Our Habitas AlUla

Our Habitas AlUla is a desert resort in the Ashar Valley, about 35 km south-east of AlUla's town centre in north-west Saudi Arabia. Villas sit among sandstone canyons and an old oasis, and the valley is also home to Maraya, the mirrored concert and exhibition venue. Hegra, Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, is within reach on a day tour.

All villas are single-storey, reached by electric cart, and come with canyon views, a private outdoor deck, a king-size bed and indoor and outdoor showers. Celestial Villas have telescopes, Alcove Villas sit closest to the cliffs, and Canyon Villas look over the oasis. Art Villas face Desert X installations, Wellness Villas add yoga mats and in-villa massage, and the Arabian Villas are the largest and most private.

Tama, the resort's restaurant, mixes global and Middle Eastern cooking, with ingredients from farms around AlUla and spices once carried along the incense route. Thuraya Wellness has spa treatment rooms, an alchemy bar, a gym, a yoga studio and an outdoor wellness space.

A free daily programme covers yoga, music and talks, and you can book stargazing at Gharameel, camel rides, canyon buggy tours and an 8 km hiking trail. It suits active couples and culture-minded travellers. AlUla International Airport (ULH) is about 50 minutes away by road, and the resort can arrange private transfers.
