At Banyan Tree AlUla, the experience begins with a welcome ceremony featuring authentic bakhoor and homemade iced tea infused with moringa from local AlUla farms. You are refreshed with cold towels and greeted warmly by staff, including Saudi professionals who imbue the ceremony with their country’s signature charm and warmth.

Upon arrival at Our Habitas AlUla you will participate in a unique welcome ceremony – a feature of Our Habitas around the world – that reflects the local culture and nature. You are asked to set an intention for their stay, whether it is to relax, learn, or experience nature, enriching your overall experience and helping you feel more involved and present during your stay.

The AlUla experience at both properties aims to help everyone appreciate the destination's wonders in a relaxed, informal manner. You are encouraged to immerse yourself in the natural beauty and culture of AlUla through playful and inviting activities. For instance, Our Habitas AlUla offers a sound bath under the stars, an extraordinary experience that differentiates it from other regional offerings. A significant aspect of the hospitality at Our Habitas AlUla is also the communal Sunday meals, which use food — a universal cultural element — to bring people together.
