Banyan Tree AlULa
A retreat nestled in AlUla’s serene Ashar Valley, the Banyan Tree welcomes guests to 47 tented villas that blend luxury and sophistication with its mesmerizing desert landscape. The accommodation ranges from spacious one to three bedroom villas, dressed in terracotta walls, muted desert tones, Nabataean-inspired designs, and locally sourced handicrafts. Most villas feature a private pool and fire pit. Covered with sand-colored canvas, the villas fit seamlessly into its landscape of sand dunes and red stone mountains. Leaving a light footprint, the boutique resort’s other facilities include a secluded Rock Pool, a Health Center, and two dining venues offering Thai and local cuisine. Immersing guests in the locale, the property offers exclusive outdoor treatments, nomadic chef’s tables, active adventures, and private events staged in spectacular settings.
