Marriott International has signed an agreement with Neom to open its second Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Saudi Arabia.  

Set to debut in Trojena, a year-round mountain destination located in the northwest region of the country, the property is expected to feature 60 expansive one- to four-bedroom villas. Plans for additional amenities include a spa, swimming pools and multiple culinary venues. 

Situated in a remote area of Trojena, the resort is expected to offer an idyllic escape complete with expansive views across the desert and mountain ranges. 

“Ritz-Carlton Reserve features a portfolio of exclusive properties that offer an intimate and transformative experience rooted in heartfelt care and human connection,” says Chadi Hauch, Regional Vice President, Lodging Development, Middle East, Marriott International. “Together with Neom, we look forward to bringing this ultra-luxury experience to Trojena. This signing also marks an important addition to our portfolio in Saudi Arabia where we continue to see a strong demand for our luxury brands.” 

Philip Gullett, Executive Director and Trojena Region Head, adds: “Trojena is a rare destination, and we are delighted that Ritz-Carlton Reserve has hand-picked the mountains of Neom for their next property. Together we will create an experience that can’t be recreated anywhere else. Our visitors and residents will experience a sanctuary that will capture the magic of Saudi Arabia, embracing ultimate luxury in an unforgettable location.” 

Trojena, one of the flagship developments within Neom, is being developed and positioned as a year-round adventure sports destination. It will include residential, retail and leisure facilities, as well as other hospitality offerings like a W Hotel and a JW Marriott Hotel. The signing of the Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Trojena marks the seventh collaboration announced between Marriott International and Neom.
