Sindalah has welcomed its first wave of invited guests, marking the official opening of the island – NEOM’s first destination. With a year-round climate and glistening azure waters, Sindalah offers unique experiences above and below the water. Spread over 840,000 square meters, and featuring a state-of-the-art, 86-berth marina, Sindalah will usher in a new season of sailing.

Situated in the Red Sea, five-kilometres off the northwest coast of NEOM, Sindalah offers 840,000 square-metres worth of entertainment and amenities. In addition, Sindalah is a 17-hour sail away from significant Mediterranean ports, meaning yacht owners from Europe, the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, are offered easy access.

The island is home to a range of breathtaking properties from world-renowned hospitality brands offering 440 rooms and 88 villas, as well as 218 serviced apartments

Designed by yacht architecture firm Luca Dini, the island is home to a wealth of exclusive features for club members and guests, ranging from a relaxing terrace pool, to a fashionable lounge, and a fine-dining restaurant curated by Michelin-starred chef Enrico Bartolini.

Work on NEOM is progressing alongside other major development projects launched as part of Vision 2030, Prince Mohammed’s bid to position the world’s biggest crude exporter for an eventual post-oil future.

As NEOM's first physical showcase, Sindalah blends the natural beauty of the island with tech-driven design and architectural excellence. Masterfully designed by leading yachting architecture firm, LUCA DINI Design & Architecture, Sindalah offers world-class restaurants, hotels, venues and experiences.
