Zannier Hotels partners with Neom for eco-resort development
Zannier Hotels has announced a partnership with Neom to develop a new eco-resort in Zardun, one of Magna’s destinations on the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba.
Zannier Zardun, located in a semi-desertic landscape filled with native fauna and flora, will comprise 100 rooms and suites, spread over three striking buildings.
A unique experience centre welcomes guests through an underground entrance, leading to a 360-degree observation deck that immediately connects visitors to the surrounding landscape. As part of Neom and Zannier Hotels’ dedication to preserving and enhancing the natural environment, the resort will feature a series of lush oases designed to support diverse habitats, aiding the reintroduction of native animal, tree and plant species.
“We are thrilled to officialise our collaboration with Neom,” says Arnaud Zannier, founder and CEO of Zannier Hotels. “This partnership marks a significant milestone, solidifying our position among top-tier hospitality brands. It highlights our ambitious vision and commitment to excellence, serving as both a cornerstone for our brand’s evolution and a testament to our emergence as a formidable contender in the luxury hospitality market.”
Jeremy Lester, Executive Director of Magna, adds: “Zannier Zardun epitomizes Neom’s dedication to crafting unrivaled experiences that celebrate the precious environment and rich heritage of Magna. Together we will carefully and diligently cultivate and conserve the vibrant ecosystem along the coast for future generations. This partnership with Zannier Hotels reflects a unified vision where ultra-luxury and sustainability coexist in perfect harmony. Zannier Zardun charters new horizons, merging our grand ambitions and shared values to create lasting memories for our guests and visitors to cherish.”
Chris Newman, Executive Director of Neom Hotel Division, also comments: “Our collaboration with Zannier Hotels, a brand that shares our commitment to authenticity, sustainable practices and creating unique guest experiences rooted in nature, represents a powerful partnership for Neom. Zannier Hotels’ dedication to authentic experience makes them the ideal partner for Magna. Together, we will create a sanctuary that embraces the stunning natural beauty of the Gulf of Aqaba, pushing boundaries in progressive architecture with the aim to redefine how we travel, stay and live.”
