Plan your trip to AlUla Wellness Festival

Balance your Wellness Festival journey with moments of stillness. From quiet trails to ancient sites and open horizons, AlUla offers space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with nature’s rhythm.

Restful Retreats

AlUla’s sense of calm lingers long after the day ends - shaping where you rest, reflect and slow your pace. That spirit continues at Banyan Tree AlUla, where private villas and desert views invite deep stillness. In Old Town, Dar Tantora offers heritage and simplicity in beautifully restored mudbrick rooms. Our Habitas AlUla brings nature and design into perfect balance, while Cloud7 Residence blends contemporary style with a serene desert atmosphere.

Nourishing Your Body

In AlUla, every meal is a chance to fuel or recharge - with vibrant, flavourful food designed to uplift. At Zalata, traditional dishes like tamees and mezze bring a warm, home-cooked touch, while Pink Camel is perfect for light bites in a sun-filled courtyard. For something fresh and customisable, Fish Face poke bowls hit the spot, and Fresh House offers clean, nourishing plates made for mindful eating.

Soulful Experiences

In AlUla, even moments of stillness are experiences in themselves. Watch the light fade at Elephant Rock, as the desert falls quiet and the air turns gold. Wander the Oasis Heritage Trail, where every step follows a path shaped by centuries of life. Discover ancient inscriptions on a guided Hegra Tour, or simply take in the sweeping vistas from the volcanic heights of Harrat Viewpoint. In these quiet, grounding places, time stretches and perspective settles.
