As he unveiled the newest initiative intended to enhance Saudi Arabia’s tourism industry, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman stated that Sindalah, the first luxury island destination in NEOM, will be home to superyachts and high-end homes.
Sindalah, one of a set of islands that will be constructed as part of the giga-project, will cover an area of roughly 840,000 square metres, and it is anticipated to provide 3,500 jobs for the tourism industry, hospitality, and leisure services.
According to the Saudi Press Agency, the island would serve as a major entrance to the Red Sea and provide distinctive maritime experiences. It is anticipated to begin receiving visitors in early 2024.
The Kingdom is taking a key step toward reaching its tourist goals under Vision 2030, according to the Crown Prince, who added: “This is another significant occasion for NEOM.”
“It will be a destination where travellers can experience the true beauty of NEOM and Saudi Arabia, above and below the water, making Sindalah the future of luxury travel,” says the developer of NEOM’s first luxury island and yacht club in the Red Sea, Sindalah. “It provides a scenic gateway to the Red Sea that will become the region’s most exciting and attractive tourism location.”

The establishment of Sindalah is a significant step toward attaining the Kingdom’s tourist ambitions, in keeping with the objectives established in Vision 2030, according to Mohammed bin Salman, who also serves as the head of the NEOM Board of Directors.
In addition to 333 luxury serviced apartments and 413 ultra-premium hotel rooms, Sindalah will have an 86-berth marina.
A posh beach club, a yacht club, and 38 different restaurants that will provide you an unmatched Red Sea experience are among Sindalah’s further attractions.
By giving golfers access to a top-notch 6,474-yard (5,920-meter) par 70 course, Sindalah is also anticipated to grow in popularity as a golfing vacation spot. The Sindalah golf course will offer two distinct nine-hole experiences thanks to its 18 tees.
One of the most significant initiatives supporting Saudi Arabia’s national tourist plan is NEOM, the $500 billion smart metropolis, as the country gradually diversifies its economy after being reliant on oil for many years.
The CEO of NEOM, Nadhmi Al-Nasr, stated that the hanging stadiums in the smart city will cause visitors to reinvent and picture the future in November at the World Travel and Tourism Council Global Summit.
“In The Line, we want visitors to visit and observe how and where sports stadiums are developed.” According to Al-Nasr, the sports arenas in NEOM are 300 metres tall, flimsy, and suspended in midair.
The industrial city of NEOM, OXAGON, he continued, has the potential to develop into a premier tourist destination where travellers may come and experience what the future will hold.
“All industries will be located at OXAGON, which is also NEOM’s port. However, we would like to have visitors stay in Oxagon for a day or two. They will observe how industries will develop in OXAGON. NEOM was constructed with the future in mind. We want them to visit and witness how the upcoming marine ports would run,” he continued.
