Minor Hotels is set to bring its Anantara brand to the Saudi Arabian mountain destination of Neom, with the opening of a 270-key Anantara resort in Trojena.
The new resort will offer a selection of guestrooms and suites, some with private pools, and all with lake or mountain views. Food and beverage will be available at the site’s two speciality restaurants, an all-day dining restaurant, a café and high tea lounge, as well as a rooftop majlis café. As for additional amenities, the property will be home to an Anantara Spa comprising treatment rooms and hammams, a fitness centre, an infinity pool with mountain and lake views, a star gazing deck, an outdoor cinema and a sports pavilion. With its own on-site helipad, the resort will also host a range of gatherings in its meeting and event spaces.
The new Anantara resort will be located in the Water Village, part of the Valley Cluster of Trojena. Currently under development, The Valley will be home to three projects, with a 2.8 kilometre long, man-made fresh-water lake at its heart.
“Trojena redefines the understanding of year-long ultra-luxury hospitality and mountain tourism. With the addition of the Anantara in our iconic Water Village, we will be elevating the travel experience for discerning guests,” says Philip Gullett, Executive Director and Region Head at Trojena. “The Anantara will serve as a luxurious sanctuary along the edge of Trojena’s new lake, situated in a region that will offer the Gulf’s first outdoor ski resort and where world-class sporting events, art exhibitions, concerts, and cultural festivals will be staged.”
Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO of Minor International and CEO of Minor Hotels, adds: “We are thrilled to announce that a luxury Anantara property will soon be under development in the incredibly exciting new destination of Trojena, part of Neom. Trojena is the perfect location for Anantara to bring its heartfelt hospitality and trademark take on authentic, indigenous luxury and we look forward to working with the team at Neom to bring this new property to fruition within this aspirational new destination.”
Trojena is set to be completed and begin welcoming visitors in late 2026, ready to host the Asian Winter Games in 2029.
