Saudi Arabia’s NEOM welcomes first...

Destination has been officially unveiled by Board of Directors

NEOM's luxury island destination, Sindalah, has been opened by the NEOM Board of Directors.

First announced by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Chairman of NEOM, in December 2022, the island's opening marks a significant milestone for the Red Sea development.

Transforming Sindalah from concept to reality has taken two years with a 30,000-strong workforce.

This month, Sindalah has welcomed its first guests to its 840,000-square-metre location off the NEOM coastline in northwest Saudi Arabia.

Sindalah is NEOM's gateway to the Red Sea, providing easy access for European, Saudi and GCC yacht owners.

Set to welcome up to 2,400 guests per day by 2028, the island will also generate around 3,500 jobs, helping to drive the ongoing development of Saudi’s thriving hospitality and tourism industries.

Nadhmi Al-Nasr, Chief Executive Officer, NEOM, said: “NEOM is committed to supporting the Kingdom’s new era of luxury tourism, with the opening of Sindalah.

“This is a proud chapter in the NEOM story and we are excited to achieve more of our ambitious goals, with the continued support of His Royal Highness.

“NEOM’s inaugural destination offers visitors a ‘first glimpse’ of what the future holds for our extensive portfolio of destinations and developments.”

Boasting an impressive marine ecosystem, Sindalah’s surrounding waters are home to 1,100 species of fish – 45 of which are unique to NEOM waters, in addition to more than 300 coral species.
