Diriyah Company, the developer of a $63.2 billion giga-project in Diriyah, a town in the north-western outskirts of Riyadh, has broken ground on three renowned hotels – Oberoi, Aman and Six Senses – as part of its Wadi Safar masterplan.

This recent slate of new assets within the Wadi Safar masterplan, signifies an ongoing commitment to redefining sustainable urban living, the company said.

These luxury destinations reflect Diriyah’s commitment to providing best-in-class accommodation underpinned by sustainable and authentic experiences. Located nearby, the newly completed Eastern Gate and the Wadi Safar Experience Centre round out the Wadi Safar landscape.

A giga project for Saudi Arabia, Diriyah is set to become the kingdom’s foremost historical, cultural and lifestyle destination. As part of the kingdom’s 2030 Vision, about 14 sq km of Diriyah will be transformed into one of the world’s foremost historic tourism destinations.

Diriyah is located within Riyadh Province, just 15 minutes north-west of Riyadh’s city centre. It is recognised as a symbolic centre of inspiration for the generations of leaders that have led the kingdom since the foundation of the first Saudi Arabian state in 1727.

Jerry Inzerillo, Group CEO of Diriyah Company, said: “At Wadi Safar, we are re-defining lifestyle as we work to create one of the world’s greatest gathering places. Today’s milestone achievements represent the realisation of our vision for a harmonious fusion of luxury, sustainability, and cultural authenticity.”

“As we continue on our transformative journey, Wadi Safar is a testament to Diriyah’s unwavering commitment to creating spaces that transcend the ordinary, offering an authentic, luxurious, and sustainable living experience shaped by nature. It’s not just about buildings; it’s about crafting a legacy that resonates with the soul of Saudi Arabia and the world, a legacy that future generations will cherish and from which they will draw inspiration,” he added.

In another development, Diriyah Company has announced the launch of its new luxury residential development, Ritz-Carlton Residences, in Diriyah.

The kingdom’s first Ritz Carlton Residences, located in the heart of Diriyah, features Najdi heritage-inspired villas that capture the essence of elegance and tradition of the region.

It provides a selection of six layouts for the residential villas, ranging from three- to five-bedroom units, featuring a splendid courtyard. Additionally, the owners can choose from three distinct interior designs ranging from the traditional Najdi to contemporary.
