Equinox Hotels to launch futuristic wellbeing resort in Neom’s luxury coastal region
Fitness-focused hospitality brand and management company Equinox Hotels has announced plans to open a modern new resort on the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba in northwest Saudi Arabia. The venture is part of the ambitious US$500 billion (€462.7 billion, £396 billion) Neom* giga-project.
The new resort, Equinox Resort Treyam, will be a centrepiece in Magna**, Neom’s new luxury coastal region, which encompasses 12 destinations along 120km of coastline. Magna is one of five key locations within Neom, a project being developed in Tabuk province that will be nearly the size of Belgium upon completion.
Nestled amid striking landscapes and crystal-clear waters, the resort will feature a futuristic design highlighted by a 450-meter-long bridge-like structure suspended 40 meters above a lagoon.
Focused on high-performance living, it will include spacious accommodation, longevity and technology treatments supporting health and performance, a spa, a signature Equinox Fitness Club, a 450m pool, a Club House and culinary concepts.
Rooted in Equinox Hotels’ core values of movement, nutrition, regeneration and community, programming is being curated to ignite the senses.
The resort aims to bring the brand’s high-performance lifestyle philosophy to a beautiful new location between the mountains and the sea.
Leadership vision
Equinox Hotels CEO, Christopher Norton, said: “As a region, Neom embodies the future of luxury hospitality and we’re thrilled to create an unparalleled resort experience within this visionary destination.
“Our partnership with Neom highlights a shared commitment to innovation, sustainability and redefining the boundaries of hospitality. Located between The Line and the southernmost point of the Gulf of Aqaba, our resort will serve as the model for transformative luxury, activating the entire destination with experiences that only Equinox Hotels can offer.”
Chris Newman, executive director of Neom Hotel Division, added: “Guests will have the opportunity to fully engage with this extraordinary location, where every detail is designed to enhance their wellbeing, elevate their journey and support a high-performance lifestyle.”
