Raffles Hotels & Resorts and NEOM have announced a new resort in Trojena. The resort, named Raffles Trojena, is expected to open in 2027 and aims to revolutionize the concept of mountain hospitality. The project plan features a distinctive and impressive ring-shaped design, providing guests with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with NEOM on the creation of Raffles Trojena, an architecturally significant resort that will showcase the very best in modern luxury hospitality and underscores Raffles’ commitment to growing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Trojena is set to be a destination unlike any other, and this mountainside retreat continues the Raffles legacy of growing in the world’s most compelling locales, providing our guests with an opportunity to ignite their passions through highly personalized service and experiences,” said Omer Acar, CEO of Raffles Hotels & Resorts.

On the ground level, there will be circular zones and carefully designed gardens that will inspire visitors to explore and discover. The roof, which contains various circular openings, will provide plenty of natural light. Additionally, the Raffles resort will showcase the distinctive characteristics for which the well-known hospitality brand is recognized around the world.

A place of epic natural majesty combined with immersive and extraordinary experiences – from world-class sporting events, skiing and hiking to Arabian culinary and stargazing adventures that embrace the mountain spirit.” said Philip Gullett, Executive Director, and Trojena Region Head.

“It is a credit to Trojena as a destination to have Raffles joining our portfolio of properties, offering visitors the opportunity to experience the very summit of luxury. With this latest resort, the boundaries of architectural excellence continue to be pushed, complementing the stunning natural beauty of the region’s vast mountain ranges.
