NEOM has teamed up with Zannier Hotels, a pioneer in bespoke hospitality, to create a luxurious eco-resort, Zannier Zardun, in Zardun, one of Magnaβs destinations located in the Northwest of Saudi Arabia on the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba.
This retreat, carefully crafted to blend with its surroundings, will offer unparralleled experience for discerning guests seeking authenticity and connection with nature’s beauty. Perched on a picturesque landscape that unfolds from mountains to sea, Zannier Zardun promises guests an unforgettable escape amidst clear waters and panoramic views.
