Saudi Arabia’s forthcoming Sindalah Island project will be the first opportunity for tourists to visit NEOM, according to Antoni Vives, chief urban planning Officer at NEOM, in comments to Al Arabiya English.
The planned development on Sindalah Island will be a luxurious resort including a golf course and high-end restaurants and accommodations.
Sindalah Island, located in the Red Sea off the coast of NEOM, boasts a favorable climate, rich marine life, and stunning coral reefs, and will offer a range of water-based activities such as snorkeling, diving, and yachting. Upscale hotels, private villas, and high-end resorts are set to attract travelers seeking an ultra-luxury experience.
“Sindalah will mark the first opportunity for the public to experience NEOM,” Vives said. “As the first physical showcase of NEOM, Sindalah will be a glamorous gateway to the Red Sea and a world-class super yachting destination, giving visitors a glimpse into the experiences to come across the region.”
“NEOM’s vision is to build a land of the future – an entirely new kind of destination. Sindalah is an important part of NEOM’s vision of building the land of the future.”
Construction on neighboring NEOM is well underway, a source has told SUSTG.com. NEOM will be home to cutting-edge infrastructure, including a high-speed transportation system and advanced communication networks.
The Kingdom plans to preserve the island’s natural beauty through sustainable tourism practices, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the natural surroundings.
Saudi Arabia’s strategic bet on tourism is part of the Kingdom’s broader Vision 2030 plan to diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on oil revenue.
