Neom Announces Elanan, A Unique Wellness Retreat Embedded in Nature

The NEOM Board of Directors has announced plans for Elanan, a new luxury wellness retreat set amid nature in northwest Saudi Arabia. The exclusive 80-room resort will open along the pristine Gulf of Aqaba coastline, surrounded by lush oasis landscapes fed by ancient springs.

Designed for total rejuvenation, Elanan takes a modern approach to wellness. State-of-the-art technologies promote relaxation and reflection in a discreet, luxurious, natural setting. Signature facilities like private dining, a sun garden, and an observation tower provide tranquil spaces for guests to restore body and mind.

The contemporary, sculptural architecture blends seamlessly with the surroundings. Using innovative techniques, the structures emerge from the oasis as organic forms in synergy with nature. Inside, modern aesthetics retain the calming essence of the exterior landscapes.
