the guide

A curated guide to Saudi Arabia’s finest hotels and resorts.

Saudi Resorts presents a refined selection of the country’s most exceptional properties, from the Red Sea coast and AlUla to Riyadh and beyond. Each hotel and resort is chosen for its quality, atmosphere and overall experience, offering a clear and focused overview of Saudi Arabia’s evolving hospitality landscape.

Developed as an editorial platform, the app is not a booking tool, but a guide designed for discerning travellers seeking reliable, independent recommendations. These recommendations are provided by the editorial staff of Resorts Magazine, which has just celebrated its 20th anniversary, with print and digital editions distributed in Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States.
