Diriyah in deal to develop premier Saudi tourism destinations

Saudi-based Diriyah Company (formerly Diriyah Gate Development Authority) has teamed up with pioneering luxury lifestyle brand Aman Group for the development of two premier tourism destinations in the kingdom.

Located in the exotic desert landscape near the city of Riyadh, Aman Wadi Safar will feature 78 hotel rooms as well as a collection of up to 34 fully-serviced Aman branded residences and expansive amenities including a vast Aman Spa and an array of dining experiences, while Janu Diriyah property being developed by Aman’s sister-brand Janu, will boast 120 rooms and a wellness centre.

On the Aman Wadi Safar property, Diriyah said it draws inspiration from the ancient city's historic and rich cultural heritage, traditional Najdi architecture and uniquely beautiful natural environment.

With a resort setting weaving through the wadis and plateaus of Wadi Safar, the connection between the property and Saudi’s iconic landscape will be constantly reinforced, it stated.

Following the successful opening of Aman New York, Denniston Architects has been appointed to bring Jean-Michel Gathy’s extensive experience combining Aman’s renowned design language with the local culture, heritage, and landscape of a destination to the project.

Janu (meaning soul in the ancient Indian language Sanskrit), has been created and designed in the spirit of Diriyah,
