Desert Rock Resort

Umluj, Saudi Arabia·
8.5 / 10
MICHELIN 2-Key
Hotel · Umluj, Saudi Arabia

Tucked into the craggy cliffs of the Hijaz mountains, Desert Rock isn’t just close to nature, it is carved into it. Villas and suites are built straight into stone or perched along ridgelines, with private pools and views that stretch across the open desert. Floor-to-ceiling windows blur the line between indoors and out, making the landscape part of the experience. There is a quiet drama to the setting, from stargazing terraces to a spa built for deep rest. It is raw, remote, and unlike anything else on the Red Sea coast.
