The two Luxury Collection hotels in Sindalah are slated to open in 2024. A beach resort will offer a mix of 70 luxury rooms and suites, including one, two, three and four-bedroom villas all featuring private pools.

The second project is expected to be an all-suite property offering 115 one, two and three-bedroom luxury suites, and will be situated in the heart of the retail and marina district of Sindalah.

The Autograph Collection property in Sindalah is also expected to open in 2024 and will have 66 rooms and suites, including one and two-bedroom villas.

All three hotels will feature multiple F&B outlets as well as extensive leisure and meeting facilities.

“Marriott offers one of the most compelling portfolios in the entire industry and enjoys a stellar reputation in the region,” said Chris Newman, Executive Director, Hotel Development at NEOM. “We are thrilled by the prospect of working together and look forward to building a hospitality experience that captures the spirit of Sindalah’s year-long appeal, while creating unforgettable memories for our guests.”
