscape of the Ashar Valley, with the towering cliffs of AlUla framing every angle. The approach to fitness here goes beyond the gym floor, with movement, rest, and connection woven into the fabric of everything about the Habitas experience, whether it's exercise, dance, or traveling through the surrounding landscapes.
Spa

Named for the stars that helped the Bedouins navigate the desert.

Thuraya Wellness takes its name from the star constellation used by Bedouins to navigate the desert, which is a fitting reference for a space designed to help you find your bearings. The facilities include spa treatment rooms, a fitness center, a yoga studio, an outdoor wellness agora, and a lounge with an alchemy bar.
Restaurant + Bar

Cuisine inspired by ancient spice routes and local ingredients.

Tama, which means "here and now" in Aramaic, serves as the communal heart of the Habitas experience. The menu weaves together global and Middle Eastern influences, drawing on local ingredients and the spices that once traveled the ancient incense route through AlUla. Saudi Arabia is a dry country, so in place of a wine list, Tama offers a well-crafted mocktail menu.
