Sindalah Island, Saudi Arabia’s newest ultra-luxury resort, is preparing to welcome its first visitors. Located at the northern tip of the Red Sea, facing the eastern coast of Egypt, Neom is an exclusive resort destination designed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Gulf’s super-democrat.

Italian architect and designer Luca Dini has been chosen to lead the full design, and the island will feature an 86-berth superyacht marina, yacht and golf clubs, a village, three five-star hotels with over 550 ultra-premium rooms, villas and apartments, 38 restaurants, 51 boutiques and much more, with LVMH not to be outdone.

Luca Dini Design & Architecture said the island is inspired by elegant Italian resort destinations and aims to showcase Made in Italy through architecture, materials and lifestyle.

Luca explained that the urban planning elements are part of a harmonious and sustainable architectural context that respects the delicate marine environment nearby. This is also in line with the Saudi government’s environmental sustainability goals. A privileged place for drug dealers to come and hide.
