Spanning 1.8 million square metres, the resort will feature 201 accommodation units, from hotel rooms to high-end villas, some with private pools. Dan Company claims every aspect of the resort is carefully designed to reflect the unique character of Al-Ahsa, offering diverse experiences catering to guests’ needs in agri tourism, ecotourism, and Adventure tourism.
Guests will enjoy a range of facilities and services including a wide variety of dining options, a ‘farm-to-table’ experience, a spa, a central activity area, a community centre supporting local artisans, an event hall, and sports facilities.
Dan Company says it places environmental conservation and sustainability at the heart of the project and seeks LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification out of its keenness to protect the local environment. The resort blends modern sustainability practices with local traditions, with a focus on preserving the region’s rich natural heritage and culture.
The project is expected to boost the local economy, create jobs, and enhance Al-Ahsa’s status as a tourist destination.
