NEOM — Sindalah, the luxury island destination and first physical showcase of NEOM, has been officially unveiled by the NEOM Board of Directors. First announced by Crown Prince and Chairman of the NEOM Board of Directors Mohammed bin Salman in December 2022, Sindalah’s opening marks an exciting milestone in NEOM’s development. Transforming Sindalah from concept to reality has involved an extensive two-year effort, utilizing a workforce of up to 30,000 at its peak, with four local contracting partners and around 60 subcontractors.
This significant step aligns with the Kingdom’s tourism ambitions under Saudi Vision 2030 and reaffirms NEOM's capacity to develop innovative destinations. To celebrate the occasion, Sindalah welcomed its first wave of invited guests to experience the island's allure. Located in the glistening azure waters of the Red Sea, just five kilometers off the NEOM coastline in northwest Saudi Arabia, Sindalah spans 840,000 square meters and is strategically positioned 17 hours by sea from key Mediterranean destinations.
The island will serve as NEOM's gateway to the Red Sea, providing easy access for European, Saudi, and GCC yacht owners. Sindalah blends the island's natural beauty with tech-driven design and architectural excellence. Designed by the leading yachting architecture firm, Luca Dini, the island features world-class restaurants, hotels, venues, and experiences.
Set to welcome up to 2,400 guests daily by 2028, Sindalah will also generate ap.
