Banyan Tree AlUla features 47 new tented suites as well as public areas that include two gourmet restaurants and a luxury spa. The signature swimming pool sits in a natural crevice in the rocks, reminiscent of the Wadis which appear at the foot of the cliffs during rain spells.
The interior design is a modern interpretation of the Bedouin way of life. Spaces are designed to create an indoor-outdoor feel, to help guests feel connected to nature. AW² took an environmentally friendly, ‘light touch' approach which aims to blend the resort seamlessly with the natural scenery of the Ashar valley.
