With direct access to the Red Sea waterfront on the secluded offshore of Al Mahar Island and part of the lively port city of Yanbu, arises the upcoming luxury five star Kempinski Hotel & Resort Yanbu, opening later this year.

Kempinski Hotel Yanbu

The property will reopen as the leading luxury resort hotel in the Royal Commission of Yanbu in western Saudi Arabia. After a complete closure during the coming months, the existing sprawling complex will be meticulously renovated and repositioned in readiness for the most discerning guests.

Offering exclusivity, a bespoke welcome, a place of belonging and a truly private enclave of tranquillity; it will be renowned for its elegance on the beachfront.

In keeping with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the property will cater to myriad travellers, no matter their reason for visiting the area. The Kempinski Hotel Yanbu will be known as a place for conducting business in addition to being a favoured location for leisure guests.

The building plan of the Kempinski hotel Yanbu includes a reduction in the number of deluxe rooms, resulting in 23 spacious additional suites, perfectly complementing the 12 architecturally designed villas and 48 designer apartments, tailored for a bespoke clientele with a taste for the extraordinary.

Five high-quality restaurants and lounges will offer exquisite culinary experiences with Kempinski bringing its world-renowned food and beverage knowledge and award-winning chefs to Yanbu.

An infinity pool, a fitness centre, a private beach, a marina for excursions to enjoy a day at sea, a diving school as well as spacious meeting and conference areas, which are also particularly suitable for stylish weddings, leave nothing to be desired. A separate and exclusive 3000 sq m Ladies’ Spa with its secluded beach, steam baths, hammam, treatment rooms, restaurant and tea lounge, as well as a future prestigious Royal Villa, round off the comprehensive offer.

Indeed, the destination of Yanbu has a lot to offer: While in the old town, an important post on the spice route, guests can visit a typical Hijazi building where the famous British military officer T.E. Lawrence lived, the night market Souk Al Lail invites to stroll in the late evening.

At Yanbu Lake, one of the largest artificial lakes in the country, a botanical paradise enchants with flora from all over the world, and in the coral-rich bay of Sharm Yanbu, divers find their tourist highlight. In the northeast of the city, Mount Radwa rises to 2,200 m, the highest point in the Al-Nakhil Mountains, known for honey and wild nature and the destination of regular tours.

The future Kempinski Hotel & Resort Yanbu is only 20 minutes away from Yanbu International Airport, which offers domestic flights to Dammam, Jeddah and Riyadh, as well as flights to Cairo, Istanbul, Dubai and Sharjah. By car, it is less than 2.5 hours to Al Madinah and 3.5 hours to Makkah.
