The towers – 225 metres and 275 metres in height respectively – will form part of the luxury coastal tourism destination Epicon, which joins Sindalah Island, Trojena, and the recently-launched Leyja.
The project is being billed as a “shimmering sanctuary that elegantly stands out from the coastal plain at the northern limits…Here, people will be able to enjoy unequalled service amid a transcendental landscape. A place for free-thinkers and free-spirits, the starting point of great adventures,” NEOM said in a release on the project.
They will house a 41-key hotel and luxury residences comprising 14 suites and apartments close to the Epicon resort, which will offer 120 rooms and 45 residential beach villas.
Hong Kong-based architecture firm 10 Design has designed the towers.
Epicon’s guests and residents “can expect a truly immersive and life-affirming experience. The luxurious residences and beach villas aim to deliver new levels of livability through cutting-edge innovations, world-class services and first-class experiences, positioning the resort as a benchmark for iconic living,” NEOM says.
Leyja, which was the most recent announcement, is being developed within a natural Wadi, with 120 rooms split between three properties sitting between 400m-high mountains.
