Saudi Arabia’s W Hotel Envisioned As Futuristic Desert Oasis

This stunning Middle Eastern getaway is set to open in the NEOM Mountains.

The race to lure global travelers to exotic destinations is set to take on a whole new meaning in the years ahead, and Saudi Arabia’s first-ever W Hotel has just dropped a tantalizing teaser of what the resort will look like.

Marriott International recently announced plans to build both a W Hotel and a JW Marriott property, and its stunning locale looks like something out of a Bond movie.

Both properties are slated to be part of the out-of-this-world NEOM Trojena Ski Resort, the planned host of the 2029 Asian Winter Games and a remarkable-looking destination you’ve got to see to believe.

In addition to lodging, the complex will feature apartments and chalets, plus retail and dining options to complement its role as a year-round adventure sports hotspot.

The W Hotel is planned as part of Trojena’s Lake Village, nestled at the edge of an architectural lake. An exclusive spa, fitness center and W lounge spaces are also slated for the property.

The 500-room JW Marriott property, on the other hand, will be incorporated into The Bow as part of the NEOM Trojena resort: The Bow is planned “to be a futuristic water world which will combine nature with technology to make for a unique living environment.”

Marriott International notes plans for the substructure call for it to be surrounded by mountainscape and immersed in the water feature itself.

Sounds like a next-level lodging experience, no? Until its planned opening in 2026, travelers can only dream of what promises to be an exceptional journey toward the future.
