Located on the Red Sea Coast in the northwestern parts of Saudi Arabia, the island of Sindalah will start welcoming visitors in 2024.
Easily accessible from the NEOM Bay Airport, the island will be home to a beach club, three luxury hotels, a yacht club, a golf course, and a sports club. But this is not all. Here are the top five things that future visitors should know about the island.
1. Connecting the dots
Sindalah will be connecting different tourist attractions in the area together. Some of the areas include THE LINE, Oxagon, and Trojena. This will make such destinations accessible for Sindalah’s visitors, who can easily take day trips to nearby islands.
2. Short trip away
Strategically located in the Red Sea, the island will also be a short flight away from major international destinations. This will make a trip to Sindalah from cities across Europe, Middle East, and Asia just a few hours away.
3. Yachting destination
Sindalah will be an exclusive destination for the world’s yachting community. The island is specifically designed to cater to luxury travellers, including yacht owners, cruise passengers, and nautical enthusiasts. The place will also be providing high-quality marine activities, where boat owners can moor either at 86-berth marina or from 75 offshore buoys.
4. Vibrant nightlife
But this is not the only activity available on the island. Visitors will also be able to choose from sports activities like kite surfing and kayaking. This is in addition to exclusive music concerts as well as fashion and culinary festivals.
5. Close to nature
The island will also be a perfect destination for diving enthusiasts who can enjoy the rich marine life. NEOM is home to more than 2,000 marine species, over 600 of which can only be found in the Red Sea. Areas of seagrass, open sea and coral reefs house dolphins, turtles, dugongs, manta rays, whale sharks and a myriad of rare corals and colourful reef fish.
