Baheej, Saudi Arabia’s emerging destination developer, has introduced the fourth component of its transformative Yanbu Waterfront Project, a boutique wellness resort.
This will feature 34 rooms and is designed to blend ancestral wellness traditions with modern aesthetics, drawing inspiration from the region’s rich seafaring heritage.
Nestled on the tranquil shores of Yanbu, this intimate sanctuary will feature private sea-view cabanas, immersive wellness programming, and a signature spa designed as an architectural homage to the pearl, once a precious treasure of Yanbu and a symbol of renewal and serenity.
Norah Al Tamimi, CEO of Baheej, said that, “This project is a reflection of Baheej’s vision to enrich Saudi destinations with meaning, not just infrastructure. Our wellness resort is more than a place to stay, it’s an experience crafted around the values of balance, beauty, and belonging. We believe it will become a new symbol of Yanbu’s evolving identity as a serene coastal escape.”
Stefano Lopez, Senior Director at Baheej, stated that, “The design, developed by Spectrum Architecture, draws deeply from the soul of Yanbu. It reinterprets the poetry of seafaring traditions and the calm resilience of the sea into a space of reflection, comfort, and transformation.”
Lopez also noted that the official brand of the resort will be revealed later this year, hinting at its distinctive Saudi character, “We want to create a brand that resonates with our domestic travelers. One that brings generations of Saudi heritage and wellness practices to the forefront of contemporary hospitality.”
This launch marks a further step in Baheej’s mission to transform Yanbu into the gateway to the Red Sea Riviera; a new destination narrative that fuses nature, culture, and community.
The wellness resort joins a growing collection of destination-defining assets developed by Baheej in Yanbu, including Cloud 7 Lifestyle hotel by Kerten Hospitality, Kaynuna Beach Escape, and the upcoming Jaba Tour Center and Diving Club, as per the statement.
