New 270-key property to sit at the heart of country’s first ski resort

Minor Hotels has announced the expansion of its luxury Anantara brand in Saudi Arabia with its upcoming debut in Trojena, a year-round mountain destination in NEOM.

The hotel owner, operator and investor currently has a portfolio of 530 hotels and resorts in 56 countries across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, the Americas, Africa and the Indian Ocean.

Situated at the heart of NEOM, 50 kilometres from the Gulf of Aqaba coast, and with an elevation of up to 2,600 metres, Trojena will be home to the Gulf's first outdoor ski resort and is set to stage sporting events, art exhibitions, concerts and cultural festivals.

With its central location, mountain landscape and natural surroundings, Anantara Trojena will welcome guests in 2026, aiming to redefine luxury living in the region. Like the rest of NEOM, the property will be powered by renewable energy while sustainably protecting the region's cultural and environmental heritage.

Dining options at the resort will include two speciality restaurants, an all-day dining restaurant with a show kitchen, a café, high tea lounge and a rooftop majlis café.

Additional on-site facilities include an Anantara Spa, with separate male and female wet areas and treatment rooms, plus multiple hammams, a fitness centre, a spectacular infinity pool with mountain and lake views, a stargazing deck, an outdoor cinema, kids’ and teens’ clubs, and a sports and activity pavilion.

Located in the Water Village, part of the Valley Cluster of Trojena, the resort will be accessible via helicopter, with its own on-site helipad, while meeting and events spaces will attract corporate and special events.
