AlUla Wellness Festival

In a world where history meets serenity, the AlUla Wellness Festival transforms the Oasis into a veritable oasis of wellbeing. Paying homage to the historical significance of AlUla as a refuge of restoration and relaxation, this annual gathering celebrates holistic living, transformative practices and the spirit of community.

At the heart of the festival is the ‘Five Senses Sanctuary,’ offering a multi-day voyage into wellness through an unparalleled array of experiences and activities. Imagine unlimited classes, workshops and inspirational talks by celebrity yogis and world-renowned wellness luminaries. Yoga sessions transcend the ordinary, hand-pan workshops echo through the soul, and spiritual ceremonies make this sanctuary a truly transformative space. They host a range of special wellness-boosting pop-ups in different locations around AlUla, too – from sound-bathing to breathwork – all set against the backdrop of its serene natural beauty.

The festival offers a range of other multisensory experiences aimed at promoting wellbeing and spiritual connectedness. You can lose yourself in the restorative power of collective dance, like grooving to the blissed-out ‘All Day I Dream’ experience. Immersive soundscape sessions also use the healing power of vibrations to take guests on a journey of profound relaxation and introspection, set in iconic heritage sites such as Hegra and Dadan. The therapeutic power of art also adds to an environment dedicated to fostering personal growth and development.

Fitness aficionados can find their nirvana, too, through a range of revitalizing workout sessions. Pop-up fitness studios combine invigorating workouts with awe-inspiring scenery and innovative fitness technologies. The festival also harnessed the restorative power of nature, with silent hikes, full moon experiences and camping to immerse you in AlUla’s stunning and serene landscape.

Naturally, an emphasis on sustainability runs through AlUla Wellness Festival. Visitors can get involved in a range of inspiring workshops focused on everything from eco-gardening to heritage restoration, to help protect and promote this special place for generations to come.
