Marriott International has just announced that they’re teaming up with NEOM to bring something truly special: the second Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Saudi Arabia, the first being in the Red Sea. The property is set to be a secluded retreat located in the mountains of Trojena, in the northwest region of the country, promising an escape into pure luxury.

So, what’s the deal with Ritz-Carlton Reserve in general? These properties are designed for travelers like you who crave something truly unique. They handpick the most breathtaking spots on the planet and create havens where personalized service is provided, and the design reflects the local vibe - allowing you to immerse yourself in the destination, soaking up every moment in style.

Chadi Hauch from Marriott International sums it up pretty well: “Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties offer an intimate and transformative experience rooted in heartfelt care and human connection.” And they’re bringing this ultra-luxury experience to Trojena with 60 jaw-dropping villas, a spa, swimming pools to cool off in, and dining experiences that’ll leave your taste buds dancing.

Trojena itself is something out of a dream. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, you’ll find yourself surrounded by desert and mountains, with views that’ll take your breath away. Philip Gullett, Executive Director of the Trojena Region, said: “Trojena is a rare destination, and we are delighted that Ritz-Carlton Reserve has hand-picked the mountains of NEOM for their next property.”

Chris Newman from NEOM echoes the excitement: “We are excited to announce the collaboration with Ritz-Carlton Reserve within the unique mountains of Trojena. This is a very special project which merits only the most exceptional and exclusive of brands.”

Trojena isn’t just about luxury, though. It’s being developed as a year-round adventure sports hub. Think skiing, water sports, hiking, and mountain biking. Plus, there’s going to be everything from apartments and chalets to dining and entertainment options, including a W Hotel and a JW Marriott Hotel.

This isn’t just any hotel opening; it’s a game-changer for luxury travel in Saudi Arabia. And it’s not the first time Marriott International and NEOM have teamed up. This marks their seventh collaboration, and if past projects are anything to go by, we’re in for something truly extraordinary.

So, if you’re ready to experience luxury like never before, keep your eyes peeled for the grand opening of Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Trojena!
