Shaden Resort

Unwind in comfort amidst the stark natural landscape of Al-Ula – a region rich in history – when you stay at Shaden Resort. 

The surroundings are extraordinary: monolithic outcrops and characterful cliffs of sandstone jut dramatically out of the desert, forming a photogenic perimeter. Although its cloistered setting makes you feel a world away from civilisation, the resort places you a short drive from Al-Ula town, as well as archaeological sites such as UNESCO-listed Hegra and natural landmarks including Elephant Rock.   

The property itself is an oasis designed to blend in with the desert landscape. Accommodation is mostly in air-conditioned tented bungalows, inside which you’ll find Arabian patterns, comfortable furnishings and all modern conveniences, including TVs and wifi. Resort facilities include a range of on-site restaurants, 24-hour butler service, private massage rooms and an outdoor swimming pool. But all that takes second billing to the scenery. As the sun rises and sets, enjoy soul-stirring views of the desert awash with golden light.
