Al-Ahsa’s Tuaja Resorts: Elegant Luxury in the Oasis’s Heart

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is home to numerous intriguing historical and natural landmarks, making it one of the most visited tourist destinations worldwide.

Among these charming areas, Al-Ahsa is experiencing a notable surge in tourism. Three lavish resorts under the ‘Tuaja’ brand are currently under construction and will likely open in full in early 2027.

This post will provide you with information about these new resorts and what visitors can anticipate.

Tuaja’s Luxurious Launch

Last May, Prince Saud bin Talal bin Badr, the governor of Al-Ahsa, officially opened the construction of the ‘Tuaja’ resorts, a new development project run by Dan Company, a Public Investment Fund subsidiary. This was in front of numerous officials and representatives from different sectors.

Prince Saud underlined the project’s significance in accomplishing Saudi Vision 2030’s objectives during the inauguration. Moreover, to guarantee the highest standards of quality, he highlighted the vitality of public-private partnerships.

Dan Chairman Saad bin Abdulaziz Al-Karoud stated that the project, which combines the natural beauty and cultural diversity of Al-Ahsa, marks a turning point in the hospitality industry. Besides, the ceremony featured a display of miniature versions of the resorts, which are notable for their distinct personalities, reflecting the local landscape, and providing guests with a luxurious and heritage-inspired experience.

Total Immersion in the Palm Oasis

Within Al-Ahsa Oasis, the world’s largest palm oasis, the new ‘Tuaja’ project spans an enormous 1.8 million square metres and comprises about 200 different types of lodging, including hotel rooms and luxury villas, some of which have private pools.

The Tuaja Country Resort, Tuaja Eco-Friendly Resort, and Tuaja Adventure Resort are the three separate resorts that make up the project. One of the biggest and most well-known hotel chains in the world, Hilton, will oversee these locations.

What is available at these three resorts?

The Tuaja Eco-Resort, where luxury and genuine simplicity coexist, is the ideal option for anyone who longs to get back to nature. In the middle of nature, the resort provides an opulent agricultural experience that lets you engage with Al-Ahsa’s farms and produce up close.

Fresh local produce is available to sample and help prepare dishes using ingredients picked straight from the ground. In addition, you can engage in activities that bring you closer to the land’s essence while maintaining the utmost comfort and luxury in a chic, contemporary setting.

Likewise, at the Tuaja Eco-Resort, you can find a peaceful sanctuary away from the bustle of everyday existence. It has expansive green areas and reflective waterways, creating the illusion of an oasis inside an oasis. There are also meditation sessions and comprehensive health treatments using high-quality natural products available under the supervision of trained professionals.

It is also a realistic example of sustainability, with resources being managed with care to protect the local environment and promote an environmentally conscious culture, both of which are important components of the Kingdom’s long-term goals.

Further, the Tuaja Adventure Resort is a one-stop shop for adventurers and adventure seekers. Specifically designed to accommodate visitors of all ages, it can accommodate families and solo adventurers. The resort offers a range of outdoor recreational activities, desert trail hikes, and exploration tours, all inspired by Al-Ahsa’s distinctive natural setting. By 2030, these resorts in Tuaja hope to draw 14 million tourists, bringing in an estimated 6 billion Saudi riyals for the country’s economy.

Dan Company

Notably, Dan Company declared in December of last year that the Tuaja brand would be launched. By creating opulent and environmentally friendly travel destinations that help turn rural areas into tourist destinations, Dan was founded with the goal of assisting and advancing rural tourism throughout Saudi Arabia.

Additionally, it concentrates on creating sustainable, high-quality projects and aims to have all of its facilities certified LEED Gold, demonstrating its dedication to international environmental standards.

The company plans to progressively spread to several areas of the Kingdom through the Tuaja project, ensuring that the local environment and culture have an influence on the distinctive design of each resort. It is noteworthy that Al-Ahsa Governorate saw incredible growth in tourism in 2024, with over 3.2 million visitors overall—a growth rate of almost 500% over 2019 alone. Furthermore, visitor spending surpassed SAR 3.3 billion, a 400% rise over the same time frame.

These numbers attest to Al-Ahsa’s rising prominence as a top travel destination in the Kingdom and highlight the value of investment initiatives like the Tawaja resorts. These initiatives have a major positive impact on the country’s economy and the growth of the travel and tourism industry.
