Habitas AlUla

The Habitas Al Ula is an upscale adults-only hotel that brings luxury living to Al Ula in an eco-friendly manner. The property sits within the desert canyons of the Ashar Valley, surrounded by sandstone cliffs and palm groves. Scattered across a vawst swath of sand are 96 villas, each with well-appointed terraces, across three tiers: premium Celestial villas, Alcove villas, and Canyon villas. Each villa is sustainably-designed to embrace the natural surroundings and take advantage of the scenic canyon views. Complimentary e-bikes are parked by each suite, inviting guests to explore the property and beyond. The restaurant, Tama, practices sustainable agricultural methods and brings eco-consciousness into its local dishes. Other facilities include a yoga deck, wellness and fitness centers, and a swimming pool. In addition, the hotel facilitates programs for guests such as canyon trekking, meditation, and a weekly outdoor cinema screening featuring regional cultural films and documentaries.
