The Desert Rock initiative seamlessly blends architectural design with the natural landscape.

The newly unveiled Desert Rock eco-tourism resort, nestled within the ancient mountains of Saudi Arabia, now welcomes guests at the Red Sea.

Crafted by Oppenheim Architecture in partnership with Red Sea Global, Desert Rock exemplifies harmony between architectural innovation and the surrounding natural environment, establishing a pioneering standard for sustainable and immersive design.

Red Sea Global, the visionary force behind Amaala and The Red Sea—Saudi Arabia’s flagship regenerative tourism projects—developed this unique destination.

Seamlessly carved into the Hejaz Mountains, Desert Rock offers accommodations designed to merge with the natural landscape, preserving its beauty while delivering a truly integrated experience.

At Desert Rock, guests arrive through a concealed valley that unfolds to reveal a stunning array of facilities spread across 30,000 square meters of land.

The accommodations cater to various preferences, offering options like ground-level villas and suites seamlessly integrated into the mountainside. The Wadi Villas boast private pools, while the Cliff Hanging Villas perch high above, delivering breathtaking panoramic views.

For those seeking exclusivity, the Mountain Cave Suites and Mountain Crevice Villas feature cliffside pools delicately suspended along the massif, tucked away in secluded areas of the valley. The Royal Villa provides a bespoke private retreat, ensuring unmatched luxury and privacy.

Every detail of the resort’s design was meticulously planned to minimize its ecological impact. Excavated materials from the site were sustainably reused to contribute to the project’s infrastructure, aligning with its commitment to environmental preservation.
