Minor Hotels has announced the expansion of its luxury Anantara brand in Saudi Arabia with its upcoming debut in Trojena, NEOM’s mountain destination.

Situated 50 kilometres from the Gulf of Aqaba coast, at an elevation of up to 2,600 metres and in the centre of NEOM, Trojena will be home to the Gulf’s first outdoor ski resort.

The new 270-key Anantara resort will offer guest rooms and suites, including some with private pools, and all with lake or mountain views.

Dining options will include two speciality restaurants, an all-day dining restaurant with a show kitchen, a café and a high tea lounge, in addition to a rooftop majlis café.

The property will feature a spa with separate male and female wet areas and treatment rooms plus multiple hammams, a fitness centre, a spectacular infinity pool with mountain and lake views, a star gazing deck, an outdoor cinema, kids and teens clubs, and a sports and activity pavilion.

It will also be accessible via helicopter, with its own on-site helipad, while meeting and events spaces will attract corporate and special events.

The Anantara resort will be located in the Water Village

The Anantara resort will be situated in the Water Village, which is part of the Valley Cluster of Trojena.

Currently under development, The Valley is an aspirational Trojena district which will be home to three developments with a 2.8 kilometres long man-made fresh-water lake at its heart.

The Water Village will feature residential, hospitality and commercial experiences, including retail and dining opportunities.

Dillip Rajakarier, group CEO of Minor International and CEO of Minor Hotels, commented, “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.”

“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,” said Philip Gullett, executive director and region head at Trojena.”

Chris Newman, executive director of NEOM Hotel Development, added, “Anantara has become synonymous with striking a harmonious balance between luxury and nature to offer guests a truly remarkable and indigenous experience. In parallel, they have been instrumental in successfully positioning and developing many new aspiring destinations around the world. We look forward to collaborating with Minor Hotels and Trojena on this new and exciting journey as one team.”

Trojena is scheduled to completed and opened to visitors and new residents towards the end of 2026 and will host the Asian Winter Games in 2029.

The destination is accessible via NEOM International Airport, where travelers can connect with key regional and international cities. In the future it will also be linked to NEOM’s high-speed rail network.
